Hey whats up? Hope your season is going well. I did some of the contrast stuff you were doing and saw improvement. Thanks for your posts!!!
I did hi volumes of 120s ( up to 2x6x120 @ a bit faster than int tempo) this outdoors and I got better in both the 1 and 2. I just wanted to keep a good thing going. I know I can do 2x6x60 at 90%. Its hard but I can finish it. I wanted to do some of longer stuff this indoors but I find that the turns mess with my achillies too much (I had achillies repair few years back) So I wanted to do a hi volume of runs on the straights. I’ve got a few reasons for looking into this for SPP.
1)time- i can only get to the track 2x/week. Im thinking to do a hi volume 1x/week and 1 speed session /week then do some of the basement tempo stuff at home…
- running on the turns is hard on my lower legs
the indoor track by me is flat and tight.
I can go outside until november after that it starts getting brick outside and I hate running in the dark. I was going to do the 12 week SPP starting in october.
My idea is:
October - Mid November outside (Mid November- Jan) Indoors
Monday
4x6x60 the accel limit would start out @ 20m(progress to 4x60 w/40m accel limit over 12 weeks
Tues
tempo/fitness/bike etc
Wed

thurs
tempo/fitness/bike
Fri

Sat

Mon

Tues
