Current split:
Monday: Top Speed & Explosive Force
Goal: CNS stimulation and max velocity (100m focus).
Monday Morning (Willy’s Track): Max Velocity
Warm-up: Dynamic drills (A-skips, B-skips, Prime times) + 3x30m build-ups.
Fly 20s: 3–4 runs. (20m build-in at 90%, then 20m at 100% effort). Rest: 4–5 mins.
Speed Endurance: 2 x 150m @ 95% effort. Rest: 8 mins.
Monday Afternoon (Gym): Power Output
Banded Hack Squat: 4 x 5 reps. Focus on a controlled 2-second descent and an explosive upward drive to fight the band tension.
Heavy RDLs: 3 x 6. Focus on a slow stretch of the hamstrings.
Tib Raises + Calf Raises: 3 x 15 (as a superset).
Wednesday: Special Endurance (The 400m "Fix")
Goal: Learn to maintain speed when the "burn" (lactic acid) hits.
Wednesday Morning: Special Endurance (The 400m "Fix")
Morning (Track): Event Specificity
The "Split 400": 1 x (300m + 100m).
Run 300m at your 400m race pace.
Rest exactly 60 seconds.
Sprint the final 100m all-out.
Recovery: 15 minutes full rest/walk.
Finish: 1 x 200m at 95% effort.
Note: This replaces your 600s. It is significantly more intense and trains the specific "gassing out" phase of the 400m.
Wednesday Afternoon (Gym): Single-Leg Power
Keiser Bulgarian Split Squat: 3 x 6 per leg. (Keep using the Keiser here for that smooth power tracking).
Keiser Quad Extensions: 3 x 10.
Tib Raises: 3 x 20.
Friday: Acceleration & Intensive Tempo
Goal: Improve the "start" for both events and build a "buffer" for the 400m.
Friday Morning (Track): Acceleration & Capacity
Sled Pulls: 4 x 30m (Heavy/Moderate). Focus on driving the ground away behind you.
40m Sprints: 4 x 40m (Unresisted). Focus on a low, powerful "piston" drive.
Intensive Tempo: 3 x 200m @ 85% effort. Rest: 3 mins.
Note: These 200s replace the 600s to build aerobic capacity without ruining your sprint mechanics.
Friday Afternoon (Gym): Heavy Posterior Load
Heavy RDLs: 4 x 5. (Your main hamstring strength builder for the week).
Banded Hack Squat: 3 x 8. Use slightly lighter plates but keep the bands for velocity. Knee Sleeves and Weightlifting Belt.
Tib Raises + Calf Raises: 3 x 15.
I wanna do rhe weighted step machine and heavy RDLS 3x a week.
Friday go in with Full Wraps
I wanna do a do over on the Squatmax MD, I know its tough to reach depth but if you load it with bands it may be easier to reach a parallel depth.
But even if I do do SquatMax I’ll def do Keiser Leg Extensions on the same day.
Friday Afternoon:
Calf raises on the Keiser Leg Press
RDL first not heavy but just to get Hamstrings and Back worked.
The going into Hack Squat so in With Full Wraps.
Notes:
On Monday and Wednesday mornings, do not rush your sets. If you aren't recovered, you aren't training speed; you're training "slow."
