  • We caught up earlier this spring with Michael Norman, Rai Benjamin and Coach Quincy Watts on the campus of USC as the two tackled some 350m reps as part of a recovery week in their training block.
    Michael Norman will be contesting the men's 400m this upcoming weekend at the USATF L.A. Grand Prix.
    The Workout:
    Rai - 2x350m at 85%
    Michael - 2x350m at 85%, 1x300m

    Quincy is a legend. I thought his Barca semi final performance ( though slower than his final time ) was super impressive and easy: looked like if he had put the hammer down, he could have run 43:2/3.

    FloTrack, you have a competitor in "Track All-Access". Their videos are so much more high quality than your videos, including a timer on the screen for the reps. Also your title says 300m reps when they are clearly doing 350m reps.
    Look we appreciate you making these videos and giving us access to the pros, but when you guys charge so much for your membership and pretty much buy out all other emerging competitors in the track media industry, we as track fans just expect more from you. More effort and more thought and care into your product.

      He explained after the third rep. MN has a tendency to not be patient and always want to jump the gun at times. He wanted Rai to control the pace so mike can learn patience and also be uncomfortable with being patient; so he can learn. That’s why he let Mike lead the first so Rai can be uncomfortable because he’s comfortable at being patient. Mike also has a quicker pace. He showed Mike that when he went to pass Rai, he was a bit more tired on the last. Again, showing him to be patient. Had he sat, he would’ve executed the last one much better.
