The main goal was to simply get through intact which I did. Calf was not an issue at all Times were about what I thought they would be which was a pity given perfect warm conditions. Oh well its a start so will see what happens from here. Cross training will still play a big part in what I do for a while.
All fine and good. Admittedly it was really only a light jog (60-63%) but the fact is I completed a tempo session, the last time was 11 weeks ago :eek: !!! Calf was a bit tired before hand so I was constantly waiting for it to go but it felt fine and actually feels better for it.
man I’m out of condition, reps were in high 60% but not easy. Acknowledged being tired from lack of sleep was a factor but need a lot of conditioning. Calf was a bit tired, as expected, but 4 running sessions in under a week is actually better than I expected.

Unfuckenbelieveable! I felt fine and good and this is the crap that is produced. Then I go and had a great weights session. I really am struggling to know what to do.
I have 1 more I can do unregistered and while my times are usually poor this is the slowest I have ever run :mad: Saturday’s efforts in particular were extremely disappointing as I wasn’t expecting them to that bad. Despite that I may well carry on as I enjoy training and would probably do similar to what I need to anyway. So I guess it is a case of sucking it up and carrying on. :rolleyes:
RIGHT thinking and sharing some emails re this I have a plan (but knowing me that could change at any minute :rolleyes:)
Use pre Christmas races purely as training so will add some more volume to warm up or maybe another SE rep of say 150m in before the 100m. That gives me 6. Then we are away on holiday at http://www.goldenbaynz.co.nz/beaches.html from Christmas till the 6th. I would then have 5 weeks till Otago Champs.
Pre Christmas
Sat
SE (150, 100, 200) & max weights
Sun
tempo & bike (I really enjoy that)
Mon
SE 3 x 100+ 2x50 or similar on grass maybe moving out to some 400m stuff + exp med ball
Tues
rest
Wed
accel & max speed & dynamic weights
Thurs
tempo
Fri
rest
I am conscious CF says most gains can be made through improving general fitness but am also aware although my calf seems to be pretty well right (95%+) it still causes me more concern as it fatigues rather than short stuff hence the Monday plan. I would like to get to doing say 2 x 300 + 3 x 60 but will take it carefully. Thoughts?
Why this particular order on Saturday’s drills?
How about exp. MB before the drills on Mon?
Lastly, I would keep in mind that the speed day can go on Thursday, too, if some extra rest is needed especially later on.
Thought I would do Saturday’s in that order for 3 reasons
The biggest issue is and will remain my times and the psychological impact from running so poorly. This way I will never really fully expect great times and it will help me keep it in the context of a training day.
Can’t really do it any other order, 100m is first event up and there are other events after the 200m so can do 150m when track is available.
I wonder if my warmup is insufficient so doing the 150m may actually help my other times, sure as hell can’t hurt. :rolleyes:
Re Monday possible but want to keep running as primary focus hence med ball stuff at end.

Improvement! I said I would try some different things, FINALLY may have sorted out my race day food something I always struggle with. 8am protein shake with fruit then at 11.30 after those cleans I had a bowl of Uncle Bens 2 minute rice.
Tempo all good and I stuffed up my bike ride BIG time, was planning on doing pretty much http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/new-zealand/dunedin/339551576
but instead of turning right at point point 10 I went straight ahead and went along Rollinsons Road ending up at Swampy Summit which is at 738m (2421 ft) :eek: from there I took a couple of wrong turns but eventually found my way down via a rough walking track through forest :o then it started pissing down with rain!
When I got home cranked into a contrast shower a good feed, foam roller and stretch.
