Overall good session on the third 300 I ran into a dumbass chick on the track and probably slowed me down a couple sec. My weightlifting straps broke while doing shrugs, bought some new one’s so I’m good to go. I feel explosive right now even though I am weak as a kitten in the weight room.
The best is sleds indoors. It’s like a game of Russian roulette that you’re dying to lose.
Or when someone decides the best place to lie around and do abs is the tiny sliver of space that you’ve been using to mark any kind of broad jump. I won’t even get started on when they decide your markers have been strategically placed for them to kick around.
They had a fitness class going on and they were doing general strength circuits, I had to perform a barry sanders move but still gave her a good hard bump.
Yep. Smash that ass. Pay fukin attention. I train at a non public track most of the time but a few years ago at my old track we had milf’s all over the track in the damn way.

Long ass workout, it wasn’t a great workout but it wasn’t bad either. The softball coach interrupted my pace by coming over and talking and that kinda made the workout average etc.
Great workout this morning, the 200’s were suppose to be in the 36 range but they felt so easy and every single one was in the 30-31 range. Overall workouts are going great and countdown to the first meet will begin soon!!!
I was only suppose to do 390 meters today but I fucked up the starts, the workout called for 3x30 block starts timed; after completing the first 3 reps I kept wondering why my times were so fast (ding) I was only running 25 meters. I wanted to get some times for my records so I decided to do 2 additional starts over 30 meters.
Overall the weights went really well and this will be the last max strength week before unloading for 4 weeks.

Good session, the first 300 felt super easy and it was probably too fast so I made sure to take it easy on the last two reps so I took my foot off the gas on the last 4-5 meters. It’s time for a unload week, my lower back feels like a steel rod. Fitness levels are getting better based on my tempo and CSW times from the past weeks and how easy the tempo 200-300’s feel

Long training session today, things went well but I need a damn unload week. On the short sprints I still feel good but on the longer sprints I don’t feel as elastic because my muscle are loaded.
Can’t wait to unleash the Beast!! You know who you are…
My body didn’t feel great at all but some how I manage to put up similar times as last week with one of the 200’s coming in at 28sec and only one at 34sec. I was winded towards the end of this workout and last week I wasn’t at all. It’s funny because people think I am a 200m runner these days!
Four more weeks till my first meet and the plan is to open up with 60/200m.
** Not sure why it’s taking me so long to get primed for my heavy weight lifting sets on cleans, squats, and presses. For example if I am doing 4x3 on the presses I don’t feel strong and primed until sets 3 and 4, seems little weird too me.

Surprise how fast I felt today considering the max strength block just ended. I need to improve 0-15 meters coming out of the blocks, overall I feel very strong from 15-60 meters.

Similar to how I felt last Friday, my muscle are loaded and I am expecting for things to return to normal by week 5-7. The tempo work has been much faster then planned but I haven’t been trying to hit faster times the runs overall are just easier and I am finishing much stronger.
Several athletes on the forum are curious why the drop in tempo volume:
1: I am now running on a 200m indoor track so I don’t see the need to do more then 1000m of tempo work esp if you are doing other components with the runs (circuits, abs etc).
2: The overall intensity of the weights, and speed work is much higher also the tempo intensity is higher then what it was in gpp since my fitness levels are better.
3: I still have a football type body and it doesn’t handle high volume tempo work let alone workouts such as 6x300 resting 2min in 58sec.
Overall things on the track are going great the weight room is also coming alone, not sure where my lifting numbers are at this time because I am usually drain after most speed sessions and really can’t lift much. I usually don’t see bench press PR’s until mid-late indoor and outdoor season based on my results in the past.
