The purpose of today’s session was to not stray to far away for HI for too long, due to scheduling there is four days between my last speed day and my next one, so I added this day because it wasn’t much but would help make sure I’m not flat for my next speed session.
thanks everyone.
123456asdf your log is really helpful keep it up
What is + and ++ and what should the tempo be for 110 and 220m?
I do the tempo on a football field which happens to be 120 yards long (~110m). The + signifies that i would walk the short length of the field(sideline to sideline) between reps. And the ++ signifies that i would walk the long way (end zone to end zone) between sets.
And can you rephrase your second question, I’m not exactly sure what you are asking.
What is the intensiti of these 110 and 220m runs.
I cant give an exact percentage because these are on grass in trainers and my pr in on a track in spikes, so those are 2 very different things, and i also dont time these. But basically i try to do extensive tempo so im guessing about 70% given the surface,. i just try to stay relaxed and stride it out.
I did do a workout at some point that was 7x200m on the track in trainers with 200m walk recovery and i timed these between 34-37 seconds
So you do this extensive tempo to recover from a speed workout and prepare for the next one ?
basically yes, there is a thread on this somewhere that goes over the benefits of extensive tempo

Its starting to get cold out very fast :(. Over the past few weeks its been getting noticeably colder and last week it was 60s which is tolerable and not too bad but this week it skipped over the 50s and is like low 40s, I’m used to it so its not awful but i miss the warmer weather especially like during the summer where i could start sweating before i even started to warm up.

Today I utilized the indoor track and its very clear to me that the warmer conditions easily outweighs all of the negatives of being on the indoor track.

I have a lot to report today. I have really underestimated my upper body strength. The most I have ever tried benching was 170 but my training partner noticed how easily i was doing 2x165, so for the rep of one I wanted to try 185, and I did that comfortably, so then I tried 200 and it was the closest fail possible, I think if i were to try again i could have gotten it.
Also today I video timed some of the 30m Blocks and 60m (through 55m) Blocks. I wasn’t very happy with the times (4.32, 7.20) but after I account for the cool weather (high 40s). slight headwind, and where I am in the training cycle, I don’t think the times are too bad, i guess ill just have to wait and see…
My training partner who was about .3 faster in the 55 last year was only .2 faster today, so I guess that’s a good sign, although i would like to beat him or at least close that gap more.
