Review of Week 10

Training this week went really well and was feeling really good for Saturday,then the meet got canceled. Was lucky that i like to go down early before races as I did not know it had been until I arrived and my coach told me. Would have been good to see how I had fared over the 400m hurdles that day due to the fact that I was coming of a heavy week of training but I guess you have to do what you can therefore it was changed to 2x200m and race pace just to get the body going. The average RPE was 8.2 for the week. Mondays session was a killer on the body but was a good confidence builder leading up into the weekend. hurdles went well this week so am just hoping it will carry on into next.

Race Day 13/10/2012

So I was suppose to compete today but due to the snow warning the meet was canceled so this means my first 400m Hurdles for the season will have be done on the day of the event as it is not scheduled on next weeks track program. Due to the meeting being canceled, I ended up just training instead. I completed two 200m at race pace today. They felt smooth and fast so hopefully this can transfer into my racing next week and I can achieve some fast times.

Joined Hill City University

Today I finally joined Hill City University Athletics Club. In doing so i have switched from my old club Kiwi Athletics Club, whom is based in Wellington. This change means that I will no longer be competing under the yellow and black colors of Wellington at nationals, instead trading them in for the blue and yellow of Otago.

Training for Week 10

Here is my plan for week 10. On Saturday I plan on running my first 400m Hurdles of the season, heres hoping it all goes well :) .

Review of Week 9

Week 10 was tough on me as I spent a lot of the first half of the week recovering from competing on Saturday therefore RPEs were higher than they should have been. The average RPE for the week was 8 so it still could have been worse. Apart from feeling sluggish at the start the body started to come to and was able to get some good training in later in the week.

Start of Training for Week 9

As this is the last week of training before I start competing, I am hoping that it will go smoothly without to many problems. Although my knee has been playing up over the last month I plan on keeping up with the foam rolling of adductors to allow me to keep on training.

Training For the Month of October

Here my whole training program for the month of October. As October marks the begin of the Athletics New Zealand Season, I will be aiming to get in a few races before my 400m Hurdles on the 27th of October. The plan is to run two 400m Hurdles in this month the first being on the 13th October and the other being my event. I will also attempt to complete a 110m Hurdles and a 200m race in the weekend separating the two 400m hurdles.
