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
Are they on grass?
Yes always on grass, unless the grass is too wet
Don’t you think those times are a little fast for ext tempo?
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

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.

I just had a look back through this thread and read what you have done since you started posting this year. I am enjoying it! How do you find sprinting after weights? How much special endurance work did you do before you started posting? Only because I know you have been running 200m in competitions, but there seems to have been limited running beyond 120m in practice (I have seen a bit, and you have mentioned you did some split runs, but was wondering how much, as you said you were doing a S-L). Keep posting though, am enjoying it!
