Yeah, I've read TB conditioning and TB 2.BlackPyjamas wrote:What conditioning protocol are you running? Have you read TB2? What you're doing isn't really enough.

Maybe I'm missing it in your log but it seems like all you're doing are short sprint/track workouts. That's a recipe for poor test times imho. Short sprint workouts should be added on like spice, they shouldn't be the main course.
My 2 cents.... do at least one 3 mile tempo run every week + 1 longer run for distance (30-60 minutes). When you have those out of the way then add in a third track workout like 600m resets or 200m intervals.
Even though your PFT run is a short distance (1km? 1.5mile?) it's still aerobic in nature.
Thanks
You need one long run every week (45-60 minutes).
You need one middle distance fast run every week, like the Fast5.
You need one anaerobic speed workout every week, like 600m resets, Oxygen Debt or short hill sprints.
Every week, not every other week.
You'll see something like the above recommended on the forum everytime PFT is brought up...and as someone that has to run PFTs regularly I concur.
Unless you can run 1km in 2 minutes or less, it's primarily an aerobic event.
I'm doing black protocol, you can see my schedule at the OP.
I'm doing black professional with a little tweak on the E session per week, as I got told on this thread when I asked about my PFT before starting my training.
So now I'm bit confused
