3/12
Track meet was a complete bust. Got to meet at 2pm expecting to run at 315. Found out they changed the 100 to 2:40pm instead of 3:15 like the schedule said. . Didnt even bother to change the schedule online. This was a collegiate ran meet. Of course I didnt waste my time trying to warm up and run. atleast I didnt pay. will practice in the morning. Next meet is thursday.

What was your time?

Guess u didnt read what I wrote

3/13
bstarts-100,80,60 man were these slow today. I dont know if its because I didnt get much sleep or because i was in the sun yesterday. I felt fuckin great. Didnt get the 100 but the 80 was 9.50 and the 60 was 7.4. Last sunday I would have murdered myself today. lol The blocks slipped bad in the 80 and 60. I had a partner to run with. I was able to relax and give him the business but he really just started sprinting. I felt better than I felt last week but I guess thats not a great indicator.
No weights. Have a meet thursday and saturday. Will do tempo for the rest of the week. and maybe upper body tommorrow.

3/21
Am Tempo-6x100, 150, 4x200. The plan was for 10x200 but My alarm clock decided not to work.
Weights

pull up 3x10
dep pushup-84,30,19

No reason to being dep pushup at this time and I probably wouldn’t be doing 10x200 either.

How come? The 10x200 was to aid in my weight loss.

after reading Stephanie’s post
“When I trained with Charlie for that one day, one of the key things we concentrated on, was stepping right underneath the body, and not trying to create a larger-than-comfortable stride (the typical over-stride). He said that I might feel like I’m actually making smaller steps and going slower, but it’s not the fact, as the maximum force can be applied down there (center of gravity), and one ends up being up higher in the air for longer.”

This really made me remember alot of things I used to do. I havent doen it in a while one reason was not having the strength to hold the position i needed to be in. I am strong enough to hold the position again. Today I tried it out and it felt great. I felt as if I was taking a ton of lil fast steps but I was moving pretty fast down the track. I would have ran 12.9-.8 on the second 120 but I hit a spot on the track that made me stumble the last 10 meters. I broke down on the last few meters but I will get better in time.
