3rd time around - Brisbane track work

G'day boys

Yesterday was the beginning of the 3rd cycle of 10 x 200m, 20 x 100m, 40 x 50m and plyo and 20m sprints.

In week one we ran 200m sprints in 37 to 41 seconds
In week five we ran 200m sprints in 31 to 34 seconds
Yesterday we ran 200m sprints in 28 to 32 seconds

I understand they call that progressive overload, and its pretty cool to see it all mapped out in numbers like that. It was pretty tough yesterday as these sprints are now being completed at 'as fast as you can go' speed and 1 min 50secs isn't all that long to get your breath back. Interestingly I could clearly feel it get difficult around the 100m mark in each run. I think the last 3 weeks (100s, 50s and plyo's) have lead to by body adapting to shorter on/off type running and the 200m was difficult as a result.

After number 7 Al had to cut across the oval on the recovery as he had had an interaction with his lunch, but he sucked it up and ran 8, 9 and 10 like a champion.

Pretty happy with the session boys, happy to get the times down and hold them down somewhat. Excited to see what we will do next time.
