The statement was made earlier this week, "I am seeing to many training programs that make conditioning the main focus and not enough speed training. What is the benefit?"
Of course if your not a sprinter then you will not benefit from the conditioning, and its not going to be a main concern. Sprinters focus on conditioning in the off season because they don't want to peak too earlier. They also have to allow their bodies some time to rest from the long, demanding stress that they put on their legs throughout the season.
Earlier I said that you wouldn't benefit from conditioning if you were not a sprinter. That was a false statement on my behave. Any athlete will benefit from conditioning. Depending on what type of athlete you are, will determine how much conditioning, if any, you will do in the off season. I recommend that every athlete should spend some time conditioning in the off season. It wont hurt you, if anything, it will help you.
