SPP – Week 4 (Easy)

15 November

Warm up 2
C Drills (Dribble Ankle, Calf, Knee) – 2 x 20m with 20m runout
Hurdle Mobility (Lateral Skips, Walk Overs) – 2 x 10
Tempo 111,212,212,111 in 16.5 secs, 34.5 secs
GS Circuits 1 round of 3 x 3 exercises with 2 x 30m jog
2 x Pull ups, Rope Climb, Handstands
Abs – 5 mins

Such a nice session, only an hour or so long. Incredibly consistent with my tempo runs, everything was 16.3-16.7 secs and the 200’s were 34.3-34.8 secs.

16 November

Warm Up 1
MB Throws (Chest, hop Chest) – 2 x 8
Blocks – 4 x 10m, 4 x 20m, 4 x 30m in 2.00 / 3.22 / 4.36 secs Freelap
3 x 30E20F in ~2.22 Freelap
A1 Front Squat – 12 x 55kg, 8 x 60kg, 6 x 65kg
A2 Snatch Pull Jumps – 2 x 6 x 40kg
B1 Narrow Bench – 8 x 55kg, 6 x 60kg, 4 x 65kg
B2 Split Jerk – 3 x 6 x 42.5kg
C1 Standing Plate Twist – 2 x 14 x 15kg
C2 DB Hyperextension rows – 2 x 14 x 7kg per hand
Swiss Ball HS Kicks – 2 x 25 secs
Abs – 4.5 mins

9 degrees, damp track, +4 m/s wind. I felt so good in the warm up after only one reduced volume session of my deload week. However, the times didn’t fully reflect that, in particular the first 10m which is still a slow point for me. I was really happy with the flying runs as I half expected to be running 1.15’s. Weights were 75% and reduced volume, it was such a relief to not have to push myself so hard.

17 November

Warm Up 2
C Drills (Dribble Ankle, Calf, Knee) – 2 x 20m
GS Circuits 1 round of 3 x 3 exercises with 2 x 30m jog
2 x Pull ups, Rope Climb, Handstands
Bike Tempo – 111,212,212,111 (45 secs per 100m) 180/170W
Abs – 5 mins

Another easy session, bordering on relaxing. Not a complaint though, my body needs it!

18 November

Warm Up 1
MB Throws (Chest, hop Chest) – 2 x 8
3 pt starts – 2 x 10m, 2 x 20m in 1.92, 3.22 secs Freelap
Falling starts – 2 x 30m

Swiss Ball HS Kicks – 2 x 25 secs
Abs – 4.5 mins

Damp track, 3 degrees, no wind. First time in thermals and I felt fine. Nice times today, my cue was to do the first two steps quickly and then build the acceleration. Most pleased with holding the speed after 30m, I was running ~1.18 secs from 20 to 30m then 3.57 for the final 30m.

19 November

Rest

20 November

Warm Up 1
MJ Ext (SL Scissor, Bent Leg Scissor, Alt Bound, LLRR Bound) – 3 x 20m
2 x 20m 3pt, 30m falling
2 x 3 x 60m (30m IL) in ~8.05 secs Freelap (3.25 secs to 20m, 4.45 secs to 30m)
Hard Tempo – 3 x 200m, 2 x 200m in 27.7, 28.1, 28.5, 27.9, 28.5 secs (Target = 28.0 secs)

Damp track, 1 degree, +4 m/s wind. Started in thermal leggings, track pants, thermal top, t-shirt, hoodie and ended up being too restricted. Halfway through the 60’s I had to put the track pants back on as I felt my muscles straining a fair bit. Pleased overall, mainly that the track wasn’t frozen! A healthy tailwind made it seem like I hit my target times but I felt like my legs couldn’t get going in the cold.

21 November

Rest

Good week! I sometimes underestimate the cumulative fatigue that builds up and the improvements I can see from backing off. Aware that this isn’t the same as a taper and I’m not going to peak, simply recover enough to go hard again for another 3 weeks. Back to it on Saturday.

