I think you have 2 people merged into one here. You have quoted my PBs for 100 and 200, but the 300 PB you have mentioned is QUikazhell's, not mine. I'm not crazy enough to run a 300 lol.

I don't really have much to add to this in terms of your specific question. I remember though, a good friend of mine strained his soleus at the very end 2006 and it took ages before if fully...

What do you think the advantage would be using 60s over flys? I like leg press as I feel I can load the legs more, but I miss that feeling of hip extension that I get with cleans, trap bar deads etc....

It is more likely I would be wrong!!! I did think I read somewhere that sleds/hills were kept in year round.....

Thank you RB34. I like the template you have sent me. Are you suggesting relying largely on the meets for max velocity work? I notice the 2x60 on the Monday of a non racing week will give some...

How many weeks have I trained in total this year? I'd have to look back and check. Perhaps my record keeping needs improving! The last meeting is August 10th at this stage, but there maybe another...

I have around 8 meets, with the first one potentially being this weekend. However, the weather may mean this doesn't happen. Prior to reading the replies on this thread today I did 2x4x20m on a hill...

This issue has been mentioned on a separate thread regarding use of resisted runs in the competition phase. I was under the impression MVP kept them in year round and if so, what was the...

[QUOTE=Angela Coon;246935]

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it with my thinking. I have read that MVP keep hills/sleds in year round, do we know their reasoning for this? I am just trying to open the...

Thank you to all that have contributed. Angela's extract was helpful, although it does raise the question for me of the exact definition between speed endurance and special endurance. Would an...

Ahhhh okay, so it's what you're advising for me. I would say my fitness is not too much of an issue generally. I have been doing the core and the general strength work. Not so much tempo, although I...

I agree that good sleep is more important, although have no science to back this up, I'm sure some studies may have been done on this, if not, there's an area for research! I have read that other...

Can you elaborate please RB34? Do you mean general conditioning is easier to develop quickly?

I have never ventured beyond 30-35m for tyre/sled pulls. I would worry it may disrupt the mechanics of max velocity. However, if you bring the weight right down, it may not be a problem. Would your...

How would you feel about using resisted runs over a short distance at the beginning as opposed to falling starts?

I like the look of both training week templates. Is 9 block starts necessary 3 days out from a meet however? I see the velocities won't be that great in the bulk of those reps, but that still could...

Hi Phil, I'm good. You? How heavy are you loading the sled for 60m? I have never really done anything resisted further than 30-35m max, which I would imagine would mean it would have less impact upon...

I like this approach. It seems like in week 8 you are introducing speed endurance, or at least beginning to bridge towards it, yet in week 12 that quality doesn't seem to have progressed. That said,...

I find this point interesting as I am in that situation now. I was thinking last night about giving my training a speed endurance focus over the next 6 weeks, partly because speed qualities can also...

Those are both very low volume sessions. I like the contrast concept in the first example. Thanks for your input!

If this has been discussed before, please direct me to the thread, but I did a search and couldn't find anything.

I am keen to know what the research says and what the opinions are on using...
