I decided I would make a journal to keep track of my progress and to recieve some helpful critiques on the way.
In my first year of athletics from age 16 to 17 I achieved a pb of 10.83 with +1.2 wind.
Stats:
Age: 17
Height: 6ft
Weight: 69Kg
Squat: 85KG X 12
Bench: 55KG X 10 lol
Deadlift: 45KG X 10 lol
vertical jump: 70cm
Standing longjump: 2.85m
As winter is starting, my goals are to hit the weight room, as im pretty weak (lol), and start increasing my speed endurance and recovery. Then when summer starts ill start getting technical.
Ill post my training plan once i complete my first day of training!!! Expect pics aswell
I heard some man child from Nelson in the U14’s broke Chris Donaldsons 200m & 400m records at the weekend…23.7 or something (certainly sub 24) into a head wind :eek:
That U14 record is crazy. Its unfair how some kids destroy the competition at a young age just because they are more physically mature.
I remember when I competed one off in the 100m when I was under 14, could only run 13.0x lol. I probably had the body of a 12 year old back then lol, still have some developing to do…
I’m guessing the tickets are paid for and can’t be refunded. IMHO there appears to be no benefit in you racing if you are struggling with a groin injury as much as you put. Are others going?

Just going through your plans and sure do wish you all the best. What were the conditions like in the finals, because all the times seem a lot slower than in the preliminary rounds for both the juniors and seniors
Yes that is true. The prelims day was probably 22C degrees around .5-1.5 tail wind. A lot of people got pbs and got a bit too carried away. On finals day I was slightly raining, cold, headwind and most of the guys had blown themselves out.
4 rounds of 200m and 4 rounds of 100m. Was tough so thats one of my goals, to cope with rounds better.
