Long Way To The Top...

5.00PM - Tempo Runs

3 x 8 x 50m @ ~65-70% (25m walk b/w reps, 50m walk b/w sets)

Been busy the last week with school stuff, so I wasn’t in the right place to do much training. Good session, pace wasn’t as fast as usual, but the last set felt really smooth.

3.00PM - ME Sprints + Hill Sprints

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

HILL SPRINTS: 10 x 15m (300m walk recovery)

FLAT SPRINTS: 5m x 3 (various starts inc. goal falling starts, backpedal start) - 30s recovery

10m x 3 (various starts inc. push-up start, mountain climber start, standing start) - 1 min recovery

15m x 7 (various starts inc. push-up start, mountain climber start, standing start, backpedal start, falling start)

Focused on relaxing and keeping the body in a straight line with a forward lean i.e. avoiding slouching/looking down, a bad habit I’ve picked up.

Single Arm Corner Rows - Bar+15kg x 8,8,6

I don’t understand why my squats aren’t improving at all even though my deadlift variations have improved…Really disappointing.
