Weights for Speed 1

… Past experience has taught me two things though. First that developing athletes get very tired of high volumes of ExT and do so very quickly. Second that 2xH-I weeks leave athletes a bit short when it comes time to compete.

Actually the idea of of lifting the morning after speed or speed endurance is new enough for CF that I’m still trying to wrap my arms around it. I find it interesting that I came to it independently. It’s kind of a 2x1.5 H-I days a week as proposed.

Interesting. I’ve found it just the opposite this season with reference to ExT and HI volumes. Though I’m considering 22.x and 51.x as developmental.

However, a week after a microcycle similar to what you proposed produced the largest performance gains with these athletes to-date. They went:
