Sprints

300 meters

49 seconds

100 meters

17 seconds
14 seconds
15 seconds
14 seconds

I decided to practice my 100 meters to see where I was at that point in a 300 meter sprint.

If I could keep a 14 second pace per 100 meters throughout the full 300 meters, that would be a 42 second 300 meter sprint, which would be awesome.

I realize that it is very difficult to keep up that pace for the entire time, but perhaps I could keep a pace of 15 seconds, which would yield a 45 second 300 meter sprint. I would gladly take that.

Time will tell, as it always does.

1.5 mile

11:43

I injured my ankle playing basketball on Monday, so this was the first real exercise I was able to do since.

Also did it right out of bed.

Felt winded rather quickly into it.

Not thrilled, but so be it.

Today was the last day of the ladders. My body is shot, and I had to do more rest-pause sets than usual to make it through the ladder. Definitely looking forward to the scheduled week off, though I will continue to play basketball and run.

The next phase of LRB365 starts in 12 days.

300 meters & Week 24, Day 1

300 meters

48 seconds!!!! (tried a new technique that I was taught by someone with sprinting experience) 

Deadlift

188/5, 228/4, 278/3, 298/2, 323/1, 333/1, 363/1, 323/5

323/1 & 333/1 went up fast, so I decided to try 363/1 and 323/5. 363/1 wasn't as fast, but it was never in question. 323/5 was a solid set. 

Ladder

Bodyweight Squat    5  10  15  20  25  20  15  10  5
Situps                       5  10  15  20  25  20  15  10  5
Chinups                    2  4     6   8    10   8    6   4   2
Pushups                    5  10  15  20  25  20  15  10 5

I'm not going to lie- I am glad that Thursday will be the end of these ladders. I won't miss them.

1.5 mile

Hot, humid, thick air day. Started to get winded during the 3rd lap.

Finished in 11:27.

Not too terrible....
