some microstreching (i didnt finish yesterday)
notes:
-i went to the mall yesterday to restock on my supplements, so for the month of november (or at least til thanksgiving) i will be drinking a protein or wegihtgainer/creatine shake and taking a multivit when i wake up, sometimes a creatine shake an hour pre work out or so, and a weightgainer/creatine shake postworkout, then zma before bed. i still have some protein powder left, but im switching to a massgainer because i seem to be stuck at 150 as far as weight, and i think being a little thicker would benefit me. plus having more carbs immediately postworkout should help recovery

c. 2x30 each x-band
c. wrist stretching
light stretch
notes:
-because of limited training time tomorrow, and the fact that lower weights takes me the longest, i switched lower weights to today and my core circuit to tomorrow
-i timed my last 30m blocks. ran a 4.16 (i taped it and a friend used computer software to time me from first movement through crossing the finish). this run didnt feel as good as the second one, but according to the time transferrer i used, that’s like a 6.5h 55m. if im at that point already, im pretty happy, since i want to run a 6.4h (also, i believe at this point last year my partner was handtiming me in the 4.1x-4.2x range, so that means ive improved by probably .2 just over 30!

notes:
-100 plyos is too many, i usually start seeing a decline in their quality around 50 so i plan on only doing 50 from now on
-doing lower weights and speed in the same day killed me, i will try to not have to double the two again

-the 40s felt shorter than ever! not sure whther this means im running that much faster, or whether im just more relxed, but either is good to me!

notes:
-my legs were WASTED. hopefully this means my speed sesh yesterday was very effective
-i notcied my depth was creeping up in squats so i refraned from upping weight and will see where i am at after the first set next squatting day
-hammy soreness was minimal (11/13), just barely felt any, so i think i can increase the rdl weight a bit
-ive stopped listing rest intervals because i simplified and have made them all 3’ except for between speed runs (1’ for every 10m, or 15’ and loss of nausea for longer runs(150m+))

notes:
-didnt feel awesome in the weightroom, may be a result of this being my usual offday, training earlier in the morning than usual or even lingering tiredness from thursdays workout. the rest of my saturday is to be very low energy, and sunday is off, so hopefully by monday everything will be running smooth again
-rolled my ankle while doing the tempo. feels a little sore, but with 2 days+ rest (the rest of today, sunday and til 2:30 on monday) hopefully a little icing will do the trick

-i taped one of the 60m runs through 55m, so ill have a time to post once i get it (6.93ish granted, last year i never ran sub seven in my training runs on the outdoor track, and proceeded to run a 6.92 during my first camera timed run so not sure what to think)

notes:
-i talked with the friend i trained with last year and looked at some more articles and such and decided that i need to start unloading. the fact that all my general strength stuff have gone up so much, but my sprint speed hasnt has told me two things 1. i should start putting more emphasis on the sprinting because thats the only thing that hasnt improved significantly yet 2. i likely have been overtraining. because of this, i am going to take all work on my legs and heavy cns work easy for the next week, which will bring me into my track season. because i am far enough above required strength standards and my season is long enough to reload for a unload at the end of the season, i am going to really lighten my workload to try and get my body to catch up to the training, then ill unload to december break. ill reload during late december and early/mid january, then taper for the improtant meets mid late feb

notes:
-making it through 250m was tough. wanted some speed today, but im trying to unload for a bit so i dont die during the season as i believe i have been overtraining for a while
-all lower lifts were with easy weights today. squats, rev hypers and calves were heavy enough to feel a burn but not close to failure. power cleans just for the form, and the stretching must be working a little as catching it was comfortable, granted it was very light

notes:
-first 55 rep i told myself to not try too hard, and it felt very very fast, faster than i wanted it to be. then the second rep i tried hard and it felt much slower. might have found how much i need to relax in my first rep
-300 felt suprisingly good, i made it all the way through without really dying

notes:
-the gym i used closed early for thanksgiving. probably actually a good thing because this was a very high volume running day for me so taking weights easy was necessary
-it was very cold and windy today, so my 400 time was crap, and it didnt even feel so great so im not going to worry about it. i didnt get a time on the 200, but it felt the fastest any of them has felt so far
-when doing blocks i adjusted my blocks to a steeper starting angle and surprisingly this fixed some of the flaws ive been having. go figure, its usually the opposite
-some pectoral soreness today, funny how a submax 5x5 makes me much more sore than a max 3x8, when its only one rep more
granted, last year i never ran sub seven in my training runs on the outdoor track, and proceeded to run a 6.92 during my first camera timed run so not sure what to think)
