Hi Ash,
yeah thanks for the response and i understand what you are saying but what i was trying to ask was how do you decide what to do say do 10 x 200m or 15 x 150 or 20 x 100 etc…which works best or should it be 20 x 175m?! The numbers i have used are not exact to what you have prescribed in previous posts but i hope understand what i am asking,
Cheers,
Runner.
Cheers well that is the interesting thing, I guess after some many years that I have come up with a number of around 3km for the start of repeated speed interval type sessions and I increase by 10 – 15% volume each week, it is more an art versus science, subjective versus objective monitoring, so I am sorry and I know I frustrate the hell out of people who want some cold hard criteria but it is more experiential than anything else after almost 20 years of preparing athletes it is a watchful eye and having honesty from the group you are working with to feed back to you their individual responses as well, cheers, ash
