Programming

Well I've been working around the clock for the past week developing an online version of AVI's relationship development report. It was needed for a workshop in Dubai conducted by Jim Warner of OnCourse International.

Sprint training suffered as a result, however, I kept up my regular jogging. In fact Stephanie and I managed our longest and best jog (despite a lingering calf muscle strain from the last sprint training session -- the physio was right, you do need to keep the blood flowing through strains to heal them quickly) this year last Monday.

I've also been updating my main website adding links to some videos at the the presentations page.

Races

Last Saturday, I wore my new spikes for the first time in a sprint race since injuring my hamstring a few weeks ago in training. However, the spikes made no difference to my time, 11:25 sec -- exactly the same as the previous week.

I was really pleased with how I felt & went in the 800m -- best time this year: 3:29 min -- I'll keep working to get below 3 min.

Training

This morning training involved:

• 6 x practice starts
• 6 x 80m sprints with a 80%, slow, 100% pattern
• 1 x 300m sprint

I used my running spikes during the 60m sessions for the first time since straining my hamstring. No repeat of the previous problem.
