      8 August

      LS Warm-up
      Jumps, 4
      3 x 200, 2 x 200m (2.5 mins/10 mins)

      Times were faster than usual even though intensity was low. (26.1, 26.3, 27.7, 26.0, 27.1) Had to purposefully slow before the line on two of the runs to get 27.

      10 August

      Charnwood Open

      I felt about 7/10 today, perhaps doing a little too much deep tissue massage the night before as I struggled with my box jumps which is rare on race day.

      100m – 11.70 SB +1.7

      Very nice wind which I feel I didn’t take advantage of. My start was way too tense and I powered it to 25m before relaxing and finishing nicely. Was next to Glyn and I think I tried too hard to keep up with him instead of running my own race. It’s a season’s best and the 2nd fastest electronic time I’ve run.

      200m – 23.83 PB +2.1

      Slightly illegal wind and a mere hundredth off my pb. My only problem with that run from start to finish was perhaps my reaction time and block clearance, other than that I was really pleased with my finishing strength.

      I’ve run 11.4 and 23.5 in training and this backs up my general calculation of +0.3 secs to get what I’d run in a race. Would like to lower my training times as I feel this would give me a lot of confidence for the final races of the season.

      LS Warm-up

      Jumps, 4
      20, 30, 40m falling (bend)
      200m (30 mins)

      A2 Explosive Pushups – 3 x 8
      DB Rows – 3 x 8 x 41kg
      Abs 6 mins

      I like the bound-style skips but must remember to keep fully dorsiflexed as I felt it a little in my shins. Jumps were average again but shouldn’t overthink it. Lots of energy today and blitzed the falling runs. Set off a little hard on the 200 and could feel myself fading in the last 50m even if form stuck. 150 was better. (23.57, 17.11).

        1 August

        LS Warm-up
        SL Skipping, 3 x 40 per leg
        Jumps, 4
        20, 30, 40m falling (bend)
        200m (30 mins) 150m
        A1 Weighted Dips – 1 x 12 x 15kg, 1 x 12 x 17.5kg, 1 x 12 x 20kg
        A2 Explosive Pushups – 3 x 8
        DB Rows – 3 x 8 x 41kg
        Ab Circuit, 2 x 4 mins

        Did a plyometric style hop for skipping and I think that really helped the session. Jumps were excellent, I could’ve done 120cm again today. I ran well on the bend of the 200 and worked on rhythmical arm drive for the final 40m and I didn’t fade, getting a solid time. The 150m felt good too, quite close to a pb without a tailwind. (23.50, 17.28)

        2 August

        Hurdle Drills x 3
        Tempo 4 x 300m (2.5 mins) (55,56,57,56)

        Done by 10.15am and I was late to leave the house so I’m glad to have the majority of the day free.

        3 August

        LS Warm-up
        Throws, 4
        Blocks 2 x 20, 2 x 30, 2 x 40m
        2 x 2 x 35E25F (9/11 mins)
        Glute-Ham Raises – 3 x 8
        A1 Squat to Stand – 2 x 6
        A2 Full Squats – 8 x 71kg, 6 x 78.5kg, 5 x 81kg, 4 x 83.5kg
        Ab Bridges, 9 mins

        Enjoyed that session, my blocks were good and the flying runs felt great.

        4 August

        Hurdle Drills x 3
        Tempo 4 x 300m (2.5 mins) (57,56,55,57)

        Did Jared’s hurdle drills with straight legs round the hurdle etc. and felt it in my glutes. Tempo was a little harder as I had a bit of tightness and DOMS.

        5 August

        LS Warm-up
        Jumps, 2 x 4
        Blocks 2 x 30, 2 x 40m
        80, 100, 120m (12/15 mins)
        Muscle Ups – 7, 4
        Dips – 2 x 20
        Swiss Ball Kicks – 2 x 20 secs

        Not phased by 115cm box jumps at all now. I’ve been getting lower back pain while doing sprints and it’s most noticeable doing falling starts after blocks, but it was a little easier to deal with today. I had a really solid series of outdoor runs (9.20, 11.48, 13.71) with the first run being a pb. It’s a nice confirmation that I’m on the right track with training now and I’ll develop over the next few weeks to a level I’ve not achieved in previous years.

