Sprint session yesterday so long recoveries 3x100, 150, 200, 2 x 150, 2 x 300 First 100s were in SF2 then switched into the Victory 2. The rigidity definitely seemed to help at the end of the 300s 15.2 14.2 13.9 22.7 29.1 21.5 21.3 46.7 45.9 Sub 60 for 400 on Sunday will be tough and I'm not sure I'm in a race where I will get much help (4 person race and not sure the other two are sub 60, I'm on the outside and my faster club mate who is inside me is doing an 800 beforehand). Hopefully race adrenaline will help and my teammate gets out well so I can chase (he definitely has more speed and better acceleration than me, I'm just faster from 15 up) Need to remember to attack the first 100 (get the cadence up quickly) as it should be pretty hard for me to go too fast. I did that better at the start of the second 300 but legs were feeling it more on the home straight after the first one. |

Good luck tomorrow - I'm off to Battersea for another FNUL 5k - the non elite one, although the third wave will have some guys doing 14.30 odd. Hoping to take it down to 16.15-20 if poss.

Made the rookie error of stopping my watch (for no reason given it wouldn't have given a time). I suppose 60.1 would have been more annoying in those circumstances, at least with this I know it wasn't down to the watch stopping.

Yeah apart from the watch thing which I don't think cost me much (I've got a start and finish video and it is properly on the line without a noticeable slow down), I don't really think I did anything obviously wrong so the time is the time. I got out well but my teammate overtook by the 1500 start line, tried to hold him but he was a bit too fast. Maybe just running that first 200 pretty much like a 200 is the only thing I could do different, trusting that I haven't got the power to really go over the edge. I think if I was closer, it would have helped in the last 100 (he ran 58.3). I will have a full set of standard flat distances once it goes on PO10. Oh I did a three point start, which I found out later is apparently not legal (wasn't noticed by the starter but another runner was stopped from doing it in another race)! It's two hands or no hands on the ground apparently. Just read your 5k report @LBAC Si, looks like it went perfectly. Nice work. |

Some good running in here I can report my first run in 2 weeks. Ankle is ok not fine but manageable to think I may build some volume from Mid May. From small crippled acorns grow... |

@SPR Never really thought too much about the 400 as it's just something I had to do to cover for points! Hard to know how to pace it properly not doing them regularly.. Good news @Gobi |

Good news @Gobi fingers crossed you progress well. @LBAC Si 400 race craft theory (at least what MJ would advise) is basically get out, relax at the speed you've hit on the back straight, then turn it on off the bend and whatevers left on the home straight. Hard to execute and know what that feels like without doing it regularly though as you say. Also might not be the best way to run for those without the top end speed. |
