It was a milestone day, the first time I put on spikes in almost 18 months, (but just for one 100m sprint). First time I tried full speed accelerations from the starting line, no rolling start. I was a bit gun shy, didn't want to get hurt. But it went well. Ran everything about full effort. My body held up well.
Hoka trainers on
300m warmup, stretches drills
bandwork - hams, hip flexors
50m w/ 2 step flying start - 6.37
2 x 50m from 3 pt stance - 6.75, 6.56
100m - 12.37 (from 3 pt stance )
Puma trainer spikes on
100m - 12.32 (from 3 pt stance)
Hoka trainers on
300m - 42.95I think the most impressive sprint of my day was that first 100m in Hoka Clifton 1 trainers: 12.37. These sprints were also done with a tailwind. I think my form was better than when I ran just slightly faster in spikes. Training in spikes is really hard on my feet so I put them away after just one sprint. I seemed unusually tired after only 3x50m and 2x100m, but I put the trainers back on and pounded out a hard 300m. Not as fast as I wanted to run, but not bad. I had the wind in my face for the first 150. I'm still not ready for a 400m race, but this today gives me confidence to race a 200m, (maybe even a 100m). I need a lot more work on blocks and acceleration, form, speed endurance, everything.
To save my feet, I'm considering replacing a track day with a pool running day. Tues is supposed to be very rainy, so maybe pool on Tues.
Heavier today than last time, 144 lbs. Probably from eating at the college.