          KB Swings – 3 x 15 x 16.5kg
          A1 Squat to Stand – 4 x 6
          A2 Full Squats – 8 x 44.5kg, 8 x 61.5kg, 8 x 66.5kg, 8 x 69.5kg
          SL Calf Raises – 2 x 18 x 21kg
          Plantar Flex. Res. Band – 2 x 15
          Ab Bridges, 2 x 4 mins 30

          Squatting 61kg felt easy which is a nice sign of progress, and I managed to get up to BW to full depth on the final set. There’s a muscle near my hip which is a notable weak point and if I can continually target that then I’ll creep the weight up while maintaining very strict form. Good burn in the calves from raises.

          27 July

          LS Warm-up
          Throws, 4
          Blocks 5 x 30m
          2 x 2 x 35E25F (9 mins/11 mins)
          Glute-Ham Raises – 2 x 6, 1 x 8
          A1 Squat to Stand – 4 x 6
          A2 Full Squats – 6 x 68.5kg, 6 x 76.5kg, 6 x 78.5kg, 6 x 81kg (form compromised on last two reps)

          Lost my way with training and I’m back on a seven day cycle with true speed work. This session was excellent and I felt fresh throughout, even doing weights straight afterwards. Worked on hot coals cue at top speed and I think doing that every week will be a great help to me. Feeling a hint of DOMS already so glad my workload is back to where it can be felt the day after.

          28 July

          Hurdle Drills x 3
          Tempo 4 x 300m (2.5 mins) (59,57,57,55)

          Back to tempo. Using it as active recovery and a small taxing of my aerobic system. Did full ¾ lap of Brockington and was pleased with how easy it felt. Forced myself to do myofascial stretches at the track as it’s good for me.

          29 July

          LS Warm-up
          Jumps, 2 x 4
          Blocks 2 x 30, 2 x 40m
          80, 100, 120m (12/15 mins)
          Muscle ups – 7,7,7
          Dips – 20,20,17
          Swiss Ball kicks – 2 x 20 secs

          Everything apart from the first outdoor run felt good, I was probably able to jump 120cm today but I didn’t want to tire myself out. My blocks were fine but once I got outside running into a headwind I wasn’t as good. The first rep was too relaxed but the next two were much improved (9.73, 11.94, 14.10).

            18 July

            LS Warm-up
            2 x 20m falling (bend)
            150, 120m (25 mins)
            3 x muscle ups, dips (6, 6, 10 & 20, 20, 15)
            Throws, 4
            Swiss Ball kicks – 2 x 20 secs
            Muscle Ups – 6, 6, 10
            Dips – 20, 20, 15

            Tried throws after sprints, didn’t work. Times were okay (17.42, 13.91) would’ve liked a touch faster on the 120m but was working on conserving energy with powerful steps in the first 10m. Crazy muscle ups, I’m so light I can just bosh them out.

            19 July

            KB Swings – 3 x 15 x 16.5kg
            A1 Full Squat – 8 x 21kg (5cm off), 8 x 26.5kg (2-3cm off), 7 x 34kg (1-2cm off) + 1 x 34kg full depth, 8 x 40kg to box
            A2 Squat to Stand Drill – 3 x 6
            SL Calf Raises – 3 x 12 x 21kg
            Plantar Flexor Res. Band pull – 2 x 12
            Ab Bridges, 4 mins

            20 July

            Skipping, 4 x 75
            Pillar

            Did full depth squats yesterday and feel the benefits of the flexibility work required to get that deep. Skips were good today, kept my head down and the sets were of the right length.

