Coach Chris spent some time with the Champ this week….

Chris has been on the road even more than I have. This week he spent some time in Cookeville with Rich and is headed to train up in Ann Arbor before he heads home.
Still made sure to send us the goods, though. And we are so glad he did.

6 x Overhead Walking Lunge (135/95)
9 x Weighted Back Rack Jump Squats (135/95)
12 x Weighted Box Jumps
200m row (max effort sprint)
3min rest b/t rounds
.
Weighted Back Rack Jump Squats: Perform with a barbell on back. Begin with feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Squat to 3/4 depth.. Explosively jump straight up getting both feet off the ground. With control, land fully on both feet with hips back and chest and head up. Focus on landing properly for each rep.
Weighted Box/Plate Jumps: Using dumbbells (25lbs/15lbs) jump up and onto 12” box or plates. Step off box and reset for each jump (no rebounding).

Run Workout
.
100m – 200m Accelerations
Intervals of 100m, 110m, 120m, 130m, 140m, 150m, 160m, 170m, 180m, 190m, 200m
Pace increases from mile speed down to 400m speed as intervals get longer.
Walk back to start of next interval for rest.
.
Track Workout Details: I got this acceleration workout from Joe Vigil, US Nat’l Team and Olympic coach. “Because maximum velocity at VO2 max for most athletes corresponds very closely with race ability, we use that figure (mile time at VO2 max) to determine training paces. Start workout at mile speed and end workout at 400m speed.”
Acceleration Workout Calculation
- Mile time: 5min or 300sec or 75sec/400m or 19sec/100m
- 400m time: 60 Seconds or 30sec/200m
Acceleration Workout Formula
Take your 400m speed for 200m (30sec) and subtract your mile speed for 100m (19sec).
30sec – 19sec = 11sec
11sec ÷ 10 = 1.1sec
Acceleration factor of 1.1 seconds
Example: 100 to 200m Acceleration Workout Target Times
100 – 19.0
110 – 19.0 + 1.1 = 20.1
120 – 20.1 + 1.1 = 21.2
130 – 22.3
140 – 23.4
150 – 24.5
160 – 25.6
170 – 26.7
180 – 27.8
190 – 28.9
200 – 30.0
Total Workout = 1650m
