You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: great stuff Subject: RE: Sub 1:50 800m Training Body: Another coach who's system is fairly similar to this is Warhurst at Michigan. Basically, strides 2-3 days per week throughout the year, as well as hill sprints, hurdle drills, core work, and lifting throughout the year. Sprints in the fall to maintain speed, and good year round volume. Cross country in the fall with long hill repeats, tempo runs, and mile repeats, in the winter shorter tempo runs with some fast running afterwords, short hills (300m) followed by short intervals (400s usually) every week, and long repeats or long hill repeats. In outdoor, they start doing more pace work, for 800 a lot of 600m hard runs (like 200, 600, 4X300), for the 1500m a lot of 1200m time trials, reduce the amount of tempo running sharply, and lower the amount of hills and increase the amount of trackworkt in hill sessions (so instead of 8X300m hill, 4X400m track, something like 4X300m hill, 4X(400, 300) track(. I think in this system the year round strides and hill sprints are the key as they maintain speed in the off season, and the constant hills and weight lifting improce the fast twitch muscle capabilities. Usually 2-3 quality days a week as well as a long run of 20% of weekly mileage. This is the system that brought Willis to bronze in Beijing, and it is very effective for 800/1500m runners as well as being fairly similar to the system you described.