            21 July

            LS Warm-up
            Jumps, 5
            Hurdle Drills 2 x 3
            250m (60 secs) 150m in 31.1, 19.4
            (25 mins)
            300m (60 secs) 100m in 39.3, 12.4

            Worked up a crazy sweat doing hurdle drills, they are HARD when you have the right RoM. The first 100m was really relaxed and I thought I’d gone too slow so hit the rest of it and ended up setting a very nice time considering I wasn’t that fatigued. My legs still felt light lining up for the 300 but I took it more conservatively. Blasted the 100 and was surprised with the time.

            22 July

            Single Leg Skipping (change legs every 5 hops) – 4 x 60

            2 x 40E20F (10 mins)
            2 x 120m EFM (15 mins)

            Had a late night and probably not the best nutrition, these are excuses but my flying times (8.60, 8.68) were slower than I expected and I felt sluggish in the box jumps even though I landed 115cm. Bit concerned that of the extra things I’m doing one of them is making me worse.

              11 July

              LS Warm-up
              Jumps, 5
              3 x 200, 2 x 200m (2.5 mins/10 mins)

              Very relaxed session, ran a 27.9 on the second run but the rest were close to the 27 flat target time.

              12 July

              SL Calf Raises – 1 x 12 x 10kg, 1 x 12 x 20kg
              Plantar Flexor Res. Band pull – 2 x 12

              I was at a biomechanics lecture the day before and direct calf work came up and these were discussed – I had a race the next day but wanted to see what they were like.

              13 July

              Charnwood Open

              100m – 12.04 (-2.4)

              Haven’t felt in that good shape in a very long time and was a little gutted the conditions and my last 40m couldn’t come together. I had a great start and demolished the field, had a metre lead and thought I had it won in the first 30m and then I just lacked the form at top speed. Should have done hot coals cue but was thinking about winning and was pipped at the line. I did do calf work yesterday having been to the conference and in hindsight that was probably detrimental.

              200m – 24.28 (-0.8)

              Was the last race of the night at 9.45pm which is never good, but I had really top acceleration and maybe took my foot off the gas at 80m and by 160m I wasn’t as strong as I normally am at the end. I knew it’d be 24 seconds so would’ve wanted maybe two tenths faster for a perfect run but I am confident that if I can replicate how I felt today under better weather conditions then I can run some season’s bests.

              14 July

              Deadlift – 5 x 116kg, 3 x 131kg, 1 x 146kg PB, 1 x 156kg PB
              Hyper Extensions – 2 x 20
              SL Calf Raises – 3 x 12 x 21kg
              Plantar Flexor Res. Band pull – 2 x 12
              Weighted Ab circuit, 295 reps & bridges

              This was my last bit of deadlift for the summer and I wanted a quick test of my 1RM. My back started rounding when I tried 161kg so I stopped, but 156kg is pretty good considering I weigh about 69kg at the moment.

              15 July

              A1 Weighted Dips – 1 x 12 x 10kg, 2 x 12 x 12.5kg

              Hyper Extensions – 2 x 20
              Ab Bridges, 2 x 4 mins

              Had huge glute ache at the end of my shift the night before and could barely sit down, it seemed to be more tailbone than muscle and didn’t affect my running. Ran two very good flying runs with a tailwind and my form was excellent. (8.40, 8.50).

                I like the bound-style skips but must remember to keep fully dorsiflexed as I felt it a little in my shins. Jumps were average again but shouldn’t overthink it. Lots of energy today and blitzed the falling runs. Set off a little hard on the 200 and could feel myself fading in the last 50m even if form stuck. 150 was better. (23.57, 17.11).

                  Did a plyometric style hop for skipping and I think that really helped the session. Jumps were excellent, I could’ve done 120cm again today. I ran well on the bend of the 200 and worked on rhythmical arm drive for the final 40m and I didn’t fade, getting a solid time. The 150m felt good too, quite close to a pb without a tailwind. (23.50, 17.28)

                  Did Jared’s hurdle drills with straight legs round the hurdle etc. and felt it in my glutes. Tempo was a little harder as I had a bit of tightness and DOMS.

