Programming/Progression Journal standing start
10m start after short speed workout. 30,60,90. Was gonna do another set but felt super fatigued during the 90 and decided to cut it.
30 (x.x) 60 (6.94) 90 (10.54) so yeah a big performance drop off. This was still a decent start (1.75) but i was pretty fatigued so it was the last rep i did.
After that i did 2 sets of pogos, bounds, and broad jumps for 10-20yds. then cool down walk.
sprained my ankle on christmas eve so im testing the waters with running but overall felt pretty good especially on that 60. I guess that 60 really took alot out of me since it’s my training pr (havent ran 60 at a meet before)
I can see a difference in my mechanics on the right side. My ankle collapses and I seem to rely more on over extending at the knee rather than pushing thru the hips and ankles. While my left side foot strikes are a bit flatter, I think im able to get a bit more stability and leverage as I have a much better toe off on that side. Im doing a decent job at getting the toes up and striking the ground, but it could be better. Main thing is ankle stability needs to be stronger in order for the footstrike to be effective. Definitely a lot lazier with the arms too, whole body felt a bit off today so having the right bodily control was a challenge. I am seeing issues with the glutes hammies and core (specifically the obliques).
While there is still so much to work on in my mechanics as well as on the strength and stability and body composition, I am overall very pleased with this workout and what I accomplished and am excited to see where this season and journey as a whole takes me. As always feedback questions and discussion is welcomed.
