Running the 60 meters on Sunday
Looking forward to seeing how I do now that I have had a break and feel a little more rested 
Still sick. Hoping I am feeling better by Sunday
Doing some oly lifts tonight and jumpsquats to fire up the CNS.
Cheers,
Chris
No race for me. Went to the doctor today and have a sinus infection and bronchial infection. 10 days of antibiotics for me.
I have been feeling sick for a couple of weeks and should have went to the doctor sooner. Hopefully this will clear up soon thoughā¦
Havenāt posted in a while. I am recovering from my sinus infection and chest/bronc problem. going to run a meet on Sunday if I continue feeling better. (60 meter)
I feel pretty decent and rested but not super explosive. Hoping for something in the 7.50 range if all goes well
hey chris, i did one of your workouts 2x3x(abs, push ups, pullups). and added hip flexors
hell of a workout!
Cool Glad you liked it!!
I also did the circuit workout today. For some reason 2 days ago I decided I was going to do something different today, as I was feeling a little stale with my old upper body routine. Then I saw Ericās post and remembered I had seen some circuits earlier in your journal and looked them up. I did 2x3 (6 pullups, 12 pushups, 20 situps). Loved the work. That is definitely my type of stuff, I love work that makes you end up panting like a dog and tired/worn as hell. I think Iāll begin to replace up to one upper body workout a week with the circuit. Great workout, thanks for the ideas! Good luck tomorrow.
Thanks
I ended up not running today. Still feel tired and my wife didnt want me to push it. Going to start heading back to the indoor track the middle of this week after I finish all the anitobiotics and look at starting a GPP again.
Need to get my base back up and get myself fit again. Probably going to be a slow process but itāll work out.
Cheers,
Chris
If all goes well I can start training again tomorrow after getting cleared by the doc.
Getting closer!
First workout back in a long time.
Took it easy and just did fairly light weights
12 minutes on bike
3 sets hang snatch (115 for triples felt pretty good)
2 sets hang clean (155 but wrist was hurting so I stopped them)
3 sets single leg stepups to high box (155 for 5 each leg)
3 x (leg extension, ham curl, calf raise)
3 sets hanging leg raises
3 sets weighted incline situps
Good workout but am a bit tired now though. Going to take it easy tomorrow and then do some explosive stuff for the meet this weekend.
Cheers,
Chris
Second workout back
cycling/upper body/cycling
bike for 10 minutes
Then
4 sets bench (225 for double)
3 sets chins (sets of 8)
3 sets standing shoulder press (115 for 8 reps)
3 sets bicep curls (35 for 8 per arm)
10 minutes on bike
Not too bad a workout. Surprised I didnt feel weaker. Explosive stuff tomorrow then meet on Sunday (60m)
Cheers,
Chris
Running a 50m on Sunday. Getting excited about hitting the track again
3 sets hangsnatch (115 for triples)
3 sets squat jumps (135 for triples)
CNS is good and fired up. Meet on Sunday.
Iāll post back with the results
Chris
Things feel pretty good for the meet tomorrow.
Got a decent nights sleep last night for a change and am going to rest up today. I am not expecting anything huge but hopefully run a pretty decent time. Also I was looking at the masters results so far for Ontario it looks like I should finish in the top 4 or 5 for the M30-34 group if things go as planned.
cheers,
Chris
meet results
Just got back from the meet and it went pretty well.
Ran the 50 meter and did it in 6.60 FAT. (they announced the time over the PA)
My start was pretty good but I was tight when getting up to top speed. I believe I finished 6th overall.
I was pretty happy considering I havenāt set foot on the track since before Christmas (December 13th I think?) and I am up to 203 pounds.
I think I can get down to the 6.40 FAT range for 50m if everything comes together for the Championships in March and I get my weight back down and some track work in.
Cheers,
Chris
20 minutes on the bike last night. Legs are pretty cooked from Sunday. Hitting circuits tonight after work
Well done Chris - great result
Thanks Gloop!
Hopefully I can squeeze out a 7.6 for 60m or so this weekend
cheers,
Chris
