Flying 20's

[Chris6878]

95% is wide open. When have u hit 100% at practice. That only happens at meets. You know exactly what I am talking about when I say wide open. Your never gonna run meet speeds at practice.

Meh, by time he hits the mark he should be "flying". I'm sure he understands this speed should be controlled and not wild.

95% is not wide open in my book - it's all good....

You can work on max speed while going 95%....

Hi RB34,

I have several practical questions related to the 95% figure.

1. When and how is the 100% figure measured? At practice or at a meet? Electronic timing or a stopwatch? Calculated based on meet performance?

2. What is the margin of error? For example, is that 95% plus or minus 2%?

3. How are coaches expected to measure the 95%? Stopwatches?

Best,
Christopher

microman, I doubt us mortals need that long a recovery after such a session. The intensity of the flyings will depend on the effort/speed and distance of the build-up and it should be used to 'set you up' so to speak for the flying.

Those questions can be answered in CF Van dvd - I believe James Smith asked a similar question to Charlie in that dvd.....

Okay all have been of great help, I understand what I need to do with the flying 20's now, I understand the difference between the 95%-100% intensity, the use of 10m splits, and the recovery required and why. Just wanted some confirmation from all the great minds here on the forum.

I have some more questions if I may,
SE as Charlie refers to in the Structure of Speed, stands for Special Endurance or Speed Endurance, and
is Special endurance 1 runs 90-98% intensity and
Spec End 2 is 95-100%
Speed Endurance is 90-95% ??

@glaeser i'm not sure if you were asking these questions as though you wanted to assist rb34, or not sure, but I think q1. at practice using a stopwatch measured at training using session performances, and q2. elec timers I believe .25s faster than hand timed. q3. using stopwatch 95% of athletes PB

speed end 70-150m 95-100%
spec end 1 150-300m 90-100%
spec end 2 300-600m 90-100%

[microman]

speed end 70-150m 95-100%
spec end 1 150-300m 90-100%
spec end 2 300-600m 90-100%

would I be correct to say full rec for Spec End 1&2 but not for speed end, and I take it SE is Speed End?

I believe James Smith asked a similar question ...

Thanks. I've been meaning to contact James about a related topic. I'll follow up with him.
