The problem, though, comes from the belief on my part(from witnessing a few of the sessions) and theirs that they can too easily finish at the same pace-that is, the pace is not challenging enough to serve as true active recovery work. The pace is, likely, not challenging enough and due to not always being able to be present to view these sessions, I want to provide more specific guidelines.
Though I believe they have become more challenging of late(too slow previously) yet since all of the work may be too slow and thus they can easily finish at the pace they start at, I need to make the work and times more defined.
Would a short grass field be about a 2-3 tenths slower for a 100 than that done on a track or is that not enough? I know any recommendations cannot be too exacting due to surface variation etc. but I’m just trying to hone in on the details. Thanks.
It’s tempo, it’s chicken soup and I’m sure the level of your athletes should be in that 14-16sec zone. If it’s too easy throw in 20 situps and 10 pushups on each end. Don’t make it more complex then it is.