SPP – Week 3

8 November

Abs – 4.5 mins
2 x Pull ups, Dips, Handstands
Warm Up 2
C Drills (Dribble Ankle, Calf, Knee) – 2 x 20m with 20m runout
Hurdle Mobility (Lateral Skips, Walk Overs) – 2 x 10
Tempo – 111,123,123,111 in 16.7, 34.3, 54.1 secs
GS Circuits 2 rounds of 3 x 3 exercises with 100m jog

I had a few things on so I woke up early and did this session at 7am. There were new circuits based on reps rather than time which suited me. Also pleased with my times – 300m is a long slog!

9 November

Warm Up 1
MB Throws (Chest, hop Chest) – 2 x 10
Blocks – 8 x 10m in 1.90-1.92 secs
3 x 60m EFE (easy-fast-easy, 20m each) middle 20m in 2.32-2.36 secs
3 x 60m FEF (fast-easy-fast, 20m each) in 3.20/2.35/2.35 secs
A1 Hex Bar DL – 12 x 117.5kg, 8 x 132.5kg, 2 x 6 x 140kg
A2 Squat Jumps – 3 x 6
B1 Weighted Dips – 4 x 8 x 10kg
B2 Bench Press (fast) – 4 x 5 x 50kg
C1 Clean Pulls – 4 x 6 x 52.5kg
C2 Alt DB Hyperextension row – 3 x 14 x 7kg
Swiss Ball HS Kicks – 2 x 25 secs
Abs – 4.5 mins

12 degrees, no wind, damp track. There was an intermittent headwind but I managed a few reps with no wind. Top speed wasn’t there today but it was nice to do blocks. Over summer I switched my block settings to right foot forward and I tried a few starts in each position. My original start position still feels so much more natural but there’s only ~0.02-0.04 seconds difference now to 10m. I still have more to give in the hex bar DL but it’s intense enough that I’m definitely stimulating muscle growth.

10 November

Abs – 5 mins
Bike Tempo – 111,123,123,111 (45 secs per 100m) 180/170/160W
Warm Up 2
C Drills (Dribble Ankle, Calf, Knee) – 2 x 20m
GS Circuits 2 rounds of 3 x 3 exercises with 2 x 30m jog
2 x Handstands

A real mess of a session. My schedule changed multiple times during the day so when I finally carved out a bit of time for this I wasn’t in the mood. It wasn’t long enough to go to the track so instead I did a bike session and then felt better about doing the rest of the workout. I only had time for handstands and I told myself I’ll do pull ups and dips on Wednesday instead. The circuits are too easy, I don’t understand the notation as it has it written in reps but then says 20 seconds, so as a compromise I did 25 seconds of each and should have probably done 30 seconds.

11 November

Warm Up 1
MB Throws (Chest, hop Chest) – 2 x 10
Block starts – 4 x 10m, 4 x 20m in 2.00, 3.30 secs Freelap
Falling starts – 2 x 30m
Rolling starts – 3 x 20m
3 x 3 x 60m (30m IL) in 4.50 secs to 30m, ~8.30 secs to 60m Freelap
A1 Front Squat – 12 x 72.5kg, 8 x 82.5kg, 2 x 6 x 87.5kg
A2 Snatch Pull Jumps – 3 x 6 x 40kg
B1 Narrow Bench – 8 x 75kg, 6 x 80kg, 2 x 4 x 85kg
B2 Split Jerk – 3 x 6 x 42.5kg
C1 Standing Plate Twist – 3 x 14 x 15kg
C2 DB Hyperextension rows – 3 x 14 x 7kg per hand
Swiss Ball HS Kicks – 2 x 25 secs

Damp track, 12 degrees, -4 m/s wind. The wind did a good job of sapping my motivation and was frequently gusting to -6 m/s. It was a very “meh” session, I was at least consistent and my times were almost exactly the same on every run. I liked the longer acceleration and kept telling myself that 9 reps of 60m in week 3 of SPP is not the time to be setting great Freelap times.

Front squats were tough, I felt like I was folding in half and straining my back to squeeze out the last few reps. Everything else was good, another very long session and I had to skip abs which I will do tomorrow alongside the pull ups and dips I skipped on Saturday.

