Hello,
Here is what my new training schedule looks like now, under Andy's coaching. Everyday I am running and I am really learning to move so smoothly and with great confidence! We have worked a great deal on letting the tension go from my upper body and moving effortlessly from the shoulders, as I work hard off the ground and push with every step. Thanks to all the running, I have ample practice at this and it is really starting to pay out and I am feeling more and more confident to push myself in the running and really just allow my body to move, and it is feeling amazing; I have moments where I truly feel fast and excited at my potential for speed!

Outside of training, my days are still the same. Wake up, eat, go to training, come home, eat, sleep/nap, eat, go back to training, protein shake post training, come home, eat, eat, sleep! This is the life of an athlete!

Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering why gymnastics is part of your training? It is good that your training is going well

Hi Mackenzie,
ReplyDeleteGymnastics is great for training as it gives you a sense of your body. It helps for flexibility and sometimes, it can just be a fun exercise at the end of a hard week for us to play and relax.

Is there a way to communicate with via e-mail? I'm a coach my self and ex Decathlete. Right now I'm prepairing my first Heptathlit and she is 14 years old. I would love to exchange information regarding training so I would not "burn" her out.
ReplyDeleteE-mail me to robendeca@gmail.com if it's not too much of a trouble.

Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI am a sophmore in college and I am competing in the heptathlon . Last year I missed out going to Nationals by 60 points. I have great coaches, but they don't really know how to train a multieventer. I am really focused this year but I do not have any sort of training regime. Do you think that you could help me get together a rough workout schedule?
I would really appreciate any help I could get!
Thank you!
Kelly
Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI 15 years old and I am now starting to train for heptathlon. Since I am the first person in my club to do this event my coaches don't know how to train me. I tried making my own schedule but it is not working out. Would you be able to help me organize one?
Kafi :)
nice
