Post subject: | Help to build a pentathlon training program |
Hello, I have recently made the decision to take up masters track after aprox 17 years. I did some random training before doing a pentathlon a couple of weeks ago but really need some help to develop a program. I live in a small town that has a track but no coaching or track clubs at all. 2011 Pentathlon marks Mens 35-40 LJ-5.69m Javelin-44.29m 200m-26.97 disc-36.70 1500m-5:42 I also high jumped 1.75m I really want to improve my marks and compete in the World masters regions in St. John N.B next year. I want to begin training come september but really have no clue on how to build a training program. There is almost too much info on line, I am looking for something someone has done and got some results from it. Any help would be great. 2012 pent goals LJ-6.00m + Javelin-50m+ 200m-25 sec - Disc-40m+ 1500m-5.00 min- |

Hey Mike, I am absolutely looking for some ideas, have any? I was a decathlete but have been out of the game for quite some time. I want to build a program to run from Sept thru Aug, to peak in Aug. I am thinking that I need to break it up into segments. Build a good base with endurance and core work, then speed endurance, speed into april/may? I have set some lofty goals for myself so advice on how to get there is golden. Thanks |

I'm very new at the pentathlon, so my training is more to do with learning skills than refining skills but maybe this will help. Last summer I trained for pent and my coach set up my training this way: 2 days technique, speed/acceleration, strength, plyos 1 day of recovery w/hills & big warm up [mobility exercises with jogging/skipping etc] 2 days of intervals, circuits Technique days usually hurdles/LJ one day and HJ and shot other day but I don't think it really matters there. He always said do hurdles first (but that's a new event for me). Two weeks on and one week recovery (3 workouts only) Hope this helps. |
