      Wet track, 7 degrees, -4m/s wind. It all started so well with a big broad jump after warming up. The blocks felt a touch flat, falling runs were nice. I was put off by the wind and ran a really slow 40m time on the second run, the session was 2-3 60m runs and I opted for two. I know you don’t get slow overnight so I’m putting this session behind me and taking the one positive (decent broad jump).

      Strong wind, quite chilly too and a small part of the track was thawing out as I arrived. I’ve peeked ahead at the schedule and am really happy that this is the last Sunday session before it reverts to 100’s only.

      Wet track, 9 degrees, -5m/s wind. Silly wind, hard to motivate myself to run the 60s. Repeatedly telling myself I didn’t get slow overnight and not to panic. Good squats, couldn’t have lifted much more than that. Can’t wait for the volume to come down further.

      Dry track, 7 degrees, gusting headwind up to -4m/s. I love my local track but the wind can f**k off sometimes. It’s in such an exposed location near the top of a hill, I want calm! It picked up after my blocks so I feel like 4.25 was where my 30m runs were at with no wind.

      This week was pretty meh, some annoying winds that hid my true times but generally felt quite flat most of the week. As of next week the weights drop to sets of 2, the volume of tempo comes down, there are no more circuits and core exercises are one set of each. Eager to see the difference this makes to my training times.

        I almost scrapped the 300’s but I chose to set off slower and take them less aggressively. Ended up running them in roughly the same time as usual. I had no enthusiasm for circuits and gymnastics but did them anyway.

        Dry track, 4 degrees, -4m/s headwind. Felt odd today, not powerful but quite springy. I struggled with pogo box taps, trying to introduce something for more reactive jumping. I forgot my Freelap so reverted to hand times. Wind was obscene, 5.75 into it and 5.45 with it behind me, split the difference and 5.60 for 40m is about where I thought I’d be.

        A few hours before a storm hit so the wind was wild. I’m starting to feel fresher.

        Wet track, 9 degrees, swirling wind. I felt great during the warm up and nailed a few of the accelerations. Really enjoyed that session, it’s disheartening to run in cold weather and not know your true speed. Still have doubts that I can run under 7.70 despite having very similar training times to last year. It must be such a jump in freshness when I ease off the weights.

        Damp track, 11 degrees, cross wind. Really good session, I’m starting to feel the sharpness as I get into the competition phase. Squats and bench were tough 48 hours after the last session. The warmer weather makes such a difference.

          Damp track, 0 degrees, no wind. I had long johns and my thermal lycra to handle the cold and it was quite snug to be fair. I had 10 minutes rest between 70m runs so that required a bit of dancing to stay warm. I was kicking myself for getting my spikes mixed up and bringing my tempo spikes here, I’m pretty sure the difference is at least 0.05 to 30 metres if not more. Lesson learned. Back squat went up nicely this time around. More cold weather to come, thankful for every track session I can do.

          So nice to have an easy tempo session. Part of me feels like I’m doing more than I need to in tempo sessions and I’d love to completely cut out 300m runs. I don’t plan to run 200m at any point and maybe that’s why 300’s are included.

          Dry track, 1 degree, + 4m/s tailwind. Pleased with my times, didn’t really have that zip during acceleration I normally feel. The cold got to my head and I did two 60m runs before realising I was meant to have marked out 70 metres.

          This is the session where weights are max effort, I tried to push it in the final set of squats and almost regretted it, really had to grind it out and a tiny little strain in my leg. For that reason I didn’t do the same with bench, even though I’m pretty sure I could do 97.5kg as those sets of 5 are much smoother than my squats.

          I’ve been reflecting on how eager I am to get to this stage of the season when I’m first starting out in winter, but now I’m here my body is so tired I just want to sleep for a week. I continue to be grateful for the track sessions I can do but also getting a bit tired of the relentless cold and unhelpful strong winds.

          Dry track, 2 degrees, +2m/s wind. Didn’t feel sharp at all, I caught one or two runs nicely though. I’m not sure what happened but my right hamstring felt a bit tender in the gym, I was fine at the track and wasn’t using my legs that much during bench press. I started warming up, did a few reps at 90kg then decided it’s a good opportunity to rest and not be an idiot about it. I skipped Nordic curls and core, took a hot bath and skipped lower body mobility.

          Leg felt better today.

          At this point last season I was running 4.50 HT to 30m and 7.85 HT 60m. Recently I’ve done 4.45 (Freelap + 0.20 secs) and 7.92. I keep telling myself that as long as I’m running within 3-5% of my best it’s still beneficial. Running in under 4 degree weather with the extra clothing must slow me down a fair amount, I really want at least 10 degrees, no wind, dry track, and a flat out 60m to see where I am.

          My race plan is to do an open on 3rd March and my County Champs 9-10th March. I’m relatively happy to trade that for a pretend Open where I go my local track, treat it like a real race but just run a 60m time trial with Freelap. I would, however, like at least one “real” race to see how my training times compare.

            4 degrees, wet track, +5m/s wind. Crazy wind, I ran 8.42 from blocks passing 60m in 7.34, with the +0.2 secs for freelap timings that would be a 7.54 60m run. Handled the cold well, love my thermal leggings. Squats were meant to be 95% but were still quite difficult, breezed through the bench press by comparison.

            I tend to have a crappy session 48 hours after a really good speed session, so I was secretly thrilled to have snow. I don’t know how I managed 12 and 20 seconds in the bike workout, I was flagging at 10 seconds so stopped it short to keep overall quality of reps higher. I was expecting to find squats easier with a lower volume of track work and it was the case, bench was a breeze too. I would now like the snow to go away so I can have my track session on Wednesday.

            Able to fit bench press the day before so now I can give my body a real rest.

            Wet track, 4 degrees, +4 m/s tailwind. It was -3 in the morning so I was very pleased for the track to thaw out in time. Freelap was being very temperamental, only got 2 of my 5 times. Great to fit in bench press and core meaning another full day off tomorrow.

              Wet track, 9 degrees, -5m/s headwind. Not my sharpest but performed well considering. Really pleased with depth jumps, I reached the stage where my legs refused to jump but I persisted and got through the second set. Also survived the squats, feeling so confident heading into the competition period. Bring it on!

              I felt quite fresh, not sure if it’s because of the reduced volume of sprinting yesterday.

              Wet track, 7 degrees, no wind. I went flat out in the 40m runs then tried to hold back in the 60’s, which I thought I did reasonably well. All times were similar and I felt very relaxed. It’s hard to run slower than your best but I kept telling myself that SPP 8 is not the time to be setting personal bests.

              Wet track, 9 degrees, no wind. I felt fresh but knew the session was submaximal, with the exception of the 40m runs. Pleased with the times, I was focusing on being completely relaxed from the first step and executed well. I chilled in the 300m as there’s no point pushing it. Great to manage 4 sets of depth jumps without issue, my right knee bothered me for two reps but then was fine.
