say you have been training all week, mon tues wed with weights on tues and you plan to race on the sat… would it be better to take thursday off and have a light day friday or… light train thurs and fri off…
Are there heats and finals or straight finals?
straight finals… 100, 200 and 400
I think either way would work, since you have str finals I probably would take thursday off or lite workout and perform some primer work on friday; for example 3 starts and 5x mb throws.
yeah hopefully that wil work becuase i genrally feel really sluggish after a rest day. no clue why
Each athlete is different some athletes can take 1-2 days off and run well, others will exp a neuroendocrine crash.
hmm ok… does that just mean that your hormones and nerves go hay-wire? how would you avoid this?
i had my day off on the thurs and did a light session on the friday and i ran a pb for the 200 on sat after backing up from the 100 and 400, thanks for the advice… i have a race this friday and a speed session on wed, i was thinking of just going ahead and having a light day thursday or friday morning… thoughts?
Well done.
