I’m hoping to race this Saturday if I can make my standby flight. The plan is to compete in the 100/200, not expecting much since I’m in a heavy volume phase and the track isn’t known to be a fast surface.
good luck.
Just relax n let it happen.
Sometimes, when ur in heavy training like this, i might set more realistic goals, such as:
10.9 but with a focus on being crazy smooth, relaxed and tech perfect, esp if ur under pressure, just so u can learn 2 run proper in those conditions. That gives u the confidence later when u have a 3day taper n ur going for it to pull out a good time.
Ie, sometimes a ‘easy’ 10.9 is better than a ‘hard’ 10.8. - when ur under high training load that is.
Remember, this dont apply for Tapered races.
After not being able to compete this past weekend, I decided to take three days off and let my body recover and get ready for the tough week of training and last week of gpp.
GPP - Wk 6:
Mar 29
Monday:
800m jog
Static Stretch
Seagrave (Prisoner squats, highland fling, front lunge, side lunge, speed skaters)
Sprint drills 3x3
mb throws x20
200-200-300-300 7min rest
The past two Monday’s the wind has totally screwed my workouts, the 200’s were very easy and the 300’s were tough because of the very strong headwind…:mad:
My friend I did 9 very fast block starts follow by 150’s with trainers. I would call the 150’s controlled speed work based on what CF mention last summer and my PR’s. Those same 150’s with spikes on probably would have been 18-19/17-18/17-18/16-17.
If I decide to compete this outdoors, I will blaze come May-August.
Wednesday:
800m jog
Static Stretch
Seagrave (Prisoner squats, highland fling, front lunge, side lunge, speed skaters)
Sprint drills 3x3
4x200 @ 30 5mins rest
The 200’s were suppose to be at 30sec, I came in at 25-28-26-26. The first 200 I didn’t know how fast I were running and the last three runs I made sure to slow down the final 10m or so. Overall good session with more speed work tomorrow. I know my workouts may look crazy to some but I’m feeling strong, fit, and looking towards running well next week.
