This could get long.
So if everything goes to plan, I should be in the gym by then. But am missing the track my track, there was nothing more I loved than training, out on the track. As I look back now, I feel that I wasted too much time, and didn’t take advantage, only near the end, when I use to go out of my own way to train, alone. Everyone knows me, they would see me walking down, and they would know where am going.
I loved just being there, during the summer holidays, my top off. Sometimes kids would watch early in the morning, sometimes woman from the Gym, would sit out on the seating. I trained myself for 6weeks on my own early mornings, you see because my coaches training, I didn’t think was what I wanted focusing on 100m/200m and my assault on 10seconds. It was more endurance I trained with 800m guys 400m/800m training, I use to have battles with one of my training partners an 800m guy 1.55sec senior, 300’s 200’s, we hurt each other bad. I think 800m runners are the toughest on the track, and it made me tough. Am a new breed of sprinter, I would brag! Thinking back now, I should of run 51sec, but that’s for another story.
I didn’t even pay to use the track or sauna, the woman on the reception just let me walk by, I just smile at them. On early mornings when the boxers where out my old gym, they would move off the track, I use to go to the same gym, say hello to people.
I ran one 100m at the beginning of the season 11.6 and that’s it all season pathetic. But I knew I was doing that off no speed work, explosiveness etc. Am an enthusiastic person, and I like learning stuff, I learnt a lot about training last year. After ran 11.6, people where saying in my training group well done, lets see if you can get that down to 11.4. (in one in out there other)
I told everyone that I will run sub-11; I was so confident, don’t need blocks. And then project sub-11, I called it. I went the gym twice a week, trained on the track three times week, pure explosiveness, for 6 weeks solid, nothing else day and night I thought about running sub-11. Didn’t even go out, drinking partying nothing, I had it all planned and it would come to ahead at a BMC meeting. I was immense, in immense physical shape.
That week leading up to it, I knew I was fast, sunny days top off, my hair was crazy and curly, “I made this look Good”. Because in the corner of my eye, I could see people watching me, I trained on the far side of the track. Either they where looking at me because they liked me, or because I was fast. I knew I was gonna break 11, smash it; ive got no respect for it. My friend timed me, and I was at 10.7 easy.
But the day of the competition, my mate phoned me, to tell me he had been in a car crash. We occasionally went to meetings together; he is my training partner 800m guy.
So I could not go, this crushed me “part 1”. Everything was done for nothing. I gave up training right there, just went out drinking, didn’t do anything. For two months, didn’t even go to the track to see my coach. Did’nt go to uni, and I was out every week, coming home drunk, and I would occasionally argue with people in the house. All I cared about was woman, and drinking.(i decided to take a gap year)
Then I came back in October 20th a month later than my group expected. Training was going well, enjoying myself. Then BOOM, I get told the news, one training session that we cannot train there no longer, and I have had e-mails since off my coach, but I cannot be assed replying.
I could have given up there but am not, am angry now. This isn’t hobby anymore hence play time is over, it’s personal, am deeply offended. It’s going to be hard training now, but I have to chips on my shoulders on the left fear, and on the right anger, I am the most pissed off athlete in the UK.
I could easily go back to boxing but am pretty and am not finished with this track stuff. I have got afew issues I need to sort out.
So that’s it, that’s how I came to this now. Maybe you know abit more about me now, on the dole, no job, on my gap year, but I cannot be assed with Uni all I care about is woman and training. (My parents know this)
its personal now. April 9th
