I have tried something similar to Horwills multi pace training and I respond well to that. I think Lydiard training is a bit outdated. Problem with lydard training is that you have too spend so long...

Sorry then its my mistake. English is not first language.

sorry didnt mean to be harsh. just didnt understand

1. I cant see why 5k pace intervalls like 5x1k should tear you down? Most middle distanse runners do this once a week. According to reasearch this is very effective for improving vo2 max.
2....

What I have read coe did the 5 pace training invented by frank horwill.
But I cant, from a physiological find the reason for doing shorter intervalls during base. Endurance is endurance and speed is...

The 800m requires both speed and endurance.
What about doing just training to increase LT and pure speed during base to build both speed and endurance. Then when when getting ready for competition...

Lets assume we have a 800m runner who can only train once per day(because of time, work etc..), and has 3 "hard" sessions per week. Intervalls. Rest of the days are easy jogging for recovering.

Pakewi, I think u misunderstood me. I didnt mean my actual feeling DURING training but how I FELT in my daily life/sleep beetween the training session. How well recovered I felt. Of course I know...

Thanks,

The constant change in stimuli/intensity sounds logical. To prevent that the body gets "immune" against the training stimuli.

From what I have read about 400/800m training they dont do...

In this case training was mainly running. hill runs, extensive tempo and intensive tempo.
For myself I think its very difficult to know which state my body is in. Yesterday I felt crap, but during...

I understand. I think this can be done for 1 week max. 2 weeks would be way too risky in my opinion. (but it all depends HOW hard the days during the period is of course.

Since the injury risk is...

I am just playing around these days and dont have any plan to run competition. therefore I experimented with training to see how it effects me.

I did 9 days period of relatively hard training.

thanks Kit Kat.
Some time offline is also good for our mental health :)

My english is not perfect. Can you explain what you mean about contrast? contrast like u have a wide vairiaty of training...

Maybe a stupid question, but how do I convince people to follow my training program/regime? I am quite young and dont have the autority as older coaches.
I do have a education in sports with good...

Thanks Pindaman.

Do u remember how kitkats program could be adjusted to 800m?
I remember there was some info about it, but the tread is so huge and I could not find it.

I guess its just to add...

I want to coach some people.
I took over coaching of my friend and within 3 weeks I got him down from 2.00.50 in the 800m to 1.57.7. ( he had struggled for 10 years to get under 2.00)

The...

Thanks I think I found it now

Great. Can u give an example of a gpp and spp week? And/Or tell what kind of weekly structure u follows?

Has anyone here tried kit kats 400m program?
Any success with it?
And did u have to adjust the training volume down?
I guess the structure of the program is for everyone, but the session should be...

I am not trying to be rude here, but feels like u guys here suggest to me to do 6 months with easy training after a minor hamstrings strain.
I cant see the problem with doing some extensive tempo...

Ok I get your point.
My plan should then be to start with slow extensive tempo, easy continous striding, and then increase the intensity gradually. (as long as hamstrings dont give me any pain)...

I have read abit yes. I do stretching and foam rolling and I do easy 1 legged rdl, bulgarian squats and regular rdl all with dumbells.
But I cant afford physical therapy.

I have done the sessions before and I have managed 3x3x300m @51, with 1,5 min rec rest and 6 min set rest. My hamstring is not that bad. I got a minor strain and extensive tempo is going fine with no...

Would running intensive tempo 3 times pr week be a good idea if u want to get the most benefit out of little time spend on training?

I am recovering from a strained hamstring so I am trying to...

I am honored to finally join this tread :) I have read trough it 2 times now but still I have some questions for kitkat. (or other who can reply)

1. Is there an example of the training program in...
