24th-30th

Saterday- 3x each leg hop and 6x 90m

right leg= 30m in 12-13 hopes
Left leg= 30m in 14-15 hopes
seems to be quite a big diffrences between spring here however it was the first couple of hops that were the hardest and most diiffrent as it took a while for it to get going however after that i as jumping as far on my left as i was on my right
i think this may be because i am always having to strech my left calf because of the injury from the other year

6x90m= 30m fast-30m accelrate-30m cruise- didnt feel great as over this diffrence i never felt like i was running at maxium and athough i tried to change my pace it seemed quite minimal

was relaxed and in control off each rep, was trying to push of from my feet and really stride out, the last 3 reps were the hardest were i could start to feel the stress as my technique was not coming as natural but itried to remain strong and felt really good after the session
got home and i was not exhausted but i could feel the fact that i had worked

it was alot better run than last week, had a good warm up

another good run, added the Wells onto the route which is about another mile with half a KM up a steep hill. kept the run at a steadyier pace and just kept the same speed going up hills instead of sprinting up each one

Friday rest

10th-16th

Saterday- Surreys 400m

Heat- 51.77
Final- 51.68

the heat felt pretty comftable- endedup relaxing alot over the last 30m - planned to save energy but probably did little good

Final was feeling ok, didnt get the greatest start. last 200m got going and had cought the group however someones number got stuck to my spicks and i rekon it affected 4-5 of my strides.also did the arm technique in the last 100m which is bloody tough and could feel my legs going faster but my shoulders did tighten up quite alot

Sunday- Surreys 800m

Final- 159.68

overall it was a good tactical race and i felt strong, unfortunatly the biggest dissapointment is the fact i let the leader get so far ahead. i didnt go of as fast as usal and ended up stuck at the back of the pack and by the bend the leader had attacked whilst the group i was behind failed to react and i was not brave enough to attack round the bend and ended up weighting till the stright-

lleaders first lap= 55
mine= 57
pack 59

dissapointed that i was not aggressive enough to catch him, one other ran with me but i lost him with 200m left

quite a positive run as looking bacik couple of months was running slower but flat out so am getting faster


this week i have had a cough...habve been feeling fine and not ill but have been coughing up a lot of mucus from my lungs which probably explains the shortness of breath
