Sat Jan 22nd
This competition was a little meet to test out this new local facility. They only had straight finals for the 60m, so I already knew i was going to be disappointed not to run a final.
7.03s
By far one of the fastest “heats” I’ve ever run. I had made some technical changes with my acceleration phase. Noticing primarily that my steps were tiny and I was rushing things. I focused on relaxing, and driving with the arms more to create that larger stride and faster acceleration. Just last week I had run a 7.16s in heats and I’m not in any real better shape. I think I still have a bit to improve on the start too, especially off the initial split.
Given the fact that 2nd place ran 7.43s (I historically run slow when no one is pushing me) and that I always run faster in finals, I think its safe to say I had a good chance at breaking 7. Anyway, big meet this friday coming up. There will be a ton of people there that are faster than me, and I’ll hopefully get the chance to run twice.
Since I only ran 1 60m I went to the gym after and lifted.
2x10 squats
2x10 bench press
