(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
jump rope
2x10 snatch@95
5x5 bench@155/165
3x3 human flag
2x6 squat@225
100 medball throws@15/16
notes:
-tried being quick while running today and it actually felt terrific and looked pretty good too. during flys i just tried to keep the hips high and to stride fast and from the video it actually looks very good because my stride length wasnt compromised at all but my stride rate
-abs and some parts of my back sore today
-hammys feel pretty roasted
