I now have easy access to a track so today I got to do my tempo on a football field and running on grass feels sooooooo much nicer than the tempo I’ve been doing on a treadmill. Tomorrow is my first time this training season running on a track so I am excited to see how i feel moving on the track since i know I am much faster than last time I ran on one. Also I now have a training partner who is about the same ability as me so that’ll help and make training less lonesome.
I found out i have access to starting blocks. what are peoples thoughts on incorporating them vs. just using 3pt starts (too you think its too early or it always good to start out of blocks if you can)? thanks for the help as im not sure at all about the normal protocol for this
Weights
Pull Up 2x10
Shoulder PRess 2x8
DB Incline Press 3x8
Dips 2x8
abs- 300 reps
Is there a reason for this belief about not using both the pc and cp. Im just wondering cause i have found all your advice useful and informative but for this scenario i like using both exercises, i keep the overall volume low and i think using the cp before the pc acts as a nice warm up and its a good exercise too.
Today was my first pure speed session on the track this season and I felt very good on everything except the block starts, which is expected since i hadn’t used them in awhile and don’t know my settings. But overall it was a very good session.
Also played some Ultimate Frisbee later, hopefully it doesn’t come back and haunt me.
I thought tempo was gonna be a challenge but i handled way easier than i thought i would. It felt pretty easy, which is good, i guess my fitness is better than I thought.
