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
(premeet)
team mile
2 4x1 exchanges
3 blast outs (5,10,20m)
1 fly (touched top speed)
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
-abs were kinda sore today for some reason
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
notes:
-outer glute soreness. not sure whether that’s from dancing or the racing yesterday
-hammys feel pretty fried. makes sense because since i finally got upright my hammys were probably more active than they usually are while running
5x100m grass tempo
hurdle drills
2’ abs circuit (half reps)
notes:
-pectoral and gluteal soreness today. man, i didn’t realize how little could make a good workout
-talked to the head coach of the track team for the college i’m attending next year. they are d1 so i need to get my time down, but i guess i appear to have enough potential that i will receive the team summer workouts starting late june and am on the tryout roster for the fall
notes:
-big meet tomorrow! again, no time related goal, but I really want to key in on keeping my stride rate high even while upright i have a tendency to let it drop off and to overstride instead of keeping it tight
notes:
-yuck, pretty bad race all around, the field i was against was faster than usual and i guess that tightened me up. I need to work on running my own race
jump rope
-5x5 bench@150
3x3 each human flag
-3x8 pull-ups
3x5 ab rollouts
-2x10 upper body circuit
-1x15 core circuit
notes:
-i used 2’ rest intervals between sets and slightly longer between different supersets
-totally burned again today, my weightroom work capacity is no where where it used to be. ironically, my musculature hasnt taken the hit i assumed lifting less would do to it. wisdom tooth comes out tomorrow so ill be out for a week
-multivit, creatine and arginine before workout, weightgainer shake after and zma before bed
-minor soreness in my legs posterior chain. probably a sign that some of my muscle there is beginning to go away. im not too worrie though, i think my legs need the rest
-running at the baystates games on june 24. just for fun. i’ll count it as a HI day
notes:
-made it through the ab circuit easiest i ever have. also i did a vertical just for kicks yesterday and it was as high if not even higher than it ever has been
-first HI day in a while tomorrow. i plan to do 3 starts, 3 transition runs and 3 flys. just mechanics work and i have a race friday. i dont plan to start formal sprint training until like two weeks from now
