DJ-
This stuff looks awesome. Thank you so much for sending this to me. Speed is my weakness so I'll really go by your suggestions.
Thanks again

Good morning Chris & Deca
Speed is "number one" it can and will add points with just a small "fix". A small speed fix can add 30/40 points quickly to 6 events. That’s 180/240 point bump in a decathlete....
The daily and yearly training plans are tried and sound… not only from my own experience but I have "borrowed" every note I could get from Tennessee and Bill Webb , retired Coach that had the best of the best.
The charts I have included can be used in so many ways with huge results.
For example the Speed Chart.. can be used by putting a "grid" on the track with 5 lanes marked with "progressive" steps in chalk or cones. I only mark 14 strides and repeat those at each level until I stretch. One I stretch I don't move to the next long stride lane, I work on that level until I improve my "frequency". Also the speed "grid" is the same progressive stride lengths that are used in the acceleration phase of the long jump, pole vault and Javelin. Those progressive steps are added to the "MID" mark charts I have to PV-LJ. A decathlete has the worst time on the pole vault runway, world class speed and many times "beginning" vault technique. I train them by my Six Stride "MID" Chart. Keeping the "MID" to Grip (physics-the only part of the chart that "FORCES the athlete to have to run correctly) very proportionate on ALL drills and jump sessions.
The 110 Hurdle "Step Chart" is the exact steps for 8 steps to the first hurdle and for the 3 steps in between. I always set cones for each step when I practiced hurdles… sprint them with the hurdle set very low or with a foam pad on the hurdle. During my College career I dropped my time from 15.1 as a freshman to 14.1 as a senior, I'm 5-9. I ran 14.3, 14.5 and 14.5 in my the decathlons.
Take care and have fun
