why not run the 200m downwind? 
Mainly due to, i got my 1st race next weekend, at that track i was at, and wanted everything to be done the direction that the races will be, which happened to be windy and blowen into me face!! And, if its blowen the same direction next weekend, it gives me a slight advantage over those that only run with it, i hope?
Iâm guessing youâll be running 200, anything else?
Will be interested to see how you go. When was the last time you raced?
doing the 60, 100 and 300.
Tis been 6yrs since the last time i raced⌠And that was over 800m!
After so many yrs of mid distance work, i wont be expecting anything flash, even in the 300, its only been approx 2-3mnths since resuming running, and i need some more special endurance, 300 will be that bit too far at this stage, but i will give it a go. It was at least 4m head wind yest. and has been windy every day for weeks now. So i guess its more of, see how i go against other poeple?
easy steady 10mins aerobic work
some boxing easy work on speed ball and bag.
med ball circuit
explosive med ball throws 5 x squat throw n chase
5 x tripplings throw and chase
Nearly forgot to do EMS, but done them from about 10pm last night. Glutes, hammies and quads.
Damn it, i forgot sit up??
Am pissed. Turned up to the track, and a closed sign is up, along with a bunch of trucks and sea containers around the place. So i ask at reception, and it seems they are getting ready for a concert, U2 i believe? So they need to take up 2 ovals for the next 10days, both tracks closed. By the time i get back home, that been 2hrs in the car, including picking up the kids from school⌠:mad: :mad:
I was looking forward to training todayâŚ
What to do now? There is a grass oval nearby, but it i get there, that will be 5pm, and dark by 6, and it looks like rain? NO one to look after the kids for when it gets dark. Might just have to use the ellipital trainer of the misses and do plenty of explosive med ball drills?
10min on the elipital, tempo style
10efforts x 4sets off jumps onto was ledge, approx knee height
6 x squat throw and chase
6 x tripplings throw and chase
Big headace by last couple of throws.
Gave me a chance to work on plyroâs for a bit.
EMS tonight, glutes, hammies and quads.
Will do sit ups, Now.
No axcess to gym, but will have my own at home by Sunday! 200kg+ (i think) of weights.
I canât believe U2 didnât check with you first to ensure it was ok, how inconsiderate

No access to track, so had to improvise. Race on Sat Sun Tue, so

Hammies and glutes are heaps heigher in intensity volume than they were only 5days ago! Really cranking up the voltage on em.

The news are predicting storms tonight, lasting over the wkend. From tomorrow, is competition. Of course its storms, i am due to race, its my âgood luck charmââŚ
Thats ok, last wk i ran some Into the Head Wind efforts, so, it looks like it will pay off. Will be slow times all around, the winds today are pretty strong. So it makes it more about the racing.
The wind can help you if you handle it better than the others. Sometimes people try so hard to battle the wind that they donât run as efficiently as they normally do.
Good luck for tomorrow
THanks guys. i will attempt to maintain my technique, though i hope to maintain it more from due to a 1st race in 5-6yrs vâs a headwind⌠Though, being almost confident in a wind/rain environment, i just goto be confident to run relaxed during a short event against others? During Mid distance, i was suppreamly relaxed, asleep looking⌠But with these sprints, these short dashes, i have been struggling to maintain relaxation when just being filmed or timed??? I think, get a few races, learn to race again, to âsleepâ during the race and all should be good.
Bring on the wind, its getting really strong here by late afternoon.
Was poring with rain. 1st time out of blocks in about 2yrs. stuffed it good. came out right arm right foot??? What theâŚ
THen, as i started to get to speed, something was not right, i was running pigioned toeâd??? The water loged shoes and socks put my feet into a weird position, which stuffed me??? I cruised the last 20-30m of the 100.
Tomorrow, forcasts are for mostly fine. I better take a spare pair shoes just in case. 60m.
Also, untill about 1min to go, i was mentally fine, possably too relaxed? Then, i just started to panic?? I have been nervous before, thats fine, welcomed, But panacking? oh, well, get the 1st race out of the way, run crap, then it can only get better.
Bugger. What sort of time did you do?
Hope things go better for the 60 
Being pretty upset at how crap i ran yest, not one step i would consider any good, i made myself more mad before i ran the 60m today.
Today there was no rain, but the wind came back. NOt too bad, or anything to bother about.
Excellant reaction time. 1st 10m was perhaps = 1st. Better than Last yest. in the 100.
Had a lapse of concentration about 35m, was thinking about my tight hammies, i could only feel them at the uppermost leg raise, 5m later, i was back to full stride and driveing the arms.
Must have been a blacket finnish, apart from 1st, he was about 1.5m in front. I must have got outdipped, as i diidnt medal (i think i seen the right age group placegetters?). Couldnt imagin it being worse than 4th, as i could only see at most 2guys in front, 1 for sure, 1 maybe. Would have been interesting to see the photo finnish.
Will do some workout this arvo, push ups med balls ect.
Will have to finnish off with some Tens on the upper hammies.
Happy Birthday
Darn it, too many people are finding out.
perhaps i should start a comp phase thread, since i will be competing the next few wks???
