Meet Prep (July ‘05)
(originally posted 7/6/05)
I've noticed some drop-off in my training distances in the last day or so. I may need a couple of days of rest before Saturday's meet. Today I plan to do slightly fewer reps, but nothing above 80% effort. Tomorrow…maybe half of the normal reps at 80%. Friday, will be “shadow practice” only. This routine doesn't equate to a full taper, but then the meet on Saturday is more social and less competitive than most.
Looking ahead, my big problem is going to be spending too much time away from throwing during the next three weeks due to family vacation plans. Maybe I can use that time to do some drills, stretching, and running so all won't be lost.
My discus ranking has now dropped to 24th.
