komy's road to wj

hey guys im komy, 18yrs of age.
my last yrs juniors and been workin very hard lately. last summer i suffered a serious hamstring injury when training in ireland that was july, nationals was in october and i still wasnt fit enough but managed a 10.60 heats, 10.74 semis and another hamstring injury in finals so got my therapy sorted and now i in my best shape ever.
competition is in two weeks, been doing some new times in training eg 16.60 in 150m, 13.71 in 120m, 8.88 in 80m, 6.70 60m, 5.84 50m, 4.84 40m, 3.58 30m. not bad i think with all previous injuries. now im basically losinin up, like i do only ine complex training session per week, i need to start feelin lighter. i started off my weight training in dec with few weights and a lot of reps to get fitter and put more endurance in. unfortunately my doc said i couldnt do any sprints less than 150m’s for the sake of my leg. so i my sprints basically were from the 150m to the 400m which helped my 100m a lot now that i feel i have the endurance to make it to the finish line without the feel of the fatigue. then by late jan my weight training was gettin heavy with fewer reps and this is when my bench press became 115kgs and my squats 200kgs. there was plenty more but then because we were runnin late cause the competitons were comin up we started workin on our speed strength, 40 50 and 60% 6 reps each for three other weeks and since last week has been only one complex training session along with one other plyos session. i think my periodization is not bad, ive been doin pbs in training every other day, here’s my training journal for the past two weeks. i livin in egypt so week starts at sat

now plz guys i would really appreciate all ur comments and charlie if u could please give my any advice it would be of great help
thnx and i shall keep u guys posted

Looking forward to hearing the results of your meet! Good luck!

you need to start doing tempo work. You shouldnt be sprinting back to back days like that. Instead of resting and doing nothing you should do tempo work… Goood luck on your meet

What type of base do you have? Not that you can do anything about that at this point in time, but your endurance seems very poor from the times you give. Are the competition times you give manual or electronic? Are the training SE runs full out? A 10.6x guy with appropriate endurance should be able to blast 150’s in 16 with no problem and sub 13 120’s with no problem … and 200’s in 24.x should be a joke. Next GPP you should focus on correcting this, I bet you can run 10.3x or 10.4x just out of increased endurance.

thats exactly my problem aln, ive noticed with people who can run 11.00 in the 100m run 21s in the 200 only out of their endurance. egypt’s 200m nationals record was broken last november, the guy ran 21.03 and the day before only ran a 10.80 in the 100m! im very strong at the start and powerful and i am able to drive myself all the way whilst stayin down until the 35-40m. but then i start literally dying cause of lack of my endurance. so basically this is my target all year, to reach a 15 in the 150 cause i think i know if i can have the endurance to do it, my 100m time can go down to 10.3 or something. i can tell u that 2 years ago in march 2002 i was 16 and i ran 10.86 in the 100m and my times in the 150m were 17.60 and my 120m was 14.80!!! yet my 60m time was 6.82. so i guess ive got a target to work on all year. do u think that if i change my weight training to lighter weights but lots of reps it would help my sprint endurance. or sprint endurance only means doing long sprint sessions