12 November

A1 Pull ups – 12,10
A2 Dips – 20,18
DB Hammer Curl – Left 2 x 12 x 12.5kg, Right 3 x 12 x 12.5kg
DB Decline Skull Crushers – Left 2 x 11 x 12.5kg, Right 3 x 11 x 12.5kg
Abs – 4.5 mins

I tried cutting the rest from 2 mins to 90 secs in the direct arm exercises and it all went horribly wrong. I was struggling on rep six and needing to pause every other rep and wriggle my way through the final reps. Next week is an easy week and I’ll take the opportunity to cut this session out entirely. It was only included to balance my arms out which I feel will happen naturally over time.

13 November

Warm up 1
MJ Ext (SL Scissor, Bent Leg Scissor, Alt Bound, LLRR Bound) – 3 x 20m
Hills – 6 x 40m
Hard Tempo – 2 x 2 x 200m in 28.4, 28.1, 28.2, 28.1 secs (Target = 28.0 secs)
A1 Hex Bar DL – 12 x 120kg, 8 x 135kg, 6,5 x 142.5kg
A2 Squat Jumps – 3 x 6
B1 Weighted Dips – 4 x 8 x 10kg
B2 Bench Press (fast) – 4 x 5 x 50kg
C1 Clean Pulls – 4 x 6 x 52.5kg
C2 Alt DB Hyperextension row – 3 x 14 x 7kg
Abs – 5 mins

So relieved to have finished the last difficult session before the deload week. I was attacking the 200’s and going through 100m in ~13.7 secs knowing I’ll be fatigued in the second 100m. My grip gave out in the hex bar DL and the straps were a faff which meant the reps were very stop-start. I ended up failing the final rep, which I don’t mind at all as it shows I’m pushing myself. Tomorrow I shall eat!

SPP – Week 2

1 November

Abs – 4.5 mins
2 x Pull ups, Dips, Handstands
GS Circuits 2 rounds of 3 x 3 exercises with 2 x 30m jog
Warm Up 2
B Drills (Walk onto toes, Skips, Run with pause every 3) – 2 x 10m with 20m runout
Hurdle Mobility (Lateral Skips, Walk Overs) – 2 x 10
Tempo – 111,1212,1212,111 in 17.0 secs and 34.4 secs

I had to wait before I could go to the track so I flipped the order and did what I could in the garage first. It was nice to be so fresh for circuits but then I could tell I was more fatigued for the tempo runs.

2 November

Warm Up 1
MB Throws (Chest, hop Chest) – 2 x 10
Push up starts – 3 x 10m, 3 x 10m
Accels – 3 x (20m sled, 2 x 30m rolling)
3 x 60m EFE (easy-fast-easy, 20m each) middle 20m in 2.23-2.27 secs
3 x 60m FEF (fast-easy-fast, 20m each) in 3.20/2.30/2.30 secs
A1 Front Squat – 12 x 70kg, 8 x 80kg, 2 x 6 x 85kg

C2 DB Hyperextension rows – 3 x 16 x 6kg per hand
Swiss Ball HS Kicks – 2 x 25 secs
Abs – 4.5 mins

Cross wind, if I’m being conservative I’d call it a +2 m/s wind, 11 degrees, wet track. Huge session, another one over three hours. I felt pretty motivated in the gym as it’s a relatively new set of exercises. I’m lacking core strength for the front squats so the weight was just right, then the bench was far too easy so I ramped it up and the sets of 4 were spot on. Eating loads right now.

3 November

Abs – 4.5 mins
2 x Pull ups, Dips, Handstands
Warm Up 2
B Drills (Walk onto toes, Skips, Run with pause every 3) – 2 x 10m with 20m runout
Tempo – 111,1212,1212,111 with 20/40 second runs
GS Circuits 2 rounds of 3 x 3 exercises with 2 x 30m jog

I quite liked reversing the order a little and starting with abs. Also take the opportunity of running for a set time to ease off a little bit on the intensity. Very heavy legs from yesterday’s session.

