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.
Yeah it was a great game, our keeper saved a penalty 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 Bahrain were 5th in Asia.

Will be interested to see times as felt good. Got feedback after 100m that more than anything need to focus on relaxing, shoulders looked tight so that was focus on 200m.
Bahrain were 5th in Asia.
