[quote author="Matt Norquist (WashedupDec)" date="1264990500"][quote author="Jay Turner" date="1264989752"]Was just looking at this old post and thought I would ask pretty much the same question. I have a high school freshman girl that has heptahlete written all over her, and was going to start training her as a multi-eventer immediately. What does everyone think of this weekly setup:
Monday – accel. development, HJ approaches, Shot Put
Tuesday – tempo, technical work
Wednesday – MaxV or Speed Endurance, Shot Put
Thursday – technical work, general strength
Friday – approaches (HJ and/or LJ)
Thoughts?
Also, Mike, I read somewhere that you’d work on the throws on your technical day. Aren’t the throws considered high CNS/intensity?
IMO – Throws at the level most HS and even most multis do them are relatively easy on the body, even done at effort.
I feel like you need at least 1 more day of tempo on Thursday or Friday. I’d make sure you get Javelin technical work in there, as this is a common weakness.[/quote]
Since the state of Ohio doesn’t have Javelin, I am planning on waiting until the summer (when she runs the AAU/USATF circuit) to work on this. I’d like to focus on what she already knows for right now. It’s a 4 year process, so I’m taking my time on her.
So how about this setup Matt…..
Monday – accel. development/long jump approaches, high jump approaches
Tuesday – tempo, shot put, technical work
Wednesday – MaxV or speed endurance, long jump
Thursday – tempo, shot put, technical work
Friday – short approaches (long jump or high jump)
Saturday – meet day

I like it. Weights?
