found this session harder than the 800m pace, the 600m took alot out of me and could deffently feel an increase in lactic in my legs as they felt tight during the recovery and not perticuly expolisive when starting the following reps.
Monday
6x200m, relaxed and easy ( on grass)
..........3.07....2.48....2.46...3.03...3.21

150.....161.....159.....165.....169.....168
sesson was just to relax and have a bit of fun, did it in trousars and t-shirt so didnt take it seriously at all, tried focusing on technique making sure that my hips felt sterdy and did not twist and i think i generally acheived this.
only swore note is that there is, what feels like internal brusing on the left side of my left leg just above the ankle. it is just tender when i touch it and ached a bit after each rep and took a while to walk it off
Tuesday
3x200m on track

this session gave me a really good buzz, was very surprised by the first rep thought i would have to work alot harder to run 24 and under so came as a suprise as i felt like i was working hard but it wasnt painful or exerting loadsof effort like the last few anerobic sessions, it also didnt feel that quick. the whole session i felt that i would be ale to run faster if i were able to get comftable at this pace as it didnt feel 100% comftable
Wednesday
rest, with the intension to get two good session in on thursday and friday
Thursday
went to the physio for a check up on my hamstring and general strength so was not expecting to be in much pain, however physio put these needles in my hamstring again but this time spread out across the whole of my leg not just in one area, he also left me for alot longer and by the time id finshed my leg was aching quite alot so thought it was best to allow my leg to properly recover and heal.
Friday
glen sorry this is late notice but am actually going away with a few friends tonight for a week, so will still be able to run when im out there but it will be done on how i feel and how much time i have to spere. i also probably wont update the blog why i am away but will when i arrive back
depending on how much time i have today (have alot of letters to fill out to do with uni) will decide what i do in terms of running, it will likly be a fast steady 35min or might just do some strength excerises as ive packed most of my running stuff

rest was feeling quite tight and tierd from the pervous week, was aos frustrated a little as it chucked it down with rain the whole day
Sunday
day appreard to be nicer so thought about ding fast session however was VERY windy so decided to work on accelartion, however i just couldnt get going, my running felt heavy and it almost felt as if i was running faster than my legs could take me ....got quite frustrated so the session was very unorganised.....went from a couple of flat out 40m sprints to about 1x crusing pace going into sprint over about 30seconds and then vis versa.....finsihed session very frustrated and then went for a long cycle ride with my dad to ge ride of some frustration and as a warm down....went for about 3hours and enjoyed my self.
Monday

normal cicuit = 14.42 so that is 1seconds slower than my best time
Ave HR 183
Fin HR 196

the running felt alot more stable and my hips twisted very little, i was trying to make sure my running was smooth (not bouncing) but also going fast and i felt like i acheived it.
also did a couple of shor sprints at the end which felt quite fast so is a big confidence boost after a dissapointing couple of days over the weekend
Tuesday
20min warm up and then 3x 130m stride picking up speed staying strong, session aimed to keep me fresh for wednesday as i am planning to do the 400m race

really ejoyed this session, bit of discipline in the session made it fly by. Got into quite a good pace and it was pretty comftable
the 2x300s and the 400 was ran uphill whilst the 200ms down hill in the park
the first 3 reps felt good an easy but that last 300m, espacially the last 50-80m i could feel my legs burning and effort was deffently the hightest compared to the other reps, my recovery was good after the session esspically aerobiclly but my legs remained quite heavy and flopy afterwads

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.....
Between set 4.35 recovery
1-135

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
