Elitetrack: Sport Training & Conditioning

what would hart have been doing for the fall workouts for the 400m??

He does a lot of strength building workouts.  He believe that strength will enhance speed.  I believe he started this style of training with MJ because he often injured.  Fall work would include intervall 200's, 300's, 450's, 500's, 600's, long hills, ladders like a 6, 4, 2, 4, 6 with 5 minutes rest, 1200's think like that.  He does include fartleks as well.  He does a lot of event based workouts where they will work on their strategy for 400m in their workout.  He also has a timing system that will time where they should be at certain increments to see where they are lacking.  Andrew Rock has used this type of training and I believe he got the idea from those guys, but I could wrong. 

To make clear, by strength, heartsonfire actually means endurance. Strength is the ability to produce force, what Hart trains is the ability to sustain a given pace / workload....much closer to the text book definition of endurance.
