Planned a 3x300m speed session with Jon & Jim, in prep for the final 800m race of the season next Sunday
But before the
session, did a Bateman warm up - 5 or 6 x Keith Game Changer
Bare feet for the
game changer reps warm up
On the basis that
this is a faster warm up. Did feel very
good. The style is getting there now.
HOWEVER
3x300m session
starts, put spikes on.
In the first of the
300m speed rep, the gait totally fell apart - I could feel myself over reaching after
100m
But at least I can
feel it happening now - at least I'm aware of it
It's difficult to
snap out of it, and impose the right style again
I guess that's why
Keith recommends stopping running and starting again from scratch (page 40)
But as I was trying
to keep up with Jim & Jon, I could feel the bad
habits coming back
It's difficult not
to at these speeds
I did however, hold
style better in the second two reps
Especially the third
on in the final 100m, felt very good.
I think that I'm
going to have to do a Keith Game Changer session at least once a week, over
perhaps 150m, and hold the style religiously!!!
Bare feet stride on
the track before hand - you can really feel if there's a "scuff" on
landing or taken off.
That'll need some
getting used to. No impact though. Plenty of "come on Zola Budd" comments from friends though!
