6x150. Man these was some slow 150’s. one more fast workout then I can get some much needed therapy.

When will you start competing?

I had planned to start this past saturday but I had to go out of town. There is a meet in gainsville on this sunday but if I cant find anyone to role with me to split the costs I will not be going. So it looks like my first meet wil be in February.

RACE, can’t be that much to travel to UF…

I did a speed end day.
2x30 bs 2x60 bs 2x80 stand

It was a decent day. legs were a pretty beat up. I was able to get under 4 in the 30 and 6.90 in a 60. I feel like I can go much faster but I need some therapy. Legs are super tight. I got a massage the next day.

I didnt hit the weights because I was beat.

Well I just drove 4 hours up to see my grandparents. Just got back. Had to give my sister some cash. Gotta pay mortgage soon. Gville is a good 5 hours from me. Dont like putting all those miles on the car week after week.

Get hood with it, take greyhound…:slight_smile:

Shit that would add a extra 5 hours on the trip.

I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t drive 5hrs either.

1/29 therapy

How did the therapy session go today? The hammy and groin still isn’t 100% but I got some serious therapy on Wednesday so I’m hoping I can let one go tomorrow.

It was good. I got a guy who does some serious stretches. He stretches me out for like an hour. It is hard to explain but it haves me feeling great about 2 days after. check out his site http://www.miamiflex.com/.
What did you do after your therapy. I like to do tempo the next day to get my legs back

60mins of therapy follow by 5x200 then speed on Thursday.

you should be good. how you feel

It’s gonna take several sessions to loosen up my pectineus muscle and the hamstring is weird. We will see how things go tommroow, I’m probably done with the indoor 200.

Felt good today. It was cold out so that didnt help. I have been off of creatin for about a week and I feel less tight and lighter.
Times were ok nothing special. 4.0 for 30, 5.0 for 40 and 6.03 for 50. I wanted to go under 6 for 50 but it wasnt to happen. I have been working on driving to damn near 50m. I dont come up into transition until about 40-45. I know this race pattern may not yeild great indoor times but for the 100 it may be something special.
