FAQs
Who is this program for?
Anyone with a half decent base of training that wants to start focusing more on developing their athleticism. This block is designed to be completed AFTER phase I & II of sprint - lowers - uppers. If you've not done these, do them first!
What should I expect on an average training day?
You will be completing one of three different training session types: speed training (on a field), lower body strength or upper body strength. Each session should take approximately 60-minutes to complete.
How much communication will I get with a coach
The TrainHeroic app provides an easy-to-use chat function so you can direct message me any time you like with questions or even videos so you can get the most out of the program.
What if I can't train six days per week?
No problem at all. I recommend following the sessions in sequence and working through them to fit your own training schedule as needed. Four-to-five sessions per week is still plenty to make significant progress.
Can anyone start this program?
No. I recommend this program to intermediate/advanced trainees looking to take their training to the next level. This is NOT a beginner program. You will be expected to perform weighted chin-ups, power cleans (you don't need to be competent - but willing to learn) and plyometric exercises.
How long does this program last?
This is a four-week cycle. It can be repeated continuously or you can progress by working through the other phases in sprint - lowers - uppers.
I've got a history of hamstring injuries - should I be doing sprints?
Absolutely. Research tells us that the best way to mitigate the risk of hamstring strain injuries is regular and controlled exposure to sprint running. This program is perfect for developing resilient and fast sprinting athletes.
What sports is this program for?
Running-based field sports that require high-intensity accelerations and sprints, explosive strength and muscle mass for collisions. Mainly I use this program in the off-season with rugby (league and union), American football, Gaelic football, and Australian rules football players.
What facilities do I need access to?
A sports field - preferably with a consistent, firm surface and marked lines. A well-equipped functional training gym like a CrossFit box or strength and conditioning center. Often 24-hour Globo-gyms lack the required space, equipment and culture to facilitate the type of training in this program.
