      PRE COMP 1

      8 June

      Drills – A walk (MB), A March, A Skip (MB), A Switch 2 x 20m
      Dribble Ankle, Calf, Knee, SL scissor w runout 2 x 20m
      2 x 40m Technical Runs
      Tempo – 5 x 400m secs in 78.1 secs
      Waterloo – 20 reps in 5:08
      Bataan – 20 reps in 7:30
      Mobility A

      I found it quite hard to pace the 400’s given I use the lap function of the stopwatch so can’t see intermediate times. I’ll switch to resetting each time. In terms of the speed I was comfortable and using 90 seconds rest between reps felt right.

      9 June

      Broad jumps, 4 – best of 247cm
      MB Throws – 3 x 3
      Blocks – 20,30,40,50m in 4.30, 5.35, 6.45 Freelap

      A3 Fifer Scissors – 2 x 25
      Mobility B

      Dry track, 17 degrees, +6 m/s wind. I’m so relieved to have made it to the end of SPP, my body should slowly start recovering from a sustained heavy workload. The session today was a mere 2h15, with only front squats in the gym. The runs were okay, I didn’t feel my best and it ended up being quite a routine session. I do like the 60’s from blocks and feel more and more comfortable starting there.

      Horrible wind on the back straight, didn’t enjoy this at all. Nice to do the gymnastics circuit as it takes a lot less time than the general strength circuits, the whole session was finished in 60 minutes.

      11 June

      MB Throws – 4 x 5 x 4kg
      Standing 5 bound, 2 per leg – best of 11.75m
      Accels – 3 x 30m in 4.25 secs Freelap

      Ab Ripper X – 7 exercises 25 reps each
      Mobility D

      Dry track, +4 m/s wind, 16 degrees. I felt good today, the wind helped. The 120’s were more like 98%, focus was on avoiding any tension in my arms as I ran. Before that I wanted to start measuring my 5 bound as that correlates nicely with 100m time. It’s from a broad jump start and I’ll look to do that each week. My chart shows that I should be able to bound more like 14 metres so I’m not sure if that’s with a run up. Either way, if I do the same thing each week then further is better.

      12 June

      Bench Press – 4 x 3 x 90kg
      Pendlay Rows – 2 x 6 x 75kg
      Pull ups – 2 x 6 x 5kg
      Mobility E

      Yoga – 45 mins

      Smashed out at 6am before an office day. The building we’re in offers restorative sessions and I went to a yoga class, possibly too much focus on stretching out the lower back so it’s feeling a bit vulnerable but I reckon a good night sleep and I’ll feel great tomorrow.

      13 June

      Everest – 3 x 3 jumps
      Accels – 3 x 30m in 4.35 Freelap
      5 x 150m (relaxed) in 8.00/11.78/15.70/19.60 (60/90/120/150m) Freelap
      Hang Power Clean – 3 x 3 x 50kg
      Back Squats – 4 x 3 x 90kg
      Mobility F

      14 degrees, dry track, -6 m/s wind. Likely gusting beyond 6 m/s but I cap my estimates there. I hit the first 150m too slow, coming in at 19.9 secs, the next three were around 19.6 and the last one was a leggy 20 flat with obvious fading in the last 60m. They are relaxed and 95% effort, if you take my 100% effort from last week, 18.7, and add 5% you get 19.6 which I hadn’t calculated at the time but I felt my pace was sensible. I was most pleased about holding my speed, quite often my 60-90m split was comparable to my 120-150m split. Also really happy to have a shorter session, no more calves and the abs workout is moved to tomorrow.

      I have a sports massage tomorrow and will potentially push my Sat/Sun sessions to Sun/Mon to give my body a recovery day. I also have a busy weekend in London attending a conference.

      14 June

      Sports Massage – 60 mins

      High quality massage from a local therapist, focused on chest, quads (particularly VMO) and then glutes. The plan is to do a short tempo session tomorrow and push the speed session back until Monday.

        Dry track, 19 degrees, +6 m/s wind. Wind wasn’t ridiculous later on, these were genuinely fast times. I’m aware that my 30m times were faster from 3 point than blocks, which means I need to accumulate more reps from blocks, so I did my 60’s from there. I can’t imagine it’s so much more tiring than 3 point so I might do that more regularly.

        3 June

        Drills – A walk (MB), A March, A Skip (MB), A Switch 2 x 20m

        Nekka (5kg) – 2 x 20 reps in 2:30
        Mobility C

        This season I switched to a 4kg med ball for the explosive throws, but it makes less sense to have switched for circuit training, so I went back to the 5kg ball. My tempo runs are so much stronger, likely a combination of warmer weather and being faster generally.

