We have a championship meet for our age groupers this weekend. We are going to go through a small (VERY SMALL because they are age groupers) quick taper (3 days) leading into this weekend. Here is what we did today to focus on race specifics/race details in short speed burst situations.


Our main set was 3,450yards with intervals that kept things moving along but were not very challenging.

    200 smooth
    8x50
        #1-#2 = blast the breakout (to 12 1/2)
        #3-#4 = blast the finish (final 12 1/2)
        #5-#6 = blast both  (1st and last 12 1/2)
        #7-#8 = whole 50 fast
