As promised, here is last week’s recording from our roundtable discussion (with Closed Caption, sub-titles, and multiple language translations, just in case):
In this video, Kevin Tyler (ALTIS), Mike Hurst (Fastrack 400) and myself discuss all things 400m, including:
Considerations for youth & developmental coaches, vs coaches of senior & Elite athletes
How do you consider the 400m event – Sprint vs Endurance? What are the Primary demands of the event, include Aerobic contribution in 400m performance?
How do you onboard a new athlete? The Assessment process?
Methodological considerations – various models – concurrent, long to short, short to long, etc. Differences in Aerobic component for Male vs Female, faster vs slower athletes 43 vs 49 sec vs 60 sec
What does a typical training week look like? Differences in Men & Women? Age Groups?
What does a typical training week look like in the training block PRIOR to the competition period? Leading up to Round Management?
Role of strength training in the 400m & Olympic lifting?
Q&A – on Recovery of CNS, to determine next session
Q&A – Transition question on the indoor “stacked 40” to outdoors SE1 & SE2 workouts (details on Tyler Christopher’s program)
At the 2 hour mark, we discussed this chart (which doesn't appear in the recording):
