4/18
In orlando with wife. That morning i decided to check out the wide world of sports since they have a track. I know they will charge so i am prepared to pay. What i wasnt prepared for was them telling me people cant train on the track. I say wtf, whats the use of a track if its only used 3 times a year for 3 meets. ofcourse no answer. shit made no fucking sense. meanwhile i see tons of people at the disney resorts running down the street, on the sidewalk, in the grass, trying to get a workout in. I wonder how much money they could get by charging to use the facilities. Retards
so I google a another track and a park comes up, its like 30 mins away and I say screw it i need to run. I finally arrive and what do i see, a track made out of road, not gravel, not soft spikable asphlat, but highway road. wtf. I then spot a baseball field and go hop the fence.
I had planned to do 200,150 but that wasnt happening. so I just marked off 60-70 m and did some runs
3x3x60-70meters. 20sec rep/6 mins per set.
I thought i was gonna die byt the last one. I was going pretty fast. Never though I would feel that out of breath. it was a tough one. I hate disney
Was just shaking my legs out today after returning from Orlando. But this year I run the 100s in 16-17 secs, with 50m walk. The 300s I haven’t timed. Most the time I time the 100 and 200 runs. The 200s are between 30-33
Well I do a timed tempo once a week. And those are the times I target. I would never do those for every tempo day. my other tempo days I don’t time the runs. only time the rest. I also don’t run nearly as fast
also you need to clear out your inbox. is your email still the same? Ill shoot you those workouts I did from august till now.
4/21 meet finally this Saturday. these once a month meets don’t cut it. cant run fast times without meets
Today I felt sluggish, and my partner let me know by blasting me out the blocks.

Warmup
4/27 meet
Rolling schedule. Meet start at 7 am. I arrived at 7:30 am. This meet was ass backwards. They would stop the meet to run an elite heat and then start again. The had all the kids running, stopped them and ran a 100 elit men and women, but they wouldn’t run the open at that time. This was at 10 am and I was very warm and ready. I begged em to let us run also. Nope. Wtf. The elite men ran 10.5 woop dee fucking doo. The elite women 11.8.
I can’t believe they stopped the meet for that shit. Then an hour later they stopped the kids from running the 100 again and put the hurdles on the track to run an elite 110. Wtf! It took them 20 minutes to put the hurdles out and run em. Then 10 minutes to take em off the track. Now I have warmed up 3 times thinking we about to run. It’s also taking 5 minutes between each heat of kids.
Open finally gets to run at 12:45. I’m now beat down from the sun and lack of shade. I have an ok start, then my partners watching the race say I cam up from 40-70 and walked away from the pack…then all hell broke loose, I tightened up like a rookie. I went from 10.8xx pace to 11.3. Which is what I ran.
I haven’t had a meet in more than a month and this meet felt like my first meet this season. Making dumb mistakes. Plus the multi warm up sun beat down didn’t help.
Wanted to run then200, but they were on pace for a 6pm 200 pop off…no thx. I decided to jump on a 4x1. I redeemed myself for my terrible 100. I ate up the winner of my heat in the open 100. He comes to me and says " damn, I’m glad u didn’t do that in our race"
Packed up my stuff and left. I hate aau meets. They refuse to accommodate adults.
I’m gonna do a light tempo/warmup today 4/28
There is a meet Monday 4/28 and 4pm.
I usually wouldn’t run but my lack of meets this season calls for me to run. Hopefully I’m recovered by tomorrow. After this meet, I’m gonna take some days off and just do easy tempo.
4/30
Decided not to run at the meet yesterday. It was raining and I knew I could get a good warm up. Plus since I had a meet saturday I wasnt hard pressed to spend my money. I also found out I ran into a -2 wind. I guess thats a good sign.
Going to do a recovery week. I only warmed up and stretched yesterday.
