notes:
-district meet tomorrow. first camera timed meet of the year. i want to get upright for the top speed portion of my race (i have a bad habit of leaning forward and having my hips go anterior on me) and finish strong (i’ve figured out the best way for me to accomplish this is to concentrate on purely stride rate for the last 10-20m)

notes:
-some soreness in a ligament or something in my left armpit, not sure what it is
-good starts in both my 100s, but terrible top speed sections, and managed to move up on the crowd during the last 10m or so. i think i may be rushing top speed which is resulting in me never getting my hips high. i have a HI day planned for monday and a league meet whre there’ll be trials and finals again so i can use the trials to really zone in on technique and see what happens
-bench press in the gym felt very light today for some reason
-when i got home i just collapsed on the coach, today was really a burner. hammys were fried by the end of today, too

notes:
-forgot to do llrr hops after the running. wasnt planning on doing many, ill just do them on my premeet day on wednesday since its a low enough volume that i can use it as the end of the extensive warm up i do on premeet days (planning on only doing 1 or 2x30m relaxed of 'em)
-concentrating on a solid core, good posture and relaxation in my runs today. sometimes i get stride rate problems when i get more upright, but hip height was much better and backside mechanics much more limited

notes:
-today was suppose to just be jav so itd be an offday but my coach decided last minute i had to. i was still sore and burnt from thursdays workout and literally had no warm up, so no surprise my time sucked. i tried relaxing which made the 100m feel like far less effort, but i cant tell whether that was because the relaxing was good or if it was because i was almost a second off my PB time
-still had the forard lean even while relaxing i may have to consciously get my self upright before just running

notes:
-no soreness today, so though i was unhappy with my 100 because i think no one had anything to gain by me running a crappy 100 when i really needed recovery, i dont think overall it was too damaging since it was so slow and my only HI work at all that day

notes:
-felt a little sluggish today, probably a result of not doing much work the last couple days, it being humid and that my HI running followed the mile jog which is awfully far for me
-running the 100 (two heats) and anchoring the 4x1 tomorrow. my goal for both is to keep to my stomping the ground cue and not to rush my race so i can get my hips in a good position

notes:
-big headwind today, times were very slow. i beat a 11.5x kid by a good amount and didnt lose to a 11.3x kid by much, so i probably had pretty fast races for me. form broke down in the second round and in the first round hip height was poor. not great starts in either but had a nasty start that was called back from a false start from another kid

notes:
-finally able to hold form through a race. breakdown only in last ten meters first round and none the second round. now i just need to apply more force which in effect generally also increases my frequency and if i keep my form ill see a huge pr
-got fourth in central mass which qualified me for the state championship. i’ll be seeded very near the bottom but itll be fun just to be there, and i think after another light week and finally being able to run my own race i can see a big pr still. i can tell its my SE thats holding me back because the 11 flat kids do not pull away from me until past 50m
-i pr’d and didnt have a good start in either round
-had a good 4x1 leg, i moved up two spots (from 6th in my heat to 4th), kept upright and felt smooth

-outer glute soreness. not sure whether that’s from dancing or the racing yesterday
