8) When training for a couple of events , Is it recomended to train for both one after the other ? Or one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Or , one event on one day and the other the next day ? I am talking about the Javelin and the Discus. ( 60 years old plus ). Not sure what the smart way to train is , Weights, throwing, recovery time. Any advice would be helpful...................................................thanks

I find it takes so much planning and organizing to get suitable practice FACILITIES for long throwing events, that you might as well do javelin and discus during the same workout session. The motion and muscle groups are somewhat different, so you shouldn't get "confused", or have one set of specific muscle groups too fatigued to switch over to the next event.

As far as strength training, probably any lower back-obliques-tricep exercises should help both events.

Keep throwing!!
