Hi
Thanks for your help.
I'm going to have to change the schedule you outlined for me. Because on friday i am packed till 6pm so will have to make that rest day.
This is what i have. Lower intensity before track training.
monday: weight training ( lower intensity )
tuesay: club training
wednesday: rest
thursday: club training
friday: rest
saturday: tempo work + weight training ( moderate intensity )
sunday: speed endurance + tempo (hill sprints, large reps of short distance sprints) only if i am not sore from yesterday
Couldn't even last a week without changing it could you lol. Seriously though, you can't just go to the gym after 6PM? Seems crazy to change your whole schedule just because you're busy on one day.
If you have to change it just do it on Saturday, and leave the rest as it was. You want to be fresh for your Tuesday track session, you don't want to have three straight days of exercise beforehand.
Another thing on intensity, I should have noted that you want to eventually have some high intensity lifting sessions. As a sprinter, you need to move a lot of weight quickly, so weight training should be more low rep heavier weight range eventually.
Eventually though, not now - once you've been doing weights for a few months and your times are starting to plateau, then you could throw in a few weeks of high intensity stuff.
don't want too much rest days.
what do you think?
thanks
Yes you do. One thing you need to drill into your head is that right now you are still a beginner/novice level sprinter. If you do the track sessions, get stronger in the key lifts (squat, DL, calf raise variant, chins, dips, bench etc), rest and recover well, and eat right, you can make a lot of gains right now. You don't need to do much more at the moment.
But above all else, please stop the over-analysing of every training plan you make. Have you actually done much over the last few months apart from constantly making and changing training plans? It's more important to just get out there and
train, and adapt as you go. Don't obsess over all the fine details.