4 November

Warm Up 1
MB Throws (Chest, hop Chest) – 2 x 10
Push up starts – 3 x 10m, 3 x 10m
3 x 20m rolling
3 x 4 x 60m (25m IL) in 4.50-4.55 secs to 30m, ~8.30 secs to 60m
A1 Hex Bar DL – 12 x 115kg, 8 x 130kg, 2 x 6 x 140kg
A2 Squat Jumps – 3 x 6
B1 Weighted Dips – 4 x 7 x 10kg
B2 Bench Press (fast) – 4 x 5 x 50kg
C1 Clean Pulls – 4 x 6 x 50kg
C2 Alt DB Hyperextension row – 3 x 16 x 7kg
Swiss Ball HS Kicks – 2 x 25 secs
Abs – 4.5 mins

Damp track, 13 degrees, -4 m/s wind. These sessions are enormous, 3 full hours and quite intense. I have bumped my food intake to an average of 3,200 kcal/day to fuel all this and I feel pretty good considering. I really want to keep the pressure on myself to make gains in the gym as I’m aware of how little chance there is to make considerable gains from January to August. I’m starting to get niggling pains which to me is a good sign that I’m pushing my body beyond its comfort zone but not so much that I break down.

5 November

A1 Pull ups – 10, 8
A2 Chin Ups – 10, 8
DB Hammer Curl – Left 2 x 12 x 12.5kg, Right 3 x 12 x 12.5kg
DB Decline Skull Crushers – Left 2 x 11 x 12.5kg, Right 4 x 11 x 12.5kg

Very casual session, don’t need to increase weight or reps in either as I’m having to rest-pause to complete the final set of each.

6 November

Warm Up 1
MJ Ext (SL Scissor, Bent Leg Scissor, Alt Bound, LLRR Bound) – 3 x 20m
Hills – 6 x 40m
Hard Tempo – 5 x 200m in 28.8, 27.8, 28.6, 29.1, 28.9 secs (Target = 28.0 secs)
A1 Front Squat – 12 x 70kg, 8 x 80kg, 2 x 6 x 85kg
A2 Snatch Pull Jumps – 3 x 6 x 40kg
B1 Narrow Bench – 8 x 72.5kg, 6 x 77.5kg, 4 x 82.5kg, 4 x 85kg
B2 Split Jerk – 3 x 6 x 40kg
C1 Standing Plate Twist – 3 x 14 x 15kg
C2 DB Hyperextension rows – 3 x 14 x 7kg per hand
Swiss Ball HS Kicks – 2 x 25 secs
Abs – 4.5 mins

The hard tempo was … hard. I was pleased with how much I pushed myself despite not really wanting to do this session. I was treating it more like a slow sprint than a really fast tempo run and that helped with my acceleration and 100m splits (generally 14.0 secs or lower).

Weights were at a really nice level, I can probably go up a touch on front squats and I bumped the bench by 2.5kg in the final set which I handled well. Depending on the goal with split jerks I could probably move it up 2.5kg next session. Hyperextensions are on a swiss ball and really unstable, but the weight itself was also a challenge so 6-7kg per hand is the sweet spot.

I’m already thinking about all the things I will eat tomorrow. I’m up to 69.5kg having started break-in training at 68kg. It’s about 200 grams/week and I’m able to stay lean while doing it, meaning I could top out around 70.5kg by Xmas. Three of the last four seasons I’ve been 69-70kg leading up to Xmas with a rogue 2023 up around 71kg. I’m playing catch up because Norovirus hit me last winter and took me from 69kg to 67kg.

C2 Alt DB Hyperextension row – 3 x 20 x 3.5kg
Swiss Ball HS Kicks – 2 x 25 secs
Abs – 4.5 mins

Big session, close to 3 hours. I was low on calories so didn’t feel super sharp. I feel a lot more force coming from my hips during my drive phase, excited to see what times I can run. I’ll need to increase the hex bar DL but my problem is I can’t fit any more plates on – will look to buy a new one.

27 October

Warm Up 2
B Drills (Walk onto toes, Skips, Run with pause every 3) – 2 x 10m with 20m runout

Busy day, just about squeezed this session in. I’m away from home which has been an excuse to not do the P-bar walks or the rope climbs.

