I just had a thought - a rare occurance 
that if each member had their schedule available to view either in a thread or maybe concise and updated on their profile quite a lot could be learned from comparisons -
plus it would make it easier for the more learned coaches giving advice - saving the time honoured reply ’ if u could post ur schedule … etc ’
Well that was the thought for this year - you can all relax now 
Good idea. Maybe once a week we could highlight a forum member, and if they want, the person could post a workout or training ideas, etc.
Great idea Gloopzilla-now everybody will see how little work we actually do.
Your first.

Dammit - I’m an armchair sprinter who’s been found out 
- I’m a sofa surfer too
I’ll go first then and post my FAST methodology ( Fat Arse Slow Twitch ) later
Hey! That’s MY program! Credit where credit’s due. Make sure to alternate hands when operating the remote and rotate the chip dish to keep in balance.
Charlie, when using the remote on recovery days, do you flip through the channels slower than usual to stay in the lower intensity range?
Hey Guys,
Herb has been posting his training schedule at: http://www.charliefrancis.com/community/viewthread.php?tid=419
And I have been posting my training for the football combines at: http://www.charliefrancis.com/community/viewthread.php?tid=237
So there is no need to be shy…jump in, the water’s fine!

I’m game even though the water is under 1 foot of snow here! I like the thought of having the forum hold some of us accountable to our training and goals. I’m still in a base training phase. At the end of December I found this forum and my sprinting juices started flowing again. I had spent the previous 13 months training in the gym body building type routine (3x10reps)(4 day/wk avg.) and running 5k (2 times/week).
After recieving advise from the forum to lower my reps and increase the weight, I did just that. Unfortunately it took me 65 days to complete 5 “weekly” cycles. I find it difficult to workout 6 d/w (self employed, wife, baby )
I will post my last “week”

Hey Charlie - if u lose the remote u can always get a broom handle like Homer

Anyway here’s what I was doin until I got bubonic plague 2 weeks back ( my first virus / illness for 18 months damn neices )
So I’m in the process of easing back into it - and will try and add some jump squats / complex training to acceleration days when I’m firing on all cylinders . I’m not proud as u will see .

Friday might look a bit ham crazee but I sort of judge it as I go and fri bench and PC’s are very easy and just get me in the groove - I always work my weakest lifts first as others seem to progress ok . I sometimes add auxileries like bi / tri curls to the warm up too but really just to warm up .
I try and give myself 6 - 12 minute recoveries for all track reps and this will increase for speed end which can be either on wed or fri .
Tempo is not always possible on tues or thurs but is always on sun

It would be better for me to show what I do when I start doing it.
A usual week for me will soon be something like:
Monday:
Speed, usually around 300 meters. Mostly 30s and 50-60s from lying down, falling, or real (but without blocks) starts;
or standing starts working on getting progressively faster and staying relaxed;
or a run with an 85% 20, floor it 20, concentrate on relaxing 20, floor it again 20.
Weightroom:
Lower body core exercise:3 sets. 5 reps of an estimated 6 rep max. Then 4/3. Or 3 reps of an estimated 4 rep max. Then 2/1.
Bench-type core exercise:Same set and rep scheme
Back core exercise:Same set and rep scheme
Tuesday:
Low-intensity day, usually 2 sets of 4150 tempo; or 1 set of 4150 combined with medicine ball and/or sledgehammer work and/or bodyweight exercises; or just lots of medicine ball and/or sledgehammer work and/or bodyweight exercises
Wednesday:
Speed Endurance:
2*120-150m
Weightroom: clean or snatch for three-six sets or so, 1-3 reps per set, usually 2 or 3.
Bench-type core exercise:Same set/rep scheme as Monday.
Med ball:volume, or whether I’m doing it at all will depend on what I was doing in the O lifts and of course quality of the throws.
