Hi

Ive been consistantly training for about the past 7 weeks or so after returning from injury. Admittedly, my training has been all over the place as i have not been sticking rigidly to any sort of plan and have not been in the weight room at all, mainly doing general fitness work, intensive tempo and some SE1/2 stuff.
My best 300m time in training this year is 38.0 secs but times seem to drop off after the first rep severely.
The session i did last night was as follows;

1*300m- 38.2 (5min rest)
1*200m- 25.5 (5mins rest)
1*300m-41 (10 mins)
1*200m- 27(5 mins)
1*300m-43(5 mins)
1*200m-27

I have a comp in 2 weeks time that i may be able to do and will either run 400/200 or 400/800. My question is what do you think im capable of based on these times over 400m. BTW my PB is 51.9 secs.

Cheers,

Scotty

Based on the first 300 (where you’re fresh), I’d say you’re well back of you’re PR. If you can compete without hurting yourself I’d say go for it and have fun. Don’t expect too much from the first races–instead consider them speed workouts and start to integrate more speed into your practices.

Good stuff. I had a chat with my coach and his main concern is just getting me competing again after pretty much a 1 year layoff. My endurance is no where near where it was when I PR’ed last year but my speed is there or there abouts so im really hoping for a late 52 even from the first race, if i dont get it i wont be overly dissapointed given my training/general lifestyle have not been great recently. As you say ill go for it and have fun.
