Thank you so much, Mr. Shepherd! This conversation was incredibly insightful. I do have a variation-related question, if you don't mind me asking. During my autumn season, I play soccer in Maine (USA), and our coach puts us through a workout that hits a wide range of exercises rather than honing in on a specific type. It usually involves running 2 miles (3200 meters) immediately followed by tire lifting, agility ladders, jump roping, and hill sprinting. We do these in the morning 2-3 times a week. Do you think this combination could be beneficial for reactivity, or do you think the distance running/tire lifts would focus too much on a slow-twitch type of reaction? I'd love to know your thoughts, but I understand if you are busy.
Hi, thanks for the question and sorry for the late response. It really is a case of undulating the distances sprinted depending on what event the athlete does and the time of the year. I deal mainly with long jumpers - so we don't go much above 60m as a sprint with lots of run-ups, fly 20m and 30ms and variables over 60m and 50m (these are sprint-float-sprint). I vary the intensity of these and the other runs too - so, the runs may be done at 100% or 95%, for example. Holding back a little there, pushing on a little more there - if that makes sense. So, I guess it's more of the latter of your suggestions - although with a slightly tighter bandwidth. Hope that makes sense. As it turns out the next Coach-Athlete members video will go into a little more detail - in overview how I undulate training load (intensity and volume) across the training year.
I will think about doing one. I could ask Colm to see whether he would like to pull one together (he's the guy that runs the Track & Field Performance podcast. Glad you enjoyed this one.
Great video, Coach. It staggers me how many British coaches and athletes (some of whom represent Britain) are still of the 'hammer the 300s until you vomit' mentality (and I was guilty of that myself). I have stolen many things from you, Jonas Dodoo, Dan Pfaff, Tony Holler, John Garish and Kneesovertoesguy, and my athletes have never enjoyed training so much or performed as well. Brilliant stuff, Coach.
Many thanks, and thanks for listening to/watching the video … Yes, that mentality that blasting someone is good baffles me. Okay, for some events eg 400m some pain is necessary but I still think athletes could probably run faster if there was a bit more quality and recovery many coach’s programmes too. You hit a nail on the head too - training has to be enjoyable and specific! Keep up the good work.
You're one of my favorite coaches and I agree with almost everything you say

Thanks John for another great content!
I would like to ask, whether you would change the distance for running/sprints across different seasons (e.g.

I like the podcast.Can you do one on "everything tripplejump"

Are you sure that "drilled" is the right word?
Sorry, I meant, Are you sure that "grilled" is the right word?
