On the Grind: My Endless Pursuit of Athletic Aspiration

Wednesday, 8-11-10

Warmup (1 Lap jog, hip mobility, sprint drills, MB Throws, light accels)

2 x 60m, 7.05 (3.94-3.11fly) 7.07(3.97, 3.10fly)
1 x 150m, 17.64 (split 12.00 in the first 100m)
Rested 10min imbetween sprints.

Wasn’t too disappointed in my 60 times today. I mean I did get faster from the last time I got a 60 timed back in May which was 7.24. Weather conditions were terrible today, we were planning on running earlier in the day, but it started pouring and we had to restart the warmup and everything a few hours later. T-Slow was in town today and we both are benefitting from the coach we are working with. My coach says I am not getting enough hip height when I am at top speed and my transition still isn’t smooth. He says I really need more elaticity, and could really tell when I was running the 150. He mentioned my first 30m looks pretty good, and I’m a lot better overall than I was back in May.