                  Not phased by 115cm box jumps at all now. I’ve been getting lower back pain while doing sprints and it’s most noticeable doing falling starts after blocks, but it was a little easier to deal with today. I had a really solid series of outdoor runs (9.20, 11.48, 13.71) with the first run being a pb. It’s a nice confirmation that I’m on the right track with training now and I’ll develop over the next few weeks to a level I’ve not achieved in previous years.

                    Squatting 61kg felt easy which is a nice sign of progress, and I managed to get up to BW to full depth on the final set. There’s a muscle near my hip which is a notable weak point and if I can continually target that then I’ll creep the weight up while maintaining very strict form. Good burn in the calves from raises.

                    Lost my way with training and I’m back on a seven day cycle with true speed work. This session was excellent and I felt fresh throughout, even doing weights straight afterwards. Worked on hot coals cue at top speed and I think doing that every week will be a great help to me. Feeling a hint of DOMS already so glad my workload is back to where it can be felt the day after.

                    Back to tempo. Using it as active recovery and a small taxing of my aerobic system. Did full ¾ lap of Brockington and was pleased with how easy it felt. Forced myself to do myofascial stretches at the track as it’s good for me.

                    Everything apart from the first outdoor run felt good, I was probably able to jump 120cm today but I didn’t want to tire myself out. My blocks were fine but once I got outside running into a headwind I wasn’t as good. The first rep was too relaxed but the next two were much improved (9.73, 11.94, 14.10).

                      Tried throws after sprints, didn’t work. Times were okay (17.42, 13.91) would’ve liked a touch faster on the 120m but was working on conserving energy with powerful steps in the first 10m. Crazy muscle ups, I’m so light I can just bosh them out.

                      Did full depth squats yesterday and feel the benefits of the flexibility work required to get that deep. Skips were good today, kept my head down and the sets were of the right length.

                      300m (60 secs) 100m in 39.3, 12.4

                      Worked up a crazy sweat doing hurdle drills, they are HARD when you have the right RoM. The first 100m was really relaxed and I thought I’d gone too slow so hit the rest of it and ended up setting a very nice time considering I wasn’t that fatigued. My legs still felt light lining up for the 300 but I took it more conservatively. Blasted the 100 and was surprised with the time.

                      Had a late night and probably not the best nutrition, these are excuses but my flying times (8.60, 8.68) were slower than I expected and I felt sluggish in the box jumps even though I landed 115cm. Bit concerned that of the extra things I’m doing one of them is making me worse.

                        Very relaxed session, ran a 27.9 on the second run but the rest were close to the 27 flat target time.

                        I was at a biomechanics lecture the day before and direct calf work came up and these were discussed – I had a race the next day but wanted to see what they were like.

                        13 July

                        Charnwood Open

                        100m – 12.04 (-2.4)

                        Haven’t felt in that good shape in a very long time and was a little gutted the conditions and my last 40m couldn’t come together. I had a great start and demolished the field, had a metre lead and thought I had it won in the first 30m and then I just lacked the form at top speed. Should have done hot coals cue but was thinking about winning and was pipped at the line. I did do calf work yesterday having been to the conference and in hindsight that was probably detrimental.

                        200m – 24.28 (-0.8)

                        Was the last race of the night at 9.45pm which is never good, but I had really top acceleration and maybe took my foot off the gas at 80m and by 160m I wasn’t as strong as I normally am at the end. I knew it’d be 24 seconds so would’ve wanted maybe two tenths faster for a perfect run but I am confident that if I can replicate how I felt today under better weather conditions then I can run some season’s bests.

                        This was my last bit of deadlift for the summer and I wanted a quick test of my 1RM. My back started rounding when I tried 161kg so I stopped, but 156kg is pretty good considering I weigh about 69kg at the moment.

                        Had huge glute ache at the end of my shift the night before and could barely sit down, it seemed to be more tailbone than muscle and didn’t affect my running. Ran two very good flying runs with a tailwind and my form was excellent. (8.40, 8.50).
