Well, Its the rainy season and training involves a lot of outdoors work. The past few days it has rained some which completely throws out tempo and sprints on those days unless I want to bust my tail. Just so I am prepared for when this happens, what would work for a good replacement for extensive tempo and sprints?
Im guessing that for extensive tempo I could do circuits, but I cant think of anything that would make a halfway decent replacement for the sprints.
PS: If there is no replacement for one of them, could you please tell me of something that would “have to work”?
When it rains (a lot lately), I normally do circuits like you said in place of tempo. You can also do running in place, which sounds stupid and easy, but it can be a lot more challenging then you think.
For the sprinting, I normally do plyos in their place, as that is the only thing that I can really do that is explosive like that…
Unless you are running in a flood, I do not see how rain would keep from performing sprint work. Try running on a different surface if the track is under water.
The next alternative would be running on an inclined treadmill.
