|
|
Hello,
I have created a training programe for this season and I would like to know what you think about it. Comments on changes, improvements, recoverys etc etc...
Ok, first I want to say that when training for 800m you need to focus on
speed, speed, lots of strength, slow milage and good vo2 max sessions.
I have seen many athletes running 1,54-2.00. on low milage but with a lot of speed and intense sessions in their training. I have also seen some of Vebjørn rodals training It was 1-2 max leg strength sessions. 2 plyos
session. 2 vo2 max, sprint. Full out anaeorobic sessions like 3*200-3*150m-3*100m uphill with short rec. I am not saying that AT training is not benifical, but 800m runners should focus more on speed and hard vo2 max sessions. And buliding endurance with slow milage, rather then get tired from AT training, and not able to do strength, speed, anaerobic sessions.

It looks like a pretty solid program (I agree with the principals you expoused). I'm guessing it's intended for just under 2:00 athletes, or thereabouts?
That Tuesday workout could be pretty rough with 10x200 and 10x150 at fairly high intensity. One thing to keep in mind with doing a large quantity of intervals at high intensity is to build in sufficient rest, otherwise you turn it into an aerobic workout toward the end and defeat the purpose of what you set out to do.
