Silencer? Where you have been??

My training life has been quite an adventure lately, training with one of the national coaches in sprints and hurdles, and just recovered my...

Hi Angela, sorry it took me so long to respond ! I had a deadline and all my free time went into that.. (plus some sleep...) But it's sent.! (the sleep was lost forever though... :p )

The minute...

I had a "training-depression" yesterday and had a complete off day (that's big news, btw). :) Instead, I went on a 1.5hr walk, in which a caught a cold, and I've been coughing since (lovely !)
But...

Oh my goodness..

Quote of my day: "Escape. Escape." (this goes for me)

You're craZY =)

I did hills today. I love hillssss.
8x80m w/2' rests
6x60m w/1.5' rests
then a slightly downhill transformation of 200m where I nearly killed myself.
Abdominals.

Now I...

Best part was the 1x400g burger.

I did distance stuff yesterday, with the retired italian national champion in the 60m and his friend. I cannot believe how much fit I am this season doing this...

That's the fastest turtle I've seen -_-

I started the above drawing at 12 midnight last night and finished at 7am.. I don't know where the time went... Slept till 11:30am and then went for training:

I'm kind of proud of today's training (almost). Mostly because of the 'ease' that I felt, in 11 degrees Celsius, 88% humidity and drizzling:
6x150s w/2' rests, then 5' rest and then another 5x150s...

Today was cold weather training for me... (10degrees below medium temperature at this time of the year in Milan), 5x500m @ 1:40' (trainers), with 2' recoveries (ouch...) and then 6x100m fast relaxed....

.... Now I'm on my 2nd glass of wine .. Juggling with applications among North Carolina, Germany, Belgium, UK.... for post doctorate positions.

I wish the Mediterranean was richer!!
I wish...

p.s. ... I just finished my 12th espresso.

Nik, it's not "Dah!", but "Duh!" :D If you are going to maintain communication with me, for sure you must know how to use that specific exclamation correctly :P


To slowly "cruise into" speed...

Dear Silencer, Great to see another journal of yours, I feel like we've been growing up together athletically (and more), since we "met" in this forum years ago =)))

February 2010 !

We calculate wrong, Nick, after 2.5 years out.. my last one was indoors '10. Yikes. !

p.s. recent trainings that kind of show that I could have done better:
(going backwards):
Saturday: 6x200s w/2' rests @30" all
Wednesday: 3x300 w/5.30'rests @ 45,46,48
Monday: 500-300-200,...

Okkk I raced... =P (yesterday). It was the first (and only available) race I could have run before our July 14th Clubs' Championships, unfortunately on a 350m track, and Unfortunately in lane 1.. but...

Sorry ! I'll post again after I succeed in running my first race !!! (This coming Saturday)
(I've been having calf-problems, after my hammie issue).

I'll be back here soon.
