This was pretty easy workout overall, as I was to run in a meet on Friday, August 13th, so there wasn’t much volume or distance involved.
This was the day that Ku2u#2 came down and worked out, so it was cool to watch what he’s running like. He wanted to be at 7.00 in the 60m, and he ran around 7.05, so he is totally on target I think. If he does a nice 7 to 10 day taper, gets the therapy as needed, he will be flying and totally go under 7.00 on his tryout day. I don’t think he was too thrilled with his 150m time, but reading his journal it’s pretty clear he’s been focusing on accelerations, so that’s no big deal.
We had an enormous rain delay today, which was kind of a good thing. Everyone was soaked, and once the lightning came out, it was time to pack it in and go eat some lunch at Magnolia Cafe, which gave us a chance to chat. Kyle is really knowledgeable about how to put a program together and seems to have excellent street smarts for what’s good and what’s fluff, and he’s only 19. He’s going to make an amazing coach someday when he’s done running!
Basically, we had just warmed up when the rain hit, so we came out about an hour later, warmed up again, and got the work in. I felt quite flat in the accels and the 20 fly’s, but it may have been a result of the deep tissue work Frank did on Tuesday. He really got in there, and I probably hadn’t bounced back yet.
Overall, this was a really fun day. Kyle is coming down on Monday again, so that should be cool.
Thanks man, it was great seeing your training and progression with Frank. I heard you ran a 150m in 17.59 in your training the other day, looks like the special endurance sessions are paying off! I’ll be down early tomorrow probably, going to get some light thearpy for the workout, eat lunch and let digest, then get the workout started.
RB34, the times were handtimed by the Coach.
