Day 209: Power Speed and Pure Speed (Hill Training)

singapore personal trainer

Disclaimer: By doing my workouts and blogging it online here, I’m not seeking attention, nor am I an exhibitionist. I’m the type that follow-through my training much better if I put it in writing. I workout because I can, and I love doing so. Do not try to emulate my training program, I bear no responsibility if you do so. I’m no role-model, not your papa, mama, your soulmate, or someone you can look-up to, nor am I’m a national athlete … I am just a NOBODY. So just leave me be.


Aaah this has been a painful week for me. I’m still in pain in the lower half of my body, especially my quads, and glutes. Just by squeezing my ass I felt as if someone kick my nuts!

With that warming up takes longer than usual, and I felt like I’m a senior citizen, at every attempt to sit down, stand, and walk, I felt as if my legs will buckle any time soon, the aching is horrible!

Well today’s training is speed. I learned it’s wise to do training that requires full effort early in the week. I find it’s alright to split gym days with speed workout. If you can’t train twice a day, in my opinion it’s alright to do it the next day, as you’re still ‘fresh’.

For training you need to be smart, you can’t always give an all-out full effort always. There should be a high and low. Today might be intense, the next day bring that intensity down. You’ll do a favor to your body by doing so.

I just love the training location today as I previously blogged. There’s so much space for me to play with. Since I had a rather long nap; being I’m totally exhausted, I arrived at the place later than usual training days.

There were more than usual joggers at the area. It was around 4.50pm when I started my training there. I began with some light jog and recce the field for potholes. I then proceed with some speed drills.

Workout of the Day

1) Dynamic Warmup

2) Some Drills

3) 2x15m Uphill Sprints

4) 1x80m Downhill Sprints

5) 1x80m unassisted Sprints on flat ground

The above 3, 4, and 5 in successive effort one after another
Full recovery
Doing 3 + 4 + 5 = One set
I did Ten sets break into two half
Each half took around 30 minutes,
In-between the two half, break for five minutes for recovery

6) Active Recovery

7) Stretching

With training, at each session, you must come out of it with some feedback on your performance so as to improve on the next similar workout.

Previous hill training, I find that I didn’t have a full recovery after each effort. So for today I added more time to the recovery period. I took maybe around 2-3 minutes of resting time after each dash.

With speed training, it’s always an all-out effort, so the recovery must always be in full. If you don’t, you then compromise your form and the workout goal.

For me earlier, when I was recovering, I walked around, took a sip of water, and did some stretches. Don’t sit down, I don’t really recommend that. By the way don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water, as it’s too late.

Well it was a good workout today, of course there’s still room for me to improve. My sprint technique is still horrible, and I’ve faith I would get better over time.

Since the training intensity for the past two days has been high, I’ll bring it down tomorrow with Tempo Runs. Hmm I’m still undecided on the specifics.

Good night ya all, as always be smart in your training!
