Today and tomorrow is the last of the beautiful weather before it heats up. Upper 70ºs and dry at the track with an occasional S wind. My 4th day in a row on the track, 8 of the last 10 days. Body seems to be holding up ok with the lower volume. Just wonder if it is as effective as the harder workouts every other day.
I befriended a young Pakistani kid who trains at the same time I do. He's 28 and was a regionally competitive sprinter in college. We ran the 300 together. It kind of messed me up because I ran the first 200m a bit too fast, because of the competition, even though I finished ahead of him. Afterward, ran 3x100 without complete rest. Last one was a strider.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, 100m, drills, bands
100m - 13.66
Adidas trainers on
300m - 42.87 (12.91, 14.17, 15.81 / 27.08, 15.81)
3x100m - 13.48, 13.17, 14.06
4 x 90lb weight pulls - 60, 60, 70, 60 yds.
The 300m was off. Was tightening toward the end and my last 100m was slow. So, still not there yet. 27.08 in trainers would be like 26.58 in spikes, too fast. Should be more like 28 in trainers and 27.5 in spikes. Then, I might have a chance to finish in 31.
The weight pulls seemed harder tonight. Probably because of the dryness, more friction. Couldn't pull 80m.
My diet has been decent but inconsistent. Been eating a small late morning breakfast, today 2 fried eggs and 1 piece of bread. I get home from workout at 8:30 and not super hungry so I grab a piece of watermelon. Yesterday had a craving for greens so steamed a huge bowl of kale with tomato-garlic-basil-balsamic salsa that I make. I had chicken marinated and ready to cook but didn't feel like it so I ate 3 seed crackers with almond butter and preserves. That was dinner. Tonight, watermelon and a lb of grilled chicken, diluted orange juice with vitamin packet.
139.5 lbs after workout.
Here's the forecast for the Nashville track meet this weekend. Besides the heat, there is supposed to be wind, not good conditions.
