Base season has been going very well so far. I've enjoyed being able to do my sessions away from the track but will be happy when I can stop doing 2min tempo reps. Anything over a few seconds is 'long' for sprinters. Having a strong strength component in 4 sessions each week has been tiring, especially right after my off season, and my body is ready for the easy week I have coming up. I feel like I've improved my basic work capacity and after this recovery week the next 3 weeks will get a lot harder. For those interested in what I've been doing here's the progression:
My rest between plyo is 30 seconds, walk back rest for lunge walks, jog back rest for hills. Both hills and tempo are each done twice per week. Plyo goes with hills, circuit exercises go with tempo. Single leg calf raises are all done off a stair or curb to get full range of motion and are controlled on the way down. Tempo runs are 2min, 680m reps on grass with a slow up hill and brief, steep downhill.
