Training the Multi Event Athlete
BySeth Mischke
Head Track and Field Coach Black Hills State University
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)
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!
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?)
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
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
