Your set up for fall looks fine, but like you said, after this point, things get complicated. Before I say anything more are you D1, D2, or D3? The reason I ask is because the new regional format for D1 would totally change the periodization advice I’d offer. D1 athletes who are even remotely close to making nationals will no longer have to chase marks because the regional qualifiers are relatively low. As such, these athletes (the ones who would have no problem qualifying for regionals) can pretty much train right through the outdoor season because they don’t have to run fast (speaking in terms of their fastest) until the regional meet. Athletes on the fringe of regional qualifying or D3 and D3 athletes don’t have this luxury.