        4 June

        MB Throws – 4 x 5 x 4kg
        Accels – 3 x 30m in 4.27 secs freelap

        B2 Seated Leg Kicks – 2 x 8 secs
        Standing Calf Raise – 3 x 8 x 100kg (2 sec ISO)
        Ab Ripper X – In & Outs, Bicycles x 2, Crunchy Frog, Fifer Scissors 25 reps each
        Mobility D

        Dry track, 19 degrees, -4 m/s wind. I’m always conservative with the wind, if it was a tailwind I’d give it a 6 as it was really gusting, particularly in my final runs. I’m pleased with the 30m time, the longer runs benefited from the split times as I could tell how much I was fading (a lot!). I was losing 3-4 hundredths per 10m in speed by the end, which I suppose is fair but I feel like a few weeks of these workouts will improve my speed endurance.

        Thinking more broadly, if my best 10m split is ~1.08 then I want to be running a wind-adjusted 1.13 secs per 10m which I’m doing. I shouldn’t be afraid to cut a session a rep or two short if it’s clear I’m off the pace as it’ll be too slow to improve my top speed.

        Instead of increasing reps in the gym I upped the weight, the first set of RDL was a grip issue and I needed chalk in the warm weather for my hook grip. Soon after the session I had a recurrence of the foot issue that has bothered me recently. I had a sharp pain which made it a lot worse and has put the Thursday session into doubt.

        Mobility E

        A commute to London on the sore foot, after 10-12 minutes of walking it seems to warm up and I lose the limp. I don’t feel like I’ve done much damage to it by walking on it all day and I did take the bus in to reduce impact on it.

        I’ve booked in a sports massage for the 14th and will also try to do more prehab work to keep me injury-free as much as possible.

        SL Soleus Raise – SKIPPED
        Mobility F

        Dry track, 19 degrees, -4 m/s wind. I did the blocks with the wind behind me then switched for the 150’s. Really pleased to get the session done with my ankle injury, I re-read my journal from mid-April when I first had the problem and it seemed I could sprint before I could walk without a limp. The times weren’t that flattering but I was really fading in the last 30-40m, running almost 0.1 secs slower per 10m than my fastest point of the run. It’s my first 150m runs this season, and it’s possible I didn’t even attempt them last year. Weirdly I didn’t feel the fatigue, to me I thought I was running roughly the same speed through to the line so it’s interesting how much of an effect it has.

        7 June

        Bench Press – 8 x 67.5, 5 x 77.5, 3 x 82.5, 3 x 1 x 95kg, 5 x 80kg

        Mobility G

        Easy session before a full day out with my daughters.

        My foot is healing quickly, despite the speed session it felt better this morning and while I do limp it’s barely noticeable.

        More optimism this week, being able to run flat out and start tracking my splits accurately with Freelap will give me more confidence that my training is or isn’t working. Last season was 11.90 in an almost perfect tailwind and I’d take anything sub-12 this summer.

          SPP 7

          25 May

          Drills – A walk (MB), A March, A Skip (MB), A Switch 2 x 20m
          Dribble Ankle, Calf, Knee, SL scissor w runout 2 x 20m
          2 x 40m Technical Runs
          Tempo – 2,3,2 x 300m in 55.5, 55.5, 55.8 secs
          MB Circuit – 10 reps in 4:30
          Bataan – 2 x 20 reps in 7:45, 7:15
          Mobility A

          Times look consistent but the first 300m was 52.3 so I need to calm down a bit with the opening rep. Quite hard to hold speed in the final set, I ended up on the ground after crossing the line on the last rep.

          Really excited at the prospect of a whole summer doing flat out sprinting with the use of my Freelap. Last summer was a bit experimental, weaving in sessions from a program called The Speed Code. This summer I’m doing everything (nearly) as prescribed and hope to see some sub-12 runs in July/Aug.

          26 May

          Broad jumps, 4 – best of 243cm
          Box Jumps – 3 x 3
          MB Throws – 2 x 3
          3 x 30m in 4.35 Freelap
          4 x 60m in 4.32/5.50/7.80 secs Freelap
          Front Squats – 8 x 67.5, 5 x 77.5, 3 x 82.5, 3 x 1 x 95kg, 5 x 80kg
          Bench Press – 8 x 67.5, 5 x 77.5, 3 x 82.5, 3 x 1 x 95kg, 5 x 80kg
          A1 Sprinter Sit ups – 2 x 12 x 20kg
          A2 Bear Dog w Tap – 2 x 12
          A3 Fifer Scissors – 2 x 25
          Mobility B

          16 degrees, dry track, -4 m/s wind. Felt so flat today, the 243cm broad jump cheered me up as I thought it would be much lower. I even hit 250cm but didn’t stick the landing and wobbled backwards. Wind was at least -4 m/s, likely gusting to -6 or -8. I had one calm run where I managed 7.70 so it was certainly slowing me down.

          I did try depth jumps after front squats but my legs wouldn’t react from a 65cm drop so I scrapped them completely and took them out next week’s workout. If I schedule them in the future I need to be more fresh. Back to feeling pessimistic about the season ahead, I ate 4200 kcal as I’ve been feeling hungry a lot while maintaining 69.5kg BW.

