Ran a few timed 30m from blocks today. (Timed from first movement)
It is literally the first start/block workout of the year.
What do you think?
(Unfortunately I dont have any splits. We are getting the vid camera out for the next session and will probably tape an 80 meter from the blocks to see how the speed end stuff is holding up)
4 x 30m with 3-4 minutes rest from blocks.
Timed from first movement:
First rep: 4.12 felt sluggish and popped up too soon
Second rep: 4.06 Getting better
Third rep: 4.03 I was flying on this one, still accelerating very hard at the 30 meter mark
Fourth rep: 4.08 (felt a little tired on this one, could have used another minute or so recovery)
How do these times look for early in the year?
My goal is to try and get them solidly in the 3.9X range timed from first movement.
Micro is as follows:
Max V
Tempo/bodyweight circuit
Block work/short accel
Tempo/bodyweight circuit
Speed end/Hills
Tempo/bodyweight circuit
Rest
I insert extra rest days as needed. (Sometimes two)
Perhaps you didn’t need the fourth one to realise the drop in time; as 4.03 was ok for you, as you say, you could have stopped there -not that the last one hurt…
Perhaps a bit longer recoveries help you maintain all times at a higher level? Or as season goes on, I suppose?
