1 lap warm up

normal and rubber band stretches

sprint drills

6x200- i did not get to do these because the rain came down real heavy when i got done with the previous tempo runs so i decided to cut off my workout instead of staying out in the down pour and getting sick.

Good training man.

Hey people, when you say tempo what the hell do you mean.

14

thanks shumon

tempo is like 20x100 but only at 60-75% of your sprint speed. With tempo, its quantity over quality.

matter of fact, today wasa tempo day lol

2x5x100 meters

5 reps of stadium steps

tomorrow i leave for dayton ohio to run at Welcome Stadium for the Association Championships in the junior olympics…i run on 9 am eastern time on saturday.

15

got back last night at 11 pm…i did alright placing wise. I was lucky to get out of the 100 meter dash, i got one of the last spots but ended up runnign only an 11.7 and placing 5th so i’m movin on to regionals, I don’t know what was with me yesterday, I just couldn’t run at all.

I didn’t make it out of the 200.

The 400 I got 2nd and hada PB of 51.8 woot!

Hey Fabio, I hope you do well at Regionals. I didn’t qualify this year, but will definitely next year.

I was looking at your PB’s and saw something funny. You are faster in the 100/400 but I am faster in the 200. Get that considering the difference in 400 times.

Good luck.

18

haha yea, thats just dumb me. I run my 200 liek I do my 100-all out. on the other hand i run my 400 strategically by sprinting the first curve, striding the first straightaway, and use the 3rd turn as a buildup to sprint the final straight away.

19

That’s how I usually run mine, but it gets a little more complicated for me. My 400 would probably be better if I didn’t get hurt, get cleared to return too soon, or had better training ALL year rather than 5 weeks on my own. My PR’s before going on my own were like this:

100m - about an 11.8h (last year)
200m - 24.51 (post injury this year somehow)
400m - 55.90 (pre-injury this year)

What I have in my signature is what I ran after 5 weeks of training on my own. That is why I ask a lot of questions, because I am training 100% on my own next year.

As for running my 200, I do run it all out because I have pretty good speed endurance (look at the 100m to 200m ratio. Only like a .17 drop off). But my actual endurance was crap because of my coaches (look at the 200m to 400m ratio. A drop off of 6.6 seconds. Should be much better). So, I give you props because you are trained, endurance wise, much better than me. I think speed we are about the same.

20

haha thanks, i agree with all your thoughts. When you train on your own, you get A LOT better. I know from experience. My coach knows nothing about training. Day before our league meet he was makin us do 5x200 full speed! he got mad cuz i was doin them 50% LOL, he wonders why. But since I train all year round and then I have his training durign trakc season, it does not affect me much. Good luck man.