          Nekka – 2 x 20 reps in 2:30
          Mobility C

          Deliberately went hard in these reps, venting a bit of frustration about the state of my training. I’m tired and I don’t really feel like sprinting. Part of it is having to cycle to the track 2-3x/week now that my wife has more office days.

          Wet track, 14 degrees, swirling wind. I embraced the med ball throws as I know they’re helping develop power, usually I see them as a chore. Runs were exactly as expected given how I feel, which is a little sluggish. I have enough fatigue that I decided to take 10kg off most of my working sets in the gym, and instead of step ups onto a bench I started on a low platform and went back into a reverse lunge and exploded from there.

          Mobility F

          Wet track, +6 m/s wind, 14 degrees. I had to cycle to the track so couldn’t bring my blocks, opted for 3 point starts instead. First 90m was in 10.75-10.85 (Freelap) and the second was 11ish. I felt really good, potentially due to easing off the weights a few days ago, but the wind was helping so much it’s basically pointless judging the times.

          31 May

          OFF

          I opted for a bit of a lie in having had a disrupted night, meaning I skipped bench press and ab work. If there’s one place I feel confident skipping workouts it’s the upper body, I’m not striving for anything other than maintenance.

          This was a mixed week. I’m starting to remember periods of previous training blocks where I grew frustrated towards the end of SPP, only to see my times drop within 2 weeks of the competition phase, alleviating all my fears that I’ve somehow permanently lost my speed. I have one final week of SPP but now that I’m not having to run to an intensity limit I feel in a better position to judge my speed. I’m doing flying runs in ~1.13 secs per 10m and I’d like to see that drop under 1.10 secs at least, ideally closer to 1.06 secs. I managed 1.07 secs for a flying run in my final indoor race and I feel like I can build on that this summer.

            12 degrees, wet track, no wind. I felt immediately sluggish doing 52.5kg step ups so dropped it back to 50kg to keep it fast. Track session was okay, would like to be doing 4.2* more consistently for 30m.

            Dry track, 16 degrees, cross wind. I felt good today, skips for height and distance as part of rudiment were really strong. I’m probably quicker from 3 point than blocks right now, I need to put them in more often. Times were very similar to last week but warmer conditions.

            This is the last speed session for a while with an intensity limit, from next week it’s flat out for the full distance. Hoping to see myself get under 1.10 secs for 10m splits consistently. I will do a 100m from blocks in training and don’t plan to race again until mid-July.

              County Championships – 100m

              Final – 12.34 secs (-1 m/s wind)

              I warmed up well, it was 22 degrees with a cross wind, annoyingly my Freelap didn’t record my 30m time and I didn’t set it up for a flying 20m, really should have done so on the back straight so I could have a comparison between Freelap times and 100m time. I got out okay, only one other guy in the race and when he pulled ahead of me at 40m I lost all focus and just tried to chase him. He’s a 200/400m runner so top end speed was there eventually.

              After sulking and eating lots of food, I sat down and crunched the numbers on my run. I ran a 4.22 on Thursday then ~2.17 20m fly, if you map out my fatigue to 100m and add in reaction time that would be 7.69 to 60m (I opened with 7.68 indoors) and only 12.23 to 100m (if you correct for the wind I ran a 12.26 today). I think the issue was believing I was in 12.0-12.1 shape and having that crushed by reality. Last year was a wind assisted 11.95 which was more like 12.15 corrected so I was deluding myself to think sub 12 was possible in anything other than very favourable wind.

              I have no plans to race for at least 7 weeks, I may base my decision to next compete on Freelap times as I’ll have a lot of 80’s and 100’s in training to go by. It’s another learning experience and ultimately helpful, if not a tough one to take on the day given my high expectations.

              Quite achey today, had a long morning walk and enjoyed the sunshine.

              Remembered that I wanted to go a bit faster in tempo so I was aiming for 16.5 per 100m and 35.0 for 200m. I could tell I’ve had a light week as I was recovering really quickly between reps. Good to get back into training.

              Damp track, 14 degrees, – 4 m/s wind. These runs felt reasonably strong, the cue for the first 30m was to pretend I was running downhill. Step ups are meant to be explosive so 8 reps was a bit much, I’ll reduce it next time. A good session overall.

              14 degrees, wet track, no wind. I felt very bouncy after all the low level plyometrics that make up Rudiment, I should put them in winter training too. Reasonably pleased with my pace in the runs, quads were quite fatigued by the end. Hang power cleans were a little too easy so I bumped it 2.5kg, still keeping it very explosive and light. Almost a 3 hour session which is a chore right now.

              (stopped tracking volume, might retrospectively add it in again)

              I moved my tempo session a day early as I’m in London tomorrow, left out the circuits which I can squeeze in first thing tomorrow alongside core work. A little laboured in the 300m runs.
