          I’m getting ready for my outdoor season to begin, and I would like to peak early in the season. Here are the numbers I know

          Height: 6’1″
          Weight 192 lbs
          60m: 7.24 (November 2004 time trials, just for fun)
          100m: 12.7 (March 2004 before groin injury ending outdoor season)
          LJ: 17’1″
          VJ: 24″
          Safety Bar Squat: 355 lbs.

          I do the safety squats because I have a chronic back injury and it helps relieve some of the stress. I think that my biggest problem is low top speed. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

          Maybe because he wants to qualify for post season meets and can’t do it wothout peaking.
          To increase max V or top end speed do workouts like flying 30’s with full recovery.

          Thanks for the quick replies.

          The reason I want to peak early is because we have time trials early in the season and I want to be at my best because I want to earn a varsity letter, and be placed on the 4x100m or 4x200m relay based on time trials.

          As an update, I ran an unofficial. 11.73 100m today. Does that seem more in line with my 60m time? Thanks.

          its better, but if you can run a 7.24 you must have the worst finish in existence. was it hand timed?

          It sounds as if you are timing these events in various ways. Are all of the times you listed timed by someone else who knows how to time or better yet by an automated timing system? If you’re timing some of the races or time trials yourself and trying to make comparisons to fully automatic timed race times, it is extremely difficult to make valid comparisons.
