How do most college distance programs plan their training for the year? Do most kind of downplay indoor track and work more on base building, or do they try and peak 3 times a year and only use the summer for base? Is it necessary to downplay indoors?
Just give some insight to someone who doesn't know.
from page 2
depends
coaches who are concerned about athletes downplay indoors.
If you were to peak for an indoor season, then you would have about 10 weeks or so to regroup for outdoors and try and peak again. I would never expect someone to peak twice that far apart. Basically, you're peak times are gonna be Early/Mid May and Early/Mid November. Both of these peaks come at the end cycles that are about 24 weeks long.
