too much rest. less rest, more work.

The club whose events I raced at a couple of times last year just one the 2015 national masters T&F championships, beating out SoCal (suck it T0ddday) for the gold!

Look at the list of PVTC's individual and relay winners and do two things: (1) bow before the superior dedication of your elders and (2) take inspiration from the fact that you never, ever have to stop training hard and trying to get better. even when you're 90.

PVTC's team won the 2015 USATF Masters Indoor Track & Field Championships, held March 20-22 at JDL Fast Track in Winston-Salem NC.

The 90-99 4x800 is the first one ever fielded, as far as they know. That is insane. People older than my living grandparents. Who cares that it was at a pace that for me would be a fast walk?!? That is insane! They're in their NINETIES!

 

haha even with five whole minutes of rest between each 60 and each set of plyos that doesn't work unless the warm up is like 50 minutes. or maybe it's counting the time to get to and from the track?

nice paused 190x2 in there somewhere.

also one of the chicks in his pics -- sister? -- is fine. the brunette.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee pulling weirdly during tempo, see below
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
jog to track, bit more than half-mile

- broad jump x 3
best <9' 

- DL bound x 4,4,4
first and third right at 36', second well short 

- tempo sprint x 200,200
walk 200 rest. something in my right knee started pulling at itself right away so i stopped prematurely. meant to do 4-5 reps but it felt wrong. similar feeling to what i had every few workouts last year. the discomfort comes on the recovery of my right leg, i.e. as my knee coming from behind up in front of me. vexing. need to investigate.

- stretch

my engine is weak. doing some track work and easy jogging can only be good if i can get the knee thing figured out.

not so worried about the broad jump and DL bounds, those will improve quickly as i haven't done them in eight months. at least i was getting farther per jump on the bounds than on the single jump.
