Elitetrack: Sport Training & Conditioning

Hey hoping all you super experienced coaches out there could give me some critique on my training program. This program is designed for high school level athletes. It is also a program design not an actual workout plan. I like to plan what I want to accomplish then just add in the workouts that help me achieve this. Any and all advice with be greatly appreciated. 

what events?

I am also a HS sprint coach.  You are lucky that you can train your kids all year long.  I get them, in whatever shape they show up in, at the end of February for 12 weeks.

You are clearly going for Long-to-Short, but the transition on March 15 seems a bit abrupt and could risk injury.  Also, I am guessing that the fall/winter "endurance" program is a lot of LSD.  What do you think the benefits are?  The drawbacks? 

People might be able to help more if you kind of spelled out the workouts, e.g. Ext Temp, Int Temp, Spl End, etc.

Sorry I guess I did forget to say the event. The program is for short sprinters 100, 200. W/ the 400 athletes using roughly the same outline. The difference being more time devoted in the final 3 stages to Speed Endurance.

The fall/winter endurance is kinda LSD. But it will not be like marathon or XC training. It would consist of runs like In and Outs on the infield of the football or soccer field (In and Outs x 18). Something to where they are not just going for long cross country endurance style runs. But instead working a little more towards the special endurance. Or what I hope to acccomplish is to increase the mitochondria available in a muscle with a little muscle transition towards type I fiber as possinle.  So I guess an example of the training through the phases would look like this

Endurance
Monday-Rest
Tuesday-Spl Endurance
Wednesday-Recovery
Thursday- Long Tempo 
Friday-Rest

Strength
Monday- Fartlek Training 
Tuesday-Recovery
Wednesday-Spl Endurance
Thursday-Recovery
Friday-Strength Endurance ( ex. Bleachers with 800m run)

During this phase I like to do my workouts on a 3 week rotation. So after three weeks either switching an excercise or altering it. Does this explain it more.

No offense, but I fail to see how these fall/winter endurance/strength workouts are going to benefit 400 runners, much less 100/200 runners.  Some in-andouts will help, but after mentioning them they don't appear in your outline.  I don't think that speed runners should go long periods with little or no speed in their training.  If you have your sprinters all year, where is the weight training? 

You are basically proposing months of no speed followed by 6 weeks of speed to peak for your big meets.  Could be a recipe for injuries.  I suggest you go to charliefrancis.com and find the thread on Lactic Treashold Training and read what Kit Kat has to say on pages 7-11.  Or you can read the whole thread, which will take you many, many days.  The thread is mostly oriented toward 400 but you can interpolate to 100/200. 

No offense taken I  put this on here for this exact reason. If I can better help my athletes, and myself then i'll do it.

I may have this wrong and probably do so correct me. But I consider In and Outs Special Endurance and have it on my plan twice in the Endurance and Strength phase.

If you look at the program I set up the first three sets of numbers are Days per week that we will train, Days per week we will spend lifting, and then finally days per week spent on the track running respectively. So there will be a lifting I just didn't include it in my last outline cause I was trying to address just the running aspect of my training.

Also on the speed issue if you notice in my original outline I have time dedicated to speed training starting Jan 19 (speed is the first column of percents. Which refers to training time spent on a given area) But I do see what you say now that the increase into speed phase may be to severe. 

What kind of training would you recommend in the fall/winter, or what changes would you make. I have only been coaching for 3 years and the first two were when I was straight out of high school. So I am still trying to perfect the art of coaching.
