Power/Speed

(Fall 2009 Training Schedule)

The speed/power program is a year-round program meant to improve the speed and power of an athlete in the different areas of track and field. This program is optimal for athletes interested in training for sprints, jumps, throws or combined events. Although this program is athlete dependent, an athlete training in this program can generally expect to meet for practice three times a week and weight lift two times a week.

At the beginning of the season the speed/power program concentrates on a base program building the athlete’s general fitness and strength. The program then moves into a more specific stage, which deals more with the athlete’s speed development and technical style for his/her particular event. As the year moves on and competition dates become denser the program shifts into a competition stage at the end of which the athlete peaks for their individually most important competition of the year.

Athletes in the speed/power program can expect to compete in indoor and outdoor track and field meets around western Canada, eastern Canada or beyond depending on the level and needs of the individual athlete.
