First training post in a long time. Had a mixed 2012 season. Set some old man PR’s at the US Masters National Dec in July but overall didn’t do well because of a tweaked hamstring I suffered a week earlier. Earlier in the year I had a stretch of 3 months where domestic issues involving a local move and working 12 hour days knocked down my workouts to about 1-2 a week. Not good.
Anyway, I’m in the third week of Latif Thomas’s 400 meter GPP program.
Workout 9/26/12
Warmup
4×180 meter hill. Times were 38.6 39.2 47.2 and 42.3. R was walk back down the hill ~ 3 1/2 minutes.
Cool down 800 meters barefoot on the grass.
Overall I’ve been hitting the target times and reps from the program. Weight is down to 205. When I started 3 years ago I was 230. I think the only thing I’m missing is raw strength which seems down about 10%, but I think if I focus myself on it I can regain it.
