day 3
10 block starts
+
5 sets
15 sec tight high knees rotary
+
hurdle hops/drills
tight high knees rotary- as opposed to the piston motion [like an A drill], work on the same start/end position, but this time focus on more of a rotary motion in the front side mechanics… think ‘riding bike’ in the front side, again with same starting knee up/toe up position and keep foot/ankle dorsiflexed throughout the motion. 
keep knees towards midline… adduct. 


completed 12/23.  Feeling good.  Feel like I'm popping out of blocks, driving for 20m and getting top speed by 20m with good turnover.

5x light sled push 20-30m
+
5x moderate sled pulls 20-30m
+
10 block starts
+

day 1
400m
300m
200m
15min rest between

400m in 1:06
300m in 43
200m in 27.5

Done 12/4
I would have been sub 1 on the 400 during my 300 run!  Shitty warm-up on my part explains the bad 400m time today.  Felt really good on the 300m and 200m. Effort was probably 95%, really focusing on smooth mechanics. About 12 mins rest between as I am definitely fully recovered by then. 

Went to go do my lower body lifting and I tweaked something in my mid back prior to actually lifting, so maybe on the runs.  Feels more like a spasm or tightness. Doesn't feel like any kind of injury. 

12/5

Hang clean at 235. 
Upper body lifts
Still sort of have that spasm

day 2
5 block starts
time first 10m
rest as needed
+
5x flying 30m
-if able, sprint a 40m from the blocks, but time from 10-40m

Done 12/6
Felt good here.  Still need to focus on staying down in accel/drive phase, but power, strides and turnover all felt good out to 40m.  I really have no way to time these at time of.  Took video of a bunch of them, just haven't timed them yet.
