Fast Work: How Often
The general list.
Animal Husbandry
Talent
Athletic Conditioning For Performance And Injury Prevention
Race Strategy
Injury Prevention--a category unto itself
Misc.
#1 the principle of Synergy--that each part of the list is necessary for performance. Slack one/performance suffers.
For the moment, this one is being discussed:
Athletic Conditioning For Performance And Injury Prevention
and being discussed specifically with a eye to "training schematic" Want to come up with a training formula that will optimize performance. "What's our goal".
In developing a program these principles have been discussed so far:
Principle #1: Things to consider--stick to the program, horse willing/avoid adjusting on the fly.
Principle #2: The 4th rep is generally the strongest.
Principle #3: Faster is better
Principle #4: For improvement of muscular strength and hypertrophy observe the principle of "Right Balance of Load And TUT" (time under tension) or--max load held for slightly less than 60 seconds--note for the horse the term "load" means"speed". We increase load (weight) by increasing speed. "Right balance of load to time under tension (TUT) means, for horse, how far do we optimally carry the speed to achieve( in training) max muscle strength.
As this goes, a summary such as the above will be periodically posted. Again "the principles" will be posted as they occur to the blogger. Get right to the heart of the issue--how often do we do speed work, what do we do in between works, and when to rest?
Most of my training has involved breezing 5 or 6f every 4 days. For two straight months I tried the Preston Burch program of breezing every three days with one horse. I'm likely a qualified expert on breezing every 4 days. As to the every three day stuff--since I did it only for two months, and restricted the breeze work to 5f because that was where the horse was at, I know a lot about that program.
Since the blogger has done every 3 day or every 4 day speed work, is this the ideal interval? Next.
