Re: Your training structure suggestions

That is a pretty good structure! Maybe look at a 7 day cycle of Strength, Speed, Special Endurance, Strength, Speed, Special Endurance, Rest. Also structure your weeks of training about 3 weeks of hard training, 1 week easy (more skill/ event training)


Good Luck,

Depends on what level of decathlete you are. If you are a newbie, there is a chance you could continue to build more skill all the way up to your decathlon. Trey is right though, all the work is done. 5-7 days out you don't want to do much beyond a warm-up and you want to avoid activities that will create fatigue or soreness. Don't underestimate the amount of rest you need before a decathlon (probably biggest mistake made by decathletes) Do an active wm-up that will get you a good sweat, lace up the spikes and run a 40, 50, 60 and shut it down. The last week you should leave the track everyday feeling good and never tired.
