Youth athletics run

The DLV framework training plan for running and walking disciplines in developmental training prepares young athletes step by step for peak athletic performance in adulthood over the long term. This is the objective of the "Youth Athletics" series and thus of the present volume on running and walking disciplines. Building on the necessary theoretical foundations, it first addresses general, cross-disciplinary aspects. Subsequently, the individual stages of athletic training in the disciplines of middle distance, long distance, steeplechase, and race walking are comprehensively explained and supplemented with practical training content for 15 to 19-year-olds. A focus is placed on training planning and periodization: in addition to guidance on structuring a training and competition year, it is the numerous exemplary weekly training plans that distinguish this standard work.
