Decided to get back into sprinting recently after a break up, and after finding my current training plan getting a bit stale (after doing the same thing consistently for the last three years) I wanted to try something different.
So I’m curious if anyone else is into this discipline? And if so what other training they do around it/for it? How they find it, tips, tricks, things to watch out for etc?
I’m still mulling over how my weight training plan will work around it. Previously trained 4 times a week, with 30-45 minute HIT sessions.
But now as going to the track twice a week, and finding the DOMS make me feel like I’ve been hit by a bus, I’m thinking that I’m probably going to cut back to a twice week upper/lower body split somewhat akin to “one set” DC Training (see below), while incorporating some Oly lifts, and plyo, and then do some lower intensity conditioning workouts (probably on the bike) the rest of the time.
Upper movements:
- Bench press
- Cleans
- Barbell OHP
- Lat raises
- Weighted dips
- Pullover machine
- Lat pulldown, or chin-ups
- Explosive snatch grip high pull
- RDL’s
- Pec deck, and stretch
Lower movements:
- Front squats and cleans to warm up
- Hamstring curl, or RDL’s
- Leg extensions
- Lying leg press to failure
- Standing calf raise
My sprint workout is currently:
- Extensive warm up and stretching
- 10 metre sprint
- 30 metre sprint
- 10 metre sprint
- 30 metre sprint
- 4 x 100 metres.
- cool down.
