Im plum tuckered out. Just finishing a hard training cycle which included 3 meets in 2 weeks. I felt it today. Start was ok. only thing i can say is i did relax all the way through the races. This week will be a recovery week.

3/24 off
3/26 tempo
5x100 and stretch, big circuit. 100 in 16-18 sec, 200 in 33-38 abs

what are your pbs in the 100m ,squat slj etc …just curious as you have been on this site a long time

Looks like you made a big improvement in the 200m in one week. Good job.

10.38, squat 505 parallel, 200 pr 21.32. These were years ago before my injury…and age. Last few years I’ve been running heavy. I’m dropped about 20 this year so I’m hoping to get back to the mid tens.

Race strategy and confidence building. I jumped into a slow heat on purpose to work on stuff. Slow heats are good for the head. Also some wind helped

3/26 doing this recovery week I’m only hitting the weight room once. Rest will be track/tempo work.
2x500 split runs. 300,200 48,33 seconds
First set took 1:40 rest between 3&2.
Sec set. 10 min break. Ran 53,34 secs with 2:15 rest.
The last set was a killer. Plus the gale force winds didn’t help either.
No spikes done in flats.
Abs tonight.

Are the 2x500 split runs tempo? With a 22.2 200m from last week, a 33-34s 200 is definitely in tempo range, and the 48-53 is on the tempo border, although that wind doesn’t help at all lol. What’s the planned progression with the 2x500 split runs?
