8 Week Sprint Program (Mar 2022)

27 May

Around The Square – 3 x 4
Single Leg Bench Hops – 2 x 8
Depth Jumps – 3 x 5 x 45cm
Seated Box Jumps – 3 x 8

29 May

Trek (plyos) – 2 x 20
Accels – 20m bend
Sprints – 3 x 200, 2 x 200 (2.5 mins / 10 mins) in 28.5, 28.7, 28.9 & 29.1, 29.5

My series on 8th May was 27.7, 28.7, 28.9, 29.7, 30.9 so 0.8 slower on the first run (which was too fast last time) and 0.6 / 1.4 seconds faster on the final two reps. Pleased with that, I didn’t feel too horrible lining up for the final 200m and knowing my best is 26.2 I think a target of 28.5 is reasonable.

Thanks to the Jubilee I’ll have Thurs/Fri off so I plan to do a speed session on the Thursday and maybe some tempo on the Saturday or Sunday, meaning if I can work from home on Tuesday 7th I can finish a bit early and go to the local track meet.

1 June

Around The Square – 3 x 4
Tuck Jumps – 2 x 10
Floor to Ceiling Jumps – 3 x 10
High Knee Running – 3 x 40 contacts

3 June

Trek (plyos) – 2 x 20
Accels – 4 x 30m in ~4.5 secs
Sprints – 80, 100, 120m (10 mins / 12 mins) in ??.??, 12.72, 15.13

Always seem to screw up the hand timing with at least one rep. There was a slight headwind so I was pleased with the times.

5 June

10 minute run

I went online to register for the open meeting on 7th June but the deadline had already passed so if they decline my late entry I’m simply going to run a 100m / 200m on the evening of the 7th at my local track and then finish there.
