Coming back from chronic achilles

Monday 26/4

good decision to skip track yesterday
inline hockey 45 minutes
circuit

hills 30x3 ( 4.2, 4.1 4.1 ) 2x70
1x180 95% 20.7 on grass

So you are in 21.5 shape for a 200m at the moment?

the 180 is in straight line and on grass , if you added 2.1 for the last 20 ( I tend to die at the back end of 200) and factor in the bend + 0.2 20.7 + 2.3 = 23.0 for 200 on grass-

I would be around 22.8 e shape for the 200; my pbs for the last few years is 22.2.

I am injury free at the moment- so I should be dipping inside 22s this season.

The plan is to dip inside 50s for the 400, 22s for the 200 and 11s for 100m.

Tuesday circuit

Wed circuit 8x40 blocks 90%

Thursday & Friday circuit

Sat

felt very stiff during warm up- felt fine once warm.

mondo (light gates and on high speed camera)
10x40 blocks
first 20 hard and sub max 20-40

20 2.97, 20-40 2.3 first 20 hard next 20 switched off.

5x5 verticals

I think he was referring to the fact that you described this time as a 95% effort. If 22.8 e was 95% of your max effort you’d be in 21.7 e shape right now.
