Reverse Periodization Logic for Speed, Power, and Performance
|
|
The Core Mistake Most Programs Make
Most training plans begin with what is convenient today, not what is required when it matters most.
|
Week 1 becomes the anchor.
|
Championship week becomes an afterthought.
|
Reverse periodization flips that logic.
|
You start by defining what the athlete must tolerate, express, and repeat in the final week, then you work backward to build only what is necessary to support that outcome.
|
|

|
The First Question That Actually Matters
Before writing a single workout, answer this:
|
What must this athlete be able to do in championship week?
|
- Hit ≥98% max velocity on demand
- Maintain sprint quality with minimal drop-off
- Tolerate long rest, high neural output, low volume
- Execute under fatigue, pressure, and long competition days
- Feel fast, not tired
Everything upstream exists to make that week inevitable, not hopeful.

|
Reverse Periodization in Plain Terms
- Accumulate volume
- Add intensity later
- Hope it sharpens in time
- Define peak qualities first
- Identify what supports those qualities
- Remove everything that interferes
This is subtraction-first programming.

The Science of Anthropometrics and Sprinting
|
|
|
|
Anthropometrics do not determine whether an athlete can sprint fast, but they shape how each athlete creates speed. This post explains how height, limb length, torso proportions, body mass, and stiffness influence acceleration, max velocity, stride length, stride frequency, and sprint technique. Learn how to use body structure as a coaching map instead of forcing every sprinter into the same model.
