Saterday- Race Kingston.....800m= 2.01.8
1500= 4.25

Sunday
went for a 20.48min run........Ave 176........Fin 180
1-135
2-120

wanted to go for longer but found my calfs where very tight and i was started to slow down so thought it was best to stop here as so far the run had been quite high quilty and strong

Monday
2x3x70m on slight hill

Ave time= 10sec....HR 160 end rep.....
Recoverys= 2.30min, begin rep when HR= 120


Between set 4.35 recovery
1-135
2-121
session was goog and was moving quite smoothly

Tuesday
9x150m (22seconds).......HR= 165-173
10x150m (23seconds).... HR= 168-178

9min rest between sets
this session felt good in terms my stride felt long and generally technique felt pretty good however the grond was quite uneven which meant i was twisting a bit and my speed suffed for it however it was good crusing pace

Wednesday
feeling a little fragile from yesterday ran in water instead, did 1,2,3,3,2,1,1,2 min reps with half the recovery of the rep

Thursday
5x200m hill

............5.33.....6.48.....728.....9.22
.............127.....121.......127........125
28.8.....29.1.....28.9.....30.0.....30.1

the start always feels slow and takes me about 70m to get going, aftereach rep the recovery felt weird, very much like the period going from winter into summer where your body is adjusting to the change so felt out of breath and shoulder felt quite heavy during rep

Friday rest

1) 26......30sec recovery..... 2) 28...173 HR
Tuesday- warm up 3x 80m strides
Wednesday- 800m 1.59.8 - first 200m ran in 26 seconds and this felt easy but lack of experince at running at that pace probably is the reason i slowed....however was thinking that 2.00min 800m no longer seem fast

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

sunday- 45.18min......Fin 190.....Ave 177......Max 190
1- 156
2-133

legs were quite tight from saterday session but ran quite well otherwise
i deffently worked harder than last week but ran about 20seconds but the run feels good and at a conistant pace

Monday- bad weather meant fast sprints couldnt be done so ran
36.30.....Fin 152.....Ave 151.....Max 171

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
