Wednesday Evening - Knox Masters (4)
An absolutely freezing night down at the track tonight.
I ran down there again from home (about 1.85kms)and
then continued to do my warmup. A few strides then
high knee skipping and bum kicks and more strides
increasing up to around 90m or so. As i had decided
to only do the 400m Hcp tonight i needed to warmup
properly so a little more jogging and more drills to
stay loose right up until race time.
1 x 400m Hcp (2nd in 65s). I think the winner was
off scratch and i had to give him 30 seconds so not
a bad result. I felt stronger tonight running the 400
than i normally do so hopefully soon my times will
start to come down. A little later i jogged 2 more
laps to stay loose before starting my grandstand
step runs. These were my usual diagonal double
step runs which are great for core strength and do
improve overall leg strength and stride length. i did
6 sets of those with the first at just under 30 secs
and the last in the high 27s. To finish off i jogged
another 2 laps for cooldown and then we had soup
and snacks to end the night. Luckily i managed to get
a lift home again so i could keep the soup down!!
