The world of Masters Athletics and the community spirit that it embodies never ceases to amaze … I ran in Sheffield last week and wasn’t overly impressed with my results. I won’t make any excuses or go into the reasons for the sub par performances, other than to say they taught me some good lessons, and gave me a timely kick up the backside.
However, since then a number of Masters Athletes, from far and wide, have contacted me with words of encouragement and urged me to stay positive … I have to tell you that I was blown away by this incredibly kind support. A huge thank you to those involved, you know who you are!
In other news this week :
- Sunday was a Technical Speed session with 8x40m Block starts at full pace.
- Tuesday was 150m, 300m, 150m, 300m at 90% effort with 4 minute recovery
- Thursday was 5x100m at 90% effort with 4 minute recovery.
- Saturday was 200m and a 400m races at the England Institute of Sport in Sheffield. (video below, not happy with performances but sharing as they are part of the journey)
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger !!”
Until next time …
