National Championship 100m & 200m | Operation Oregon²² #11 

That's because of the American preparation, they train for the Trials and National Championship and that's a couple months before the Olympics

@@nicolasvalera1496 ye thats a good point, they have to peak for 2 different competitions just to qualify but they are also on PEDs, much easier for them to maintain or improve performances whilst for anyone natural, peaking for a race that involves cutting volume more than twice or three times a year will be the max. Anymore and you will almost certainly under perform

@@killiancurran5143 wow, really? is it confirmed, how do you make out if someone is on PEDs? i am aware about the prevalence of substances in athletics, but its never talked about or revealed by anyone.

@@killiancurran5143 nobody is on PEDS, I could make the lame excuse that other countries are on PEDS for some recent surge in speed that wasn’t expected 😂.

Had to do that in my younger days. Very good advice!

Why did you stop competing?

Hypertrophy is not something I aim for in my training. When I do strength training I mostly do explosive work, and If I lift heavy I only do about 3x3 lifts. I do have a tendancy to easily gain weight anyways. When looking at my sprint times, there is no correlation in lower weight and faster times, though I don't exclude that from being relevant in the future. I believe the optimal weight is different for each athlete, and power to weight ratio might be the most important factor in considering that.

Thank you!

I shared this with my channel members a month ago actually. I ran 49 races in 2021. I had 50 individual in 2016 and 2017, but back then I was running youth champs which included more relaxed races, and also indoor champs which we didn't have this year. Considering that, this season was a packed one. I wrote on my Instagram after the Nationals; I might have learned the disadvantage of not "picking one's battles" this season. I believe competitions usually is the best speed stimuli for myself but might have overdone it a little bit in August this year.

@@hovejoha Damn dude- 50 races is a massive amount. I'd say half of that is even too much. But you know your body best ✌

@@emilstorgaard9642 ​ It is quite a bit indeed, and might be something to reconsider going forward for me. I don't think 25 should be considered too much for a developing athlete though. Let's say an Indoor national champs has 5 races in a weekend. Outdoor Champs has 6. A junior or international championship and on top of that is 6 more. We're now at 17 races, and that's only across 3 weekends, we still have 49 weeks left. Three weekends of 100-100-200, and we're at 26 races, I don't think that is too much in a year. Of course it is different for everyone, and 10 races might be enough for some, but I believe one should compete more than that (if you're healthy) to get good at competing. Also worth to note that 3x 60m might not be more draining than 1x 200m. De Grasse ran 23 individual races this year, only one of them indoors though. Bromell ran 28 individual races. 20-30 might be a number to aim for, but one needs to remember that these guys usually don't get to the start line just for some good speed-training or to just have a warmup/test race.

@@hovejoha We in a small russian town had 6-8 races since the pandemic started

From a physiological standpoint you’re body needed real TLC not just an easy week or less volume during training . Racing 50 times in one season to hit certain times is outrageous. Your body was beginning to burn out and you were overtraining it. I know as an competitor we want to go go all the time but sometimes simply a proper resting protocol when the numbers not adding up. I want to see you compete at world champs but the way you’re going to get there if you give your body some time to recover and heal up fully. Your fitness showing that you’re 20.6/ 10.4 shape you just have to rest the lamborghini for a while and easy back into it.

I have the black and white myself. I like them both, and am considering getting the navy blue as well hehe.

The 30m distance is correct, but as you say it seems fast, this is because I'm having a 60cm "flying" acceleration before the timing starts in this video. In other videos where I'm around 3.85-4.05s I'm timing from the moment my thumb leaves the ground. Thanks!

I don't think it is a bad idea to take a couple of days of if you're feeling very tired. Especcialy towards the end of the season. But it will depeond a little on the circumstance, the level of the athlete, and their adaption to volume.

Indeed. I have set a lot of PR's this year and for that I am greatful. I have gone many years not coming close to the progression this year. Going forwards it will be important to get pleasure from the little improvements, be that technique, execution, strategy, or mindset. It's important to see the learning in each race as a win in itself eaven when it does not end in the hoped end result.

I would not be able to finish a single one of their sessions lol

About 178cm

@@hovejoha Nice and tall

Indeed I think you're right in some of your thoughts here, thanks for sharing! Fun fact; here in Norway we use the German word "besserwisser" for "all-knowing-asshole", you don't strike me as one though. And I might have to find myself a gf if that actually means higher testosterone as you say, haha :D

@@hovejoha bro Im german. Never knew thats a thing in norway. Good to know hahaha

@@hovejoha bro you look awesome and have a fucking interesting life. Find a girl to have fun with. Best recovery method known to man. I even tested and confirmed that.

@@svenschroeder4344 Thank you haha, we'll see ;) Thought you might be German because of your name!

@@hovejoha WHAT? I thought you had one!!! ;)

Indeed my fastest 200m was in the maxfly (before they punctured), but I'm not 100% convinced yet. They might help up to 0.1s/100m for some though.

Cold baths slow recovery down

I do

He would have run 10.45 with Nike Maxfly and been up there in the goldfight, Ventsislav be more humble.

Welcome!
