With less that 4 weeks to go until the start of the World Indoor Championships, my competitive racing schedule is complete and the final part of my training plan is focused on conditioning, i.e. adding speed to the strength and endurance platform that I have been working hard on over the winter:
To give you an example, last weeks sessions were generally much shorter and much faster:
- Tuesday – Speed Endurance – 60m, 80m, 100m, 120m, 150m at 95% race pace.
- Thursday – Special Endurance – 2 x 300m @ 90% race pace.
- Saturday – Simulator – 4 x 120m @ 400m race pace.
- Sunday – Technical/Acceleration – 8 x 40m block starts @ 95% race pace.
All of the sessions focused on form (fluency) and control (nothing too fast or risky) mixed in with pilates, gym and stretching on the days in between.
In addition to this the detailed racing timetable has now been published and I now know my first race will be at 5.30pm on Sunday 26th March:
Until next time …
