  1. TRANSITION FROM 3200 to 5k

  2. HIGH JUMP GURU??? • In three years • 5’9 jumper at Pilot Point who was a two time state champion • Two 5’8 jumpers at Flower Mound • 7’0 jumper at Flower Mound • Past four years • One 5’4 high jumper • No boy has jumped higher than 6’4

  3. Freaks and Geeks • We all have had our share of freaks! • Goal is basically to not screw them up • How do we get the mediocre kids to improve and contribute on the varsity level?

  4. Improvement in XC

  5. Improvement in Track

  6. Progression Through Goals • Athletes set individual and team goals • Set three different time goals • Discuss how they are going to reach their goals • Athletes take ownership of their future

  7. Progression Through Mileage • Main reason for our athletes improvement is from increases in their mileage • Starts every year during the summer time • Goal is to improve cardiovascular system • I can’t train them to be like Usain Bolt!

  8. Mileage Continued • Follow ten percent rule • Example: Athletes who runs 30 miles a week will only increase their mileage by 3 the next week • After every three weeks take a down week and cut mileage by 20 percent

  9. Summer Mileage • Kids receive a training log at the end of the school year • Required to email coach once a week and report their mileage • Coach keeps track of mileage on an excel sheet and updates website weekly

  10. Mileage for Girls • Freshmen: 20 to 30 miles a week • Sophomores: 30-35 miles a week • Juniors: 35-40 miles a week • Seniors: 40-50+ miles a week

  11. Mileage for Boys • Freshmen: 25-35 miles a week • Sophomores: 35-45 miles a week • Juniors: 45-55 miles a week • Seniors: 55-65+ miles a week

  12. Pace for Distance Runs • Freshmen Athletes: Whatever they can manage! • Returning Athletes: 2 minutes slower then 5k race pace. • Sometimes faster and sometimes slower • Important to focus on FEEL

  13. Weekly Schedule

  14. Training Phases • Preseason- Focus is on building endurance • Early season- Focus is on SPEED and endurance • Mid Season- Focus is on speed endurance • Peak Season- Focus returns to speed and maintaining endurance

  15. Preseason Workouts • TEMPOS • FARTLEKS • CRUISE INTERVALS

  16. Tempos • Pace should be about 30 seconds slower than 5k race pace. • Should be able to say a few words, but not talk in complete sentences. • Should feel like you could have gone faster and longer • AVOID RACING!

  17. Tempo Workouts • We have a 2.5 mile hilly loop that we use. Coach can monitor the times • Start of season we run a 5 mile tempo • End of season we run a 6 to 7.5 mile tempo • One BIG workout is the 10 mile tempo. At this length not really at tempo pace.

  18. Cruise Intervals • Goal is to run slightly faster than tempo pace. • Helps in the transition to the faster intervals. • For every five minutes take 60 second rest.

  19. Cruise Interval Workouts • Boys start with 8x1000 with 60 seconds rest at the beginning of the season. • Girls start with 8x800 at the beginning of the season with 60 second • Boys work their way to 5x1600 with 60 seconds rest by the end of the season. • Girls work their way to 7x1200 with 60 seconds rest by the end of the season. • Why the equal rest for girls and boys?

  20. Fartleks • Goal depends on the length of the faster sessions. • Athletes run continuously and speed up when they hear the whistle. • Kids for some reason love this workout compared to tempos and cruise intervals. • Can also focus on running in packs because slower athletes can catch up during the rest.

  21. Fartlek Workouts • 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 with 60 second rest • Sets of 2-1-30 seconds with 60 seconds between reps and two minutes between sets • 10x3 minutes with 60 seconds rest

  22. Early Season • Time to DROP THE HAMMER!!! • Work on turnover to provide a better transition for the longer intervals • Workouts do not accumulate high levels of lactic acid. • Girls this year may want to focus more on tempos and fartleks.

  23. Speed for Cross Country • Hill circuits thanks to Arthur Lydiard • 45 minutes continuous for Varsity Boys • 40 minutes continuous for Varsity Girls • Use long and short hills • Also combined with fartlek running at top of the hill

  24. Speed for Track • Workouts below are thanks to Jack Daniels • 3(6x200 + 1x400) at mile race pace • 3(5x200 + 1x600) at mile race pace • 3(4x200 + 1x800) at mile race pace

  25. Mid Season • Speed Endurance • Being able to use that speed and carry it over a longer period of time • Focus is mostly on running at race pace • Do not overcook these intervals!!!

  26. Progression Through Intervals • One of our staple workouts is 6x800 @ 3200-5k race pace with equal rest. • How do we improve? • Run faster intervals • Lengthen distance of intervals • Run more intervals • Shorter rest

  27. Run Faster • Original workout was 6x800 @ 2:20 with 2:20 standing rest. • Improve by running 6x800 @ 2:18 with 2:20 standing rest. • Can athletes keep running faster each and every workout? • Concern of overtraining?

  28. Run Longer • Original workout was 6x800 @ 2:20 with 2:20 standing rest. • Improve by running 5x1000 @ 2:55 with 2:20 standing rest. • Focus on carrying pace for a longer distance • Some athletes struggle with having to run over two whole laps! Or maybe it’s just my girls team?

  29. Run More • Original workout was 6x800 @ 2:20 with 2:20 standing rest. • Improve by running 8x800 @ 2:20 with 2:20 standing rest. • I like this especially for cross country! • Good for freshmen girls who don’t have the stamina yet to run less and the top athletes run more.

  30. Shorter Rest • Original workout was 6x800 @ 2:20 with 2:20 standing rest. • Improve by running 6x800 @ 2:20 with 2:00 standing rest. • I especially like this workout for the end of the season. Usually by this point you have a good idea of what pace they can accomplish in a race.

  31. Girls Intervals Progression • 12x400 with 200 meter jog • 4(800, 400) 2 minutes between rest and 2:30 between sets. • 4(1000, 300) 2 minutes between reps and 5 minutes between sets .

  32. Peak Season • Goal is to feel sharp and ready to race • Workouts should give the athlete confidence • Focus on teams strengths and not their weaknesses

  33. Peak Season Workouts for XC • 3x2000 with 60 seconds rest plus 4x200 • 30 minute fartlek with one minute rest between intervals • 6 mile tempo on the district course focusing on negative splits

  34. Peak Season Workouts for Track • Depends on the event and their strength • Treat athletes as individuals • 4x1600 with sixty second rest plus 3x150 • 3(600, 200) • 10x200’s for last workout before peak race

  35. Things Flo Mo Girls Focus On • Race is not a sprint • Tempos and Fartleks • Running on softer surfaces • Finishing strong

  36. Favorite XC Workouts • 30-40 minutes of 2-1-30 Fartlek • 7.5 mile tempo run • 90 minute long run

  37. Favorite Track Workouts Connor Ward (2011 1600 State Champ) 4(800,400) (2:36, 73) (2:34, 72) (2:32, 72) (2:28, 68) Connor Adams (2010 1600 State Champ) 3(800, 200) (2:03, 28) (2:02, 27) (2:01, 26) Melissa Cook (2004, 2008, 2012?
