So my sprint bag and bike are in the car and I am just waiting for my breakfast to go down a bit then I will head to the track and start marking out my sprint lengths. I am thinking for now as my issue is more my 2-5 pedals I will stick to 5 m and 10 m sprints for now (roughly 15 ft and 30 ft roughly) to work on my acceleration. Once that is better I will then move to 25 m and 45 m sprints to work on my sprinting as a whole. There is no point doing the longer sprints at the moment as that will not help my acceleration as much as shorter sprints.
Today I will aim for 10-15 15 m Sprints then Thursday I will do 10-15 30 m sprints to get my base times then I will train 15 m sprints on Tuesdays and 30 m sprints on Thursdays for all of April then I will see how my times have changed and then go from there!
Unfortunately my bmx helmets are all in my car which is at my parents house as well as all of my other kit so I will have to use my mtb helmet which may be a good thing as I will be able to use my ear pods to listen to music while I train. The MTB helmet should also be OK to use on the track as well if I decide to ride a bit after sprints too! Unfortunately my wrist guards are also in my car so I will have to ride without one today so I may not go on the track after all!
After a couple of Weeks I may add another sprint session on Saturday morning and do longer 60 m sprints so I will be doing 5 m sprints on Tuesday and 10 m Sprints on Thursdays then 45 m sprints on a Saturday then I work all distances.
So things didn’t go as planned with the timing system or the sprint block as I am too heavy for the sprint so it slips to the bottom without me getting clipped in and the timing system kept starting on its own so it was basically useless as well 🙁
It did look good but that was about it!
As the equipment was basically un-usable I did 12 x 5m sprints with 2-3 minutes rest in between and then called it a day. I tried riding the track but it was super windy so I packed up and headed home!
