Friday 10/22/10:

Rest day and a college dance. (yay)

I plan on testing 100m, 200m, and 400m tomorrow for sprint work. I'll probably try long jump too if I can get a decent tape to measure. Still debating on whether or not I want to try timing hurdles.
I'll most likely set up as if I was at a track meet but with much less time between events.

Saturday 10/23/10:

Fuu......... it started raining pretty bad today. Gym's closed earlier too.

I'll probably just end up doing a bodyweight circuit and maybe try to learn some planche stuff before I take a shower and go to sleep. If I end up learning some planches I'll most likely upload some pics of where I'm at.

Monday 10/25/2010:

Got sick sometime Friday night I think. Hit bottom today. All during school I had a pretty bad fever. Got home and started coughing. Felt weak in every sense of the word. Sickness drained my energy today. I'll be good tomorrow though. I'm already starting to feel better. Just need some good sleep tonight and I'll be good to go. Hoping to get 200 lbs. for 3x5 on squats.

Why the hell were you at school if you had a fever?

Zetz · « **Reply #154 on:** October 26, 2010, 06:18:31 pm »

I didn't notice it until second period. By the time I got a chance to go home, I was almost out anyway and I was already feeling better. The whole day was kinda strange.

Also, while I'm talking about school. I have to write an essay on subcultures for English 1010. I've been allowed to use this forum, so I may be sending some PM's out with questions of your opinions and such and I'll be reading through everything I can for the next few weeks. That is of course if you are willing. I'll make sure I ask permission before using any info from journals or posts before I use it.

Word, that actually happened to me at work last week, except in reverse. Felt blah in the morning and just worse and worse as the day went on. By the time I was full-blown sick it was like half an hour before normal leaving time and I had a shit ton of work so I just stayed for a while more. Then I went to the gym but didn't do anything but stretch and roll and by the time I got home I was shaking and had chills and a fever. My point is, that sucks man.

Also, cool about that paper. This is an interesting subculture, for sure.

That's why I chose it. But my teacher still said to me, "just know that I'm concerned." (because I don't actually meet anyone here face to face and the subculture is supposed to be one we're part of)

Either way I'll have fun with it.

I didn't get chills at all, I just felt out of it. Most of the day I wasn't really "all there." Anyway, I'm pissed today because it already started snowing here. (cursed northern Utah weather) Decided to wait on any serious lifting until tomorrow morning before school. In the past when I've been sick it's really affected my performance, even on days I've started feeling better. So I kept it light today.

Tuesday 10/26/2010:

Bodyweight rotation.

Squat x 10
Pushup x 10
Pikes x 10
Rest 2 min.
Repeat 3 times.

Nothing really noteworthy, just making sure I'm doing something, however small it may be, even on rest days.

Wednesday 10/27/2010:

Finally got my disease taken care of (mostly). Still felt a little weak during warmup so I didn't push the squats.

-Warmup
-Sprint warmup- 3x15m sprints.

-Double Leg Bounds: 3x5
-MR Tuck Jumps: 4x10
-MR Pogos: 3x5

-Squat: 3x5 @ 195 lbs.
-GHR: 1x6, 1x7, 1x6
-BB Calf Raise: 4x10 @ 135 lbs.

-Cooldown Jog
-Stretch
-PWO Shake.

Shins felt a little painful at the end of the reactive work. Still not sure whether I was trying too hard or maybe because it's been almost a week since I've done them. Hoping I don't get shin splints since that should actually help them. Tomorrow may be my last really serious sprint workout before indoor track starts. Last couple days it snowed a little. Tomorrow's supposed to be the last sunny day of the week so I might as well take advantage of it.

damn man, take it easy coming back.. hope you dont get splints, that week off definitely contributed to the aches/pains you have now though..

ice em` maybe, and get that nutrition good to really speed up recovery from this sickness you had.. contrast showers can really help with the immune system too, 30s hot, 30s cold, alternating.

peace man

Thursday 10/28/2010:

Timed couple runs, I was hoping to time a 400m but I think my cold hurt my respiratory the most. Felt good on 100m and 200m as far as muscles are concerned but I got lightheaded and my chest felt a little heavier than I would like. Nothing too serious, just didn't feel like doing the 400m was the smartest thing to do right now.

-Warmup
-3x30m sprint accelerations
-Single leg bound progression: 3x5 each leg

-100m sprint: 12.79 hand time
-200m sprint: 26.41 hand time

Sprints were in sweats. That may be my last sprint "workout" outside until track starts up. Even today it felt a little cold in sweats.

-Cooldown
-Stretch
-PWO shake.

Oh, one more thing to note about my sprinting. I feel like the strength in each of my strides is better, and I'm getting my knees high like I should. But I need to work on turnover. I feel only slightly faster than last year and it seems purely from strength. If I can work more on actually moving my legs faster along with getting more distance in each step I think that will help me get much faster.

Not the same to say about long jump. The extra pop in my step is definitely going to make for some impressive jumps this coming year. I'm excited to see how well that goes.

Decided to split the upperbody into tomorrow. Squats yesterday were overkill after being sick so I'm going to go a bit lighter until next week.

stride frequency will come from getting those intense sprints in.. so you should see improvements just from that, no need to do anything special for it.

Forgive me if I've asked this before, but have you gone over to Charlie Francis's forum yet? There are some track coaches on there with a ton of experience who are willing to help with technique, drills, etc., if you ask.

You hadn't mentioned it. Send me a link and I'll go check it out as soon as I can.
