Well then. When I do well sprinting I can always feel it, there's this sort of tightness in my whole body, I just feel like everything is pulling in the same direction, I feel more compact and less like my limbs are flailing about, if that makes any sense. I knew I had set a new PR on the 13.88 run. Then the next one, when I got to the 80m mark which is where I usually slow down a tad, I just willed myself to actually speed up, and my hamstrings almost cramped. Great run. The next one I was feeling a bit gassed, and then my times trailed off. I can always tell the run on which I completely run out of energy. It was the 14.32 one; my legs just felt.."empty" that's the only way I can describe it. I feel like I'm pushing off the ground with such force when I'm doing my first few, but then afterward they just feel hollow when I run, like there's no pop in the step. Any one of the five timed sprints here would have been records even yesterday.
I did 800m and then stopped since I'm not conditioned enough for a full 1000m all-out. Next week I'll probably be ready. Definitely starting off better this year, even though I didn't get a chance to sprint really in February, I was doing it much later into the winter this year, and that helped a lot I believe. So to finish off I did broad jumps into the sand pit. I'm going to track those records separately on my records page; it's different than doing it in my gym, I'm landing on sand, plus from where I'm taking off, it's about a 1" dropoff into the sand-pit, so that probably adds an inch or so onto the jumps.
