When is your next meet?
Next meet is the 9th of January and then pretty much something every weekend until the major champs.
Today:
4x20m
1x50m
2x150m
The 150’s were clocked at 16.9s and 17.0s ht. Which is an indoor pb for me, with my pb from last year being 17.3s and my outdoor pb being 16.5s.
So not bad for the first Speed endurance workout of the season.
Tomorrow morning is:
3x3 cleans superset with drop jumps
3x5 jerks
A few upper body exercises
where’s the meet at?
The meet is in Moncton NB. Between Moncton, McGill and here, thats pretty much where all the competitions will be at.
Today:
4x20m blocks
2x60m blocks
2xflying 25 from a 20m run in electric timed (2.49s, 2.44s)
Felt a little down in the dumps today but the flying runs werent too bad.
In the gym:
6x2 jump squats
3x5 stiff legged deadlifts
How much do you see your 60m time dropping this indoor season?
At this point probably .2s. In a season I’ve usually gone anywhere from .1-.25s in a season. I’m hoping that because of the large loads I’ve been doing in training when I go to maintenance mode it will be towards the higher end of the spectrum. Usually difficult to tell. I’ve seen guys go 7.17s in January to 6.89 in february and Ive also seen guys go 7.19s in November and 7.17s in Feb.
How will your training look like inseason? I have no doubt in my mind that I will drop at least .2…
in season will be a low maintenance volume, a couple accels and a couple top speed runs, slightly sub max. Save it for the competitions and hopefully some good performances will come through in a few weeks.
Good block technical session today in the blocks.
Did
6x20m blocks
4x60m blocks
Felt good on the starts today, felt like i’ve made some good and critical modifications to my start which was somewhat lacking before.
In the gym:
4x3 squats
Great session.
You have some really short lifting sessions how heavy were those squats?
Yeah, they have been quite short lately. Some more so then others.
Those squats were at 315lbs.
I usually have more on the list, but am so wiped I usually end up skipping it.In general though there has been less lifting this season than previous seasons.
Today:Track was closed because of exams so we’re going to do speed endurance tomorrow instead.

I’m going to focus on recovery over the holiday season and get fresh for my next meet in january. Tomorrow I’m going to do some tempo and contrast sauna.
Today:
I have a weird feeling in my right knee. I’m not sure if this is acute or chronic. Its not painful or anything and I can still run on it no problems but I’d like to take care of it now before it turns in to anything major. I’ve been icing and taking some anti-inflamatories for it. Seems to be feeling better already.
