10/18/2017 0 Comments Week 5Week five and my goal is week is to have a good starting technique when starting off the block and learning how to strive through out the whole 100 meter. Last year Coach Hunt told me to start off strong, because when I did the 200 meter dash I always started off not going as fast as others. Then once I get around the curve I give it my all and that's what I did in the the 100 meter dash, that's why I need to learn how to strive through the whole event. So, that's why my goal this week is to learn how to strive through the whole race, and also to make sure I'm running off the blocks the correct way. I was taught how to run off blocks during spring track but I never really understood it so that's something I have to work on. And another goal this week would be to learn how to breathe the proper way while running. The video below is a video of me running my 200 event, I would always start off not running as fast and then give one hundred percent when I got around the curve. Coach Hunt said “You don’t want to start off slow, you want to start off fast; giving it your 100% because everyone is starting off fast and everyone is gonna end up getting tired getting towards the end of the race.” So, now I learned that I need to run as fast as i can at the beginning of the race, because everyone is going to end up slowing down. When staring off slow then going fast, makes me have more of a chance on coming in a place where I don’t wanna be. When starting off fast and then slowing down because of being tired that’s fine, I have more of a chance of coming in a place where I would want to be. Next week my goal is to practice starting off fast and then trying to keep a good pace. While i’m practicing that i’m going to see if my time improves, or doesn’t. But i’m pretty sure it’ll improve because not giving your all then pushing to give your all your time will be worse than trying and pushing hard the whole time. So that’s next weeks goal. Still drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods.
