The broad jump is a season’s best and the CMJ matches my SB. I’d like everything to trend upward as a sign that I’m on the right track. My last hill session for a while, good riddance! I know it’s useful for sprint mechanics but I love running on the track so much more, and the weather will only get worse so I’m glad to see the back of grass.
30 Oct
Plyometrics – 3 x 20m
3 Point Starts – 3 x 4 x 10m [60 secs]
Tempo Runs – 4 x 100m (14.8), 300m (46.3), 200m (30.3), 150m (22.3) [30 secs / 3 mins]
Back Squats – 8 x 90, 92.5, 95kg
Banded Rotator Cuff – 2 x 3 x 8

A1 Banded Nordic Curls – 2 x 4 (4 secs lower)
A2 Seated Leg Kicks – 2 x 8 secs
Prone Cobra Hold – 3 x 25 secs
I’m still carrying a bit of a cold so the session was a bit of a chore. Squats went up nicely, one of my biggest problems at University was “majoring in the minors” and putting far too much emphasis on how much I lifted in the gym. I finished with prone cobra after searching online for core exercises for sprinters.
Here’s one of my 30m runs from Tuesday
