Mortac8's 100m training log

I’ve seen your training and your team’s and to be honest they don’t look that similar except the warm-up and gs stuff. I think your *team’s training looks a lot like davidw’s proposition (or whoever that michael guy is) from a structure point of view. The main difference is also prob. that insane “general fitness” volumes you do (or at least did at some points) vs your team’s.

Well I was referring to what I gave them for Dec&Jan.

General fitness? Yes my general fitness is great. I can run 10 rounds of the 100m in 12.5.

lol yep. As I said, insane volumes. Wonder what you could run a 400m in right about now.

Finally pr’d with 6.67 55m (from 6.72) at the age of 28. I did it by outsourcing as much as my life as possible. I stopped thinking/worrying about my training so mcuh and just did a coach’s program and replaced most self-soft-tissue work with a rolfing therapist.

Thanks to everyone here who has helped over the years providing advice leading me to do this. Too bad I didn’t run this time back in college because I would’ve probably won my weak conference.

good job man, now time to hit 6.5.

fri 12/7- 7.26 60m submax
sat 12/8- 7.11pr, 7.22(fried)

So that’s a .1 PR after my previous PR in 2002. Heavier, not stronger (weights), not more explosive (jumps), much more mobile (massage), big PR. One day this will all make sense…

or not :stuck_out_tongue:
Good work on the PR :slight_smile:

Perfect conditions.
11.14 +2.5 (will I ever break 11? …argh)
22.61 +0.1 (haven’t run over 50m fast in training which makes this good result interesting)

Note to self, PR’ing by like .1 to 10m changes your race distribution a bit… I felt like Leonard Scott (only about 1sec slower). Fantastic start then died.

whats your PB in the 100m mort?

11.11 +2.8 in 2006. I’ve also run 11.13, 11.13, 11.16 (and now 11.14). Not competing frequently anymore has caused me to forget my own advice which is to not try to go 110% at the start (same mistake I made in 2002 with the 11.16).
