lol You should have came. I was supposed to run the 200 tonight but it got rolled over till tommorrow. check your pm box

Are you racing Sat or Sun?

Im running the semis and finals sunday of the 100. And If i feel good I will jump in the invite 1 or 2. Im am happy you didnt come to this meet. As we lined up for the 100 prelim the fucking starter was rusjing us and didnt even let us get a run out. Then the terrible blocks they gave me moved. I had a terrible start but I made up enough ground to make the semi. For $10 thats the type of bull shit you get. But it is a fun meet.

Damn, what was your time?

Fuckin 11.4. But the times have been slow at this meet sice they resurfaced the track 2 years ago. About 5 years ago on the old track I pr’d at this meet. 10.34. Today my boy ran the 100. He just ran 10.3 twice his last meet. today. 10.89. lol

Cmon, you guys have nice weather and a nice tailwind.

Your training look random, what kind of progression are you following with your speed work etc?

Right now Im doing my gpp. 7 weeks this is my second week. I will be on the hills for about 3 more weeks before I start sleds and some track work accelleration.

Looks intense. How do these volumes compare to the volume you’ve done in prior GPP work?

Why the jump from 20m hills to 50m hills in such a short time period? What’s the point of going from hills to sleds?
