Today my athletes had a meet. To put it mildly, we ran terrible. I recorded every race, and I broke down every race in 100 meter intervals. I noticed in EVERY SINGLE RACE with EVERY SINGLE ATHLETE, all of their subsequent 100s were slower than the previous one. I have NO IDEA why this is though. I do know that it isn't supoosed to be this way. Here is the breakdown of each runner in each race. . . .
4 x 200 – (1st 100, 2nd 100)
1st leg (14.17, 14.87) *29.04*
2nd leg (14.04, 15.09) *29.13*
3rd leg (13.00, 14.78) *27.78*
4th leg (13.99, 14.05) *28.04*
4 x 400 – (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th)
1st leg – couldn't get splits
2nd leg – (14.93, 15.15, 17.92, 19.92) *1:07.9*
3rd leg – (14.24, 16.83, 18.05, 19.10) *1:08.2*
4th leg – (15.04, 16.75, 18.01, 19.03) *1:08.8*
mike, 400, Alex, drivephase, QUIK, I'm calling on all elitetrack members to help me with this. I'm seriously confused as to why this is happening. Thoughts anyone?
