I had a post in here somewhere that got lost during the updates.
A possible summer plan that could be pretty low key:
1) Day 1 acceleration dev. 10-20meters of acceleration efforts. Followed with some general lifts.
2) day 2. tempo oriented. 100 meter repeats @ 70%, increasing volume and/or also playing with rest intervals.
3) Day 3. Tech day, utilizing sprint specific drills to allow you to teach what you would like to see mechanically. Finish with general lifts.
As freshman and soph. many of issues may take care of themselves as they grow stronger.
2) How about this for a long-to-short setup…..Yes, you're cutting volume all year, but like 4 weeks before the peak meet increase the volume a lot and start cutting again to get that supercompensation effect during the peak meet? Anyone think that would work?
No. There are numerous reasons this would not work, the most general I can think of being that, increases in volume would require decreases in intensity, which is a key component of any plan, especially during comp phase. Trying to do maintain both would be inviting injury along with causing an overtraining affect. Neural development is lost with heavy loads of volume. your 'supercompensation' may actually be more of a mask of actual performance. you fatigue the body with high loads of volume, perform below what you are capable of, rest and then perform at the level you are capable of all the time thinking you "peaked".
My disclaimer- I'm not a big fan of long to short.
