LAPRAAC TRACK AND FIELD TEAM

News Post New Entry

New season starting

Posted by Chuck Williams on December 29, 2009 at 2:14 AM

We had a strong competitive 2009 season  earning over 100 medals for the season ending with Vancouver, Canada.   URRAH!!!

 

2009 post season training is ending and early 2010 season training is starting.  Those of you who are planning to compete in indoor meets should train in your pre-competitve phase for spring indoor meets.  All others are transitioning from off-season to pre-season outdoor training phase.

 

Now is the time to survey all equipment and place orders for needed items.  Plot your calendars for upcoming meets, make lodging and travel arrangements.  Do check calendar tab for events.  Events are added daily.

 

Remember, start all 2010 spring training effort below the effort level of what you believe you can produce because you are responding to last season's tempo and muscle memory.  Muscle memory is there, but your conditioning is not at the level of your last competition.  So, progressively work yourself  into challenging workouts avoiding soft tissue injury which are always a threat during your first few workouts.  If it hurts at this point, don't push it, or fight through the pain.  Pain at this point is no gain.  Complete your conditioning workouts feeling like you can do more.  It is ok to take time away from working out if you experience injury.

That is what I'm talking about. I have my returning sprinters trying to train like the way they left off when they ended the 2009 season. I explained to them that we are in a GPP phase and building toward SPP phase to make sure we continue to see gains. This is a tuff message to swallow for young kids who want to run a 100m or 200m like if they were already olympic track athletes.
