is this early season?? now in the season? I remember reading Percy Duncan say from Speed Trap and CFTS that either run at 75 or 95 %, everything else makes your legs into wood… something along those lines.
I wouldn’t do any Special Endurance in the GPP but that period doesn’t last long for developed athletes and SE can start quite early. As for the weekly set-up, it depends on whether the plan is from short to long or long to short.
As most plans go from long to short, you’d prob start with 2 SE sessions per week, with 1 speed and 1 Strength Endurance session (running As for a longer distance/time) as follows:
M- SE (ie 2x300m), W- S, F- SE (ie 2x600m), Sat- Str End ( 80, 100m running As at walking pace forward) with tempo T, Th.
Short to long programs have so many more variables that you’d have to give a very specific example to come up with a plan.
The plan is based more towards short to long since this athlete can run very fast 300s ( 32s) yet cannot maintain such quality with 350s or 400s. Currrently i am undecided on weather to use the following plans
( short to long)
a) Wk 1 300- wk 2 325-wk 4 350 wk 5 375 all @ 100%
or
( long to short)
b) Wk 1,2,3 600s @ 85%, wk 4,5,6 500s@ 90% ,
Perhaps a plan similar to the one I listed above would work, but, first, we need to know how many weeks are available for the prep period. Will this run till late Oct?
