We just wrapped up the high school season here in Colorado last weekend.
The week prior was our conference championship meet, and only a small portion of our team was tapering for conference champs. Most were tapering for the upcoming state meet the following week – this workout was geared towards those individuals who weren’t fully tapered quite yet, but we did want them rested a little for the conference meet.
Lots of rest during this set. Some quality efforts, but all intensity is balanced with a nice rest interval or active recovery. In the middle of the main sets, we do break out the distance guys from the sprint guys. Each group had their own workout there in the middle before regrouping.
