Strength training during world class championship meets

[lkh]

@pierrejean

Sprint training is strength training as well. Weights (or other resisted methods like sled, hills, head wind…) are support to it.

Ikh : As for sled, yes that’s the type of sled we use in Paris and Athens. In the beggining of the fall, while in NGR, the only sled available are simple tyres, that’s cheap but Olu made good use of it obviously. These are light but we’ve used them on hills as well.

I never really thought about doing this for race prep until I saw it being done. But when you think about it, this is about the only kind of strength setup that you can be sure of using at meets (no weights, no hills).
