friday 26th december 2008

warm up:jog around track

1x200m 100%

1x150m 100%

1x60m 100%

not specifically.

Hi Mike,
You may find it more advantageous to do the
60m first then the 150 and then 200 last.
How long are the rest periods between these runs??
Are you doing any short runs for top speed such
as 10m/20m/30m/40m etc ??

hi stormbike

rest periods are around 5-10 minutes i dont really time them what sort of rest periods should i be taking?
i havent done any short runs like that i do 60’s a fair bit should i do more shorter distances more often??

Perhaps once a week i would try something like this -
Warmup
3x20m - 2mins rest between each
3x30m - 3mins rest between each
1x40m - 4mins etc
These are done fast - keep the volume low

Your other session i would do like this -
Warmup
1x60 - At least 6-10mins rest then
1x90 - 10-15mins rest
1x120-150 assuming 200m is your max race
distance i would keep it to shorter in training.

Others here are much more qualified to comment but they are my thoughts - all the best.

cheers for tht much apreciated

sunday 28th december 2008

okay back at it again got quite sick for two months early this year and have just started sprinting again basically had a whole year off lol started again a month ago

been doing alot of sprinting on the beach

monday wednesday and friday: flying 7x60m 100% effort

will get back to the track in a few weeks and will not be doing any weights for a while as i cant recover fast enough to do my track work so its getting the way.

yesterday flying 30’s x7 100% effort 2-5min rest

starting to feel the effects on running on hard sand joints are sore heading to track from now on.

today
flying 30’s x6
4x60’s from start postion

feeling alot fitter than usual

7x60m :7.16 timed a few times

2x50m 6.09

3 flying 30’s

new pb’s i think from relaxing abit more while transitioning to top speed and doing flying 30’s in training never done them much before so i guesss they help after all

flying 30’s x 10 100% effort

didnt feel as fast as usual was all over the place

5th october

10x60m 100%
