A few weeks ago I sent you a survey about program
design for track sprinters.

The results were all over the map. But one thing is
for sure…

…you could use some help with your program design!

Let me show you why:

I asked you if you establish a training inventory before
sitting down to periodize your season.

43.6% of you said ‘Yes’
56.4% of you don’t

Without a training inventory, how do you know which
drills, exercises, workouts and progressions you’ll use
during the season?

Or which ones you’ll *need*?

Even more importantly, without establishing a training
inventory you it’s practically impossible to
periodize your season effectively.

I asked you if you know the difference between the
General Preparation, Special Preparation, PreCompetitive,
Competitive and Transition phases of training.

46.3% of you said ‘Yes’
53.7% of you said you don’t really know

I can promise you this:

If you don’t have a clear understanding of the demands
of these phases of training and how they fit into
your sprinters’ overall preparation, I have great news…

…your sprinters could be *much*, *much* faster.

Because understanding the phases of training is
absolutely critical to effective program design.

But this is the one that hurt me the most…

And it suggests that many of you…stretched
the truth…about establishing a training inventory
and understanding the phases of training.

I asked you to identify a Special Endurance I workout.

I gave you 4 options.

Only 17.4% chose the correct answer (4×220m @95% w/15′ rest).

My friend. That is not good. Because it shows a lack
of understanding as to how to progress workouts,
where they fit into training or how they affect the
body.

This leads directly to inconsistency in training and
in competition.

Without a training base, your sprinters can’t expect
to peak and run their fastest when it matters. They
won’t have the foundation that puts them in that
position.

Well you’re no different.

Without a proper knowledge base, you can’t put your
sprinters in position to meet their potential.

That’s why I want to help.

On Tuesday, November 11, I’m hosting a f.ree teleseminar
covering the “Top 5 Ways to Guarantee New Personal Bests
for Every Sprinter…From 55 - 400 Meters.”

If you coach sprinters, especially at the high school
level, you need to be on this call.

The indoor season is right around the corner and
neither you or your athletes can afford to make the
same mistakes again this year.
