I did this workout cause I have to go to my parents house to fix there pc. I then have to head to orlando on saturday to run. So i will be in the car for 2 roadtrips. wanted to make sure im loose. I was a lil tight before i worked out today. I felt great after.

You racing this saturday?

yep ucf. you running

Damn it man. Another disapointing meet. I ran the same time as last meet 11.3. I felt great. I dont remember much from the race. I felt I got good knee lift, but shit Am I getting old? This shit is embarrising. I got old coaches that used to see me when i was running fast now asking me what happened you should be pro by now. I got young cats I used to blow up now blowing me up. They say the same thing “what happened”. lol

Im taking 3 weeks off to train. Im gonna hit a max strength block. I am also gonna bang out some intensive tempo work along with some flys and alot of work in between 60-150 meters. Gonna kill plyos and med ball.

11.3 with 2.4 tailwind is worst then last week but at least your 200 is better. The last thing you need right now is a max strength block.

well that wind was in my face out the blocks but I guess it was swirling. either way its a slow time.

wnated to run today, but I have a cold. I felt it comming on last week before the meet. I didnt want to admit I was sick, but it has gotten a little worse. Im gonna run tommorrow .Just some tempo work.

I caught a cramp on the last rep in my calf. The cold is still affecting me I guess. Felt good on the first 2 reps. I was tired after the second. I took 6min rest in between the first 2 and 13 min to the 3rd. The final rep I took 6. I wasnt too tired but I guess the cramp says different.

A hard head make a soft behind, you are running slow as dirt and still wanna do max strength. I bet $100 that CF would disagree with that nonsense.

3x4 is max stregth. lol shit felt pretty light to me. The only reason i hadn’t been squatting that heavy was because of cleans beforehand and meet tapering.

Too much vol/load to allow your body to adapt to the speed endurance work, this is why CF only used 2x6 etc outdoors. I see you are chasing weight room numbers vs track times. Goodluck.

ill be doing 2x6 at 70-75% next week.

That may be too heavy, 70-75% for 6reps could be a 100% effort.

felt good today 4/5

When are you racing?

not till sat afternoon like 5. I plan on doing tempo for the rest of the week. no spikes. I may do some cleans on wednesday. I should be getting some therapy. I thought you was coming down.

I’m gonna give you more time to train, don’t wanna hear any excuses. Tempo for rest of the week?
