Let me know what you guys think if im working my legs to hard, and if so what should i do the days that i want to take it easy on the running?
working solely on speed and acceleration everyday wont let you progress very much. speed training activities drain ur CNS quickly, id have a day off somewhere inbetween those session, or take away one of those sessions.
so, maybe take wendsday off? And just stretch out and **** wendsday? Would doing hard workouts monday tuesday, thursday and friday be fine? Any imput would be great.
Hm why is everyone jumping to answer this for me? (sarcasm)
Of course you can work your legs too hard running. The workouts you are doing look pretty hard. Only you can tell what your body can handle. You have a lot of the same stuff over and over, try to change it up a little bit to keep your body guessing. For a lot of people that sprint workout would would be too much. For you it might not be enough. But like I said only you can tell how your body fells. If your overtraining your body will tell you. Your workout looks pretty good. Go own how your body feels.

aight thanks, that was the problem, my body felt good to run 5 days a week. All i would have to do was stretch and stuff cause i would be tighter then usual but once i stretched and maybe did 10 minutes of yoga and dynamic flexing, i was totally fine. Yeah i switch it up often i usually do the same stuff for liek 2 weeks then change most of the stuff aroudn
