Short, fast & loads of tail wind!

Was it just windy in Werribee or was it all of Melbourne and quite warm & humid too...


No change to the set session, just a location change, instead of finishing on the finish line I had the reps finish on the 200m line so we had a strong tail wind! Tonight's plan was 4x150/4x120/4x100 with an approx 2 min break between reps and 3 minutes between sets. Quality and moving fast was the call for the group of seven, starting in small groups with me tailing behind and trying to reel them in.

My reps were:


  • 21.56 / 21.16 / 20.48 / 20.35

  • 18.21 / 18.08 / 17.83 / 18.01

  • 15.79 / 16.01 / 15.97 / 15.55


Three laps to warm up, lots of drills & then strides before the spikes went on, the cool down was cut short as I needed to chat with the President of Little Aths about some stuff and then parents.








The weapons used for these speed sessions...not the best spikes I have owned, but serviceable.

You were soft Stu - you should have had them running into the wind ;)

Nice speed there. I'd be overjoyed with one sub-16 100m out of blocks!

Not just Werribee - it's been weird weather over here too, warmish one minute, cold and heavy rain the next.
