Hey Alana, yes I have watched with interest the heat wave across
Australia, amazing weather, we even had back to back 30 degree days
which is very hot for us,as to your program, I would shift into a more
power based program:
Full Body Power

2 sessions per week say Monday or Tuesday and then again on Thursday,
but on the Thursday workout I would just do the weights exercises
without the contrasts, I would also just concentrate more on the speed
sessions around this power session and top up your repeated speed at the
end of training sessions with say off the ground 22’s and jog through
50’s, so a session would be:
20 x 22 metres going every 15 seconds (5 minutes)
Walk to far end of field for recovery
10 x 50 metres then jog through to far end every 30 seconds (5 minutes)
Cheers, ashley
