DMA's Coaching Thread

This last week has been a test and rest week.

Monday test wasn’t great, but got the cobwebs out

Monday -

  1. Standing LJ (3 attempts) - 2.66 (best attempt) that is a 6 cm pb
  2. 60m - 7.40 (0.21 seconds slower than pb)
    - first 30 - 4.06
    - flying 30 - 3.34
  3. 150m - 19.34
  4. 300m - 42.80 (died coming into the 200m start)

I am okay with the the SLJ, 60m and 150m (would have liked a faster 150, but it is okay). Disappointed in the 300m.

The athlete had spent 3 days camping, after having a family funeral for their paternal grandfather, prior to the Monday session.

Tuesday to Friday he was aware having a short break in the snow with his girlfriend, before he goes back to Uni.

Saturday -

  1. 300m Hill - 46.2 (pb is 45.5)

Pretty happy with that effort. This time last year the hill was 49.5. If he improves by a similar amount his 400m time should drop around 4 sec.
