| More on Pietro Mennea’s Detailed Training Workouts Posted: 25 May 2010 09:00 AM PDT 
Last week's article on Pietro Mennea's Detailed Training Workouts for 200 meters brought some good discussion on super high volume, medium intensity training methods. In all fairness, I will present the final week of training prior to his 7 day taper period. I will only focus on track workouts and times, which will give you a good indication of his fitness and speed endurance for his 200 meters and 4×400m relay. All I can say is.. it worked for him! Note his workout on Wednesday July 16. Now, this is a true speed endurance session as he's going 95% max with full rest periods. These are the workouts I like to see, but usually with a volume of 500 meters. Sat July 12, 19802×80m (3 min rest, 10 min between sets), 2×100m (4 min rest, 12 min between sets), 2×150m (8 min rest, 15 min between sets), 2×300m (15 min rest) (Total volume = 1260m)
Wed July 16, 1980100m-100m-150m-250m full recovery (15, 20, 22 min between runs) (Total volume = 600m)
Fri July 18, 198030m starts, 100m, 300m (20 min break between 100 and 300) Sat July 19, 19803×150, 1×250 (8-10min rest between 150s, 16 min between sets) (Total volume = 700m)
Sun July 20 to Sat July 26, 19807 day taper period. The book does not go into detail here. Sunday July 27, 1980200 meter heats and QF Monday July 28, 1980200 meter Semi and Finals Copyright © 2010 by Speedendurance.com. All Rights Reserved.        |
