3x400m

3x400 (4) 59.7, 60.0, 61.8 Solo at Rotary

Stuffed the 1st 100m-13.0 of the session and even though I adjusted by jogging the next 300m there was to be no recovery from there. Not strong enough to handle that pace, started the 2nd rep lactic but forced myself through it. 3rd rep was a joke, lesson learnt.

Best grass track in Sydney, normally very busy but Cup Day and 32 degrees kept all but 1:46 man Gurr and myself away today so at least I wasn't the only idiot.

100m World Youth Record

81 sub 10s from runners of African heritage, 1 white guy, 1 Aboriginal and now it's race on between Kiryu 10.19 and Yamagata 10.07 for the title of1st Asian to break 10secs.

  1. 46.7s for a 300m is a jog? You gotta start getting honest on this blog for me to take you seriously.

  2. 15.5s is jogging compared to 13.0

  3. Tom,
    you are looking at it from a long distance perspective. To change from 13.0 to 15.5 is 119%, equal to changing from 3.00 ks to 3.34 ks. 46.7 300m for a sub 11/49 guy is jogging.

    Tiger,
    in hindsight you should've stopped that rep and started again, but you weren't to know you'd blow so bad in the 3rd rep. I have bungled many a workout in the first hundred. The big plus is I normally only go TOO fast at the start when I'm in good form.

    All the best on Saturday,
    JG
