Athletic competition lasting two consecutive days in which contestants take part in 10 track-and-field events. It was introduced as a three-day event at the Olympic Games in 1912.
The decathlon is a combined event in athletics consisting of ten track and field events. Events are held over two consecutive days and the winners are determined by the combined performance in all. Performance is judged on a points system in each event, not by the position achieved. The decathlon is contested mainly by male athletes, while female athletes typically compete in the heptathlon.
Here, longtime coach Mario Sategna shares a modified version of Hardee's strength-and-conditioning plan. (Hardee does both the speed and strength workouts on the same day.) It's a four-week routine designed to be repeated back-to-back. Hardee will do as many as 12 weeks of this before moving on to his pre-competition training. For you, the plan is a base for stronger skiing and mountain biking and faster foot or bike races.
