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.

all good :cool:

What’s the plan for next races?

stuffed if I know. :confused:

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.

Enjoy your fishing! :cool:

Thought I would do Saturday’s in that order for 3 reasons

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Probably no fishing just chilling on the beach, swimming, walks and mountain biking :smiley:

Sorry, I didn’t realise the ‘drills’ were referring to races…
Sometimes MB work helps subsequent running -you can try it perhaps (?)
:cool:

I expect to try a few different things.

Improvement! :cool: 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.

Have a vid of my last set of squats

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.

I heard about NZ’s qualification, after 28 years, wow! Well done! What were the other teams in the group stage (after Bahrain)?

Well done on that bike ride, too! :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah it was a great game, our keeper saved a penalty :cool: We needed to win to go through with the away goal rule a factor following a 0-0 draw in the first match. We were top of Oceania which for some reason doesn’t include Aus anymore :confused: Bahrain were 5th in Asia.

Bike ride was brutal!
