  1. Training the Multi Event Athlete By Seth Mischke Head Track and Field Coach Black Hills State University

  2. Commonalities • First things first………………find common training traits with the events (drills, physiological systems needed, etc….) • Speed, speed endurance, strength, special endurance • Have something to work on in warm-up for off-event/s each day (great place to stay in touch)

  3. Weekly Set-Up (sprinter/jumper) • Monday – speed development/light technical drills as part of warm-up for jump/weights • Tuesday – technique day for a jump • Wednesday – medium to strong circuit/weights (mostly recovery day) • Thursday – light technical jump day w/speed endurance work • Friday – pre-meet work, approaches, blocks, but not many of either really • Saturday – COMPETE, TRAIN, LEARN!

  4. Rotation of Events • Coach and athlete have to be okay with maybe not training all events every week (tough mentally to get a handle on sometimes) • Sometimes it’s better, depending on event, to train it every other week from a technical standpoint • Give the body time to absorb ideas • Competition simulation (changing shoes, hustling from one event to another?)

  5. Overtraining? • Concept needs to be understood in every event (it can happen differently in different events) • More ways to get hurt (communicate and listen to athlete?) • Very easy to fall into trap of training every day without real and/or quality REST

  6. Over-Analyzing • Reps are great, but quality reps are better • Let the “natural” come out in the athlete, don’t train/talk it out of them (less brain, more athlete) • No when to say when • “Just one more coach” can be one too many • Mental ability to focus and make changes from one rep to the next is imperative with shortness of season
