          why.. bc the caliber of athlete u r that workout would be a speed end workout  and for a speed end workout the vol is wayy to much. if u were a world class athlete then those times would be pretty easy.

          accel.
          4 x 20
          3 x 30
          2 x 40
          1 x 50
          (2 sets)

          Is that 20 total sprints? I'd suggest taming down the accels/short speed in GPP. Almost everywhere, the volume of your high intensity work looks disproportionate to the lower intensity work. This year, I got into trouble earlier in GPP w/ a slight quad strain, and it came about the time I was hitting too many open accels @ 100% on Mon and Fri, along with a lot of SLJ, VJ, etc. You'll feel a lot better if you scale back on your high intensity sprints across the board. It's ok to hit SOME faster accels now, but it seems that everything you're doing, you're trying to do fast and explosively.

          Today imma try to do 8 x 200 @ 26-27

          Another large block of higher intensity. That looks like intensive tempo. Why not hit 32-35 sec. and keep it extensive tempo for now in GPP? Remember volume and intensity share an inverse relationship in the overall periodization scheme of things.

          there is no indoors in miami, fla…what u think Trck400mRnnr???

          i didn't see that you were in miami…i'm way the hell up north…as far north as possible actually.

          Anyway even so i think you're training is ahead of where you should be this early in the season. the tempos and some sprints sounds more like it.

          The past few weeks my schedule has been something like this…

          mon: 20 minute moderate run…usually a little over 3 miles. Strength in the weight room…focusing on legs (cleans, deadlift etc…) abs

          tues: tempo work (i.e. hills, stadium stairs, fartlek etc…)

          wed: 20 minute run same as monday. weight room upper body (bench, pull ups, push press, etc…) abs

          thurs: tempo again but never the same as what was sone on tuesday

          fri: 20 minute run again. weight room legs again. squats, cleans, snatch…

          sat: easy 30 minute run

          sun: off

          The weight room workouts were always pretty intense…and many more lifts were done than i listed but it was never exactly the same every week. Sets and reps were changed too…but usually were between 8-10 reps with 3 or 4 sets.

          Someone correct me if I'm mistaken… but the reason to not run those times doesn't have so much to do with IF you can… but rather setting yourself up to peak too early. Start with times you can drop about 1 second off per week… this is why they were suggesting 32-35 seconds for your 200, obviously you can run those times…

          If you run a 35 this early so easily (and after those reps), you should do very big things outdoors. 35sec in a 300m time trial is what is needed at the minimum for a sub 50 400m and you are running it after reps, early, and easy, so you don't need to ask anybody here how to train because that is faster than what HSI does on their 300s and they're kinda fast!

          very well put, thats what i have been trying to tell him for months now. i highly doubt he run those times with those rest times.

          Those 300s are going to be pretty tough unless you are a 48sec 400m runner or better. HSI runs workouts like that (the 300s) in 40-41 and that is for guys sub 46.