28 October

Warm Up 1
MB Throws (Chest, hop Chest) – 2 x 10
Push up starts – 3 x 10m, 3 x 10m

C2 DB Hyperextension rows – 3 x 16 x 3.5kg per hand
Swiss Ball Kicks – 2 x 25 secs
Abs – 4.5 mins

I’m aware that I’m deep in heavy training and not to expect amazing times in the first track session. I feel a bit uncoordinated on the accels so there’s improvements to be made, but also quite powerful. Some of the gym lifts were too easy so I’ll need to ramp them up quickly next time around. Overall a lengthy session and demanding on the body.

29 October

A1 Pull ups – 10, 8
A2 Chin Ups – 10, 8
DB Hammer Curl – Left 2 x 12 x 12.5kg, Right 3 x 12 x 12.5kg
DB Decline Skull Crushers – Left 2 x 10 x 12.5kg, Right 4 x 10 x 12.5kg

I had a fair bit of muscle soreness before I started, almost skipped it but I’d already taken pre-workout by that point.

30 October

Warm Up 1
MJ Ext (SL Scissor, Bent Leg Scissor, Alt Bound, LLRR Bound) – 3 x 20m
Hills – 6 x 40m
Hard Tempo – 4 x 200m in 29.1, 28.6, 28.3, 29.0 secs (Target = 28.0 secs)

C2 Alt DB Hyperextension row – 16 x 3.5kg, 2 x 16 x 6kg
Swiss Ball HS Kicks – 2 x 25 secs
Abs – 4.5 mins

Lengthy session again, I love holding the acceleration position for the 40m hills. Bumped up the weights in the gym, Hex DL at 140kg was tough, I would like to be closer to 160kg by Xmas.

31 October

Rest

I really liked the sessions this week, couldn’t make the most of them as I had a lot going on, it should calm down for next week.

It was so nice to only do one set of everything in the gym, what a luxury! Only moderately challenged by the rest of the session, ready to whizz through the rest of the week.

19 October

B Drills (Walk onto toes, Skips, Run with pause every 3) – 2 x 10m with 20m runout

3 x Pull ups, Ring Dips, P-bar walks, Rope Climb, Handstand
Abs – 3.5 mins

Another session where I felt fast on the track. 25kg was a much better sled weight and if anything I could possibly move down to 20kg in a week or two, especially if the distance is extended any further. Gymnastics is so much of a chore.

20 October

GS Circuits – 2 x (Arc Weld, Mirror Ball, The Way w 30 sec jog on spot)
Abs – 3.5 mins

Heavy rain and no car meant I switched the session indoors on the exercise bike. It’s a balance between choosing the easy session and being sensible about how effective a session is in the rain. I will try to do more speed sessions on the bike if it’s too cold/wet as my training times drop off so much in adverse weather that the session becomes a waste.

Three years ago I was more time constrained and did all tempo sessions on the bike. Without knowing much about wattage I chose 135-140 Watts for each rep. Since then I’ve done 30-35 minute zone 2 cardio holding a similar number, so reflecting on 170W today I could have pushed it further. I had my Polar HR strap on and I was around 125-135 bpm during the reps and down at 90 bpm after the minute rest.

2 x Pull ups, Ring Dips, P-bar walks, Rope Climb, Handstand
Abs – 3.5 mins

I continue to feel like I need a rest, yet my deload week is nearly over! I won’t do anything tomorrow and hopefully my body will recover more. Today was good, I wasn’t very motivated but I got it done.

22 October

Rest

Warm down

Very laboured session today, the hills were decent but I had no legs for the tempo runs. The ground has softened which didn’t help and I had a headwind for 3 of every 5 runs, but I could tell my legs were heavy and not at their best. Yesterday was an office day in London with lots of walking, so hopefully tomorrow will be more chilled and my body can recover ahead of SPP.

Rest

Despite cutting the weights volume in half I don’t feel any fresher, but I like the idea of changing gym exercises from Sunday onwards.
