It was a windy day, it had rained today, but it had stopped a few hours before workout. The grass was a little wet, the warm up went ok, focused on slow proper mechanics rather than full speed with form, the first run was ok, but there was still slipping, the second and third some slipping but not a lot. The fourth was ok and when resting after fourth, I was resting until; since I run on football pitch through goal, I saw people approaching with some football equipments, I thought they were stopping at near football pitch as they approached near I was getting suspicious, so I stood up and and I saw they with nets in their hand about to cover goal, so I ran last rep, full of adrenaline, felt fast because of adrenaline, but don't know if I was fast, but as I was half way, they had covered the goal, so I had to run, turn slightly so I run past the outside of the post, it was a good run nevertheless and last rep and was finished, less shin pain then before, but pain still there.

what would you do if you had to a running session like 100-200m and it was on grass but the grass is slippery, because it is raining.

you can't give 100% as that will result in major slipping

It was a cold windy day again so brought my coat out, which I will have to make it a habit to bring. The day got better, less windy and some sun. The warm ups went well I have also removed tuck jumps and added leg cycles. The first run for the first time felt relaxed as if it was properly stretched and loose, maybe because of the leg cycles or removing tuck jumps. The second was not good as I thought of relaxing and over thinking. The third was back to good runs again, I figured out that previously I was leaning forward and looking down at the start but is not necessary as I am on a hill and that slowed me down so I decided to instead when i run I should look ahead slight lean while looking ahead and worked like a charm and fourth was OK and last one was best as I made sure to give my best on it and it was good.

It was a windy day, which gradually got warmer later on. The warm ups went OK, left out calf jumps warm up, only did calf jumps right before the run, the first run was good, although it was first run, which was expected to feel new to it, but later on the run it got better and the run was fast as well, if ignore the new feeling but concentrate on running, the second was was fast as always just as the third one, which there was a little stumble, which I controlled all the way through, fourth one was slowest run today and last one was a bit better but not as fast as first three, it must be that stage where my body as adapted to that speed, now I just get faster and then work on that before my body adjusts to that. My left quad is very sore, the leg I have in front at the start but other quad is also sore. had to do calf stretches in between to control shin pain.

It was a windy day, seems like winters coming early, the warm ups were good, I had to do it in my coat, but the runs were without my coat. As usual the first run feels different as it is the first run and therefore feels slow, but the second, third, fourth and fifth all were excellent runs, which was a first, as I have stopped doing 4 and 5 together also I have decided to leave out calf hops, as I do them before I run same with tuck jumps, but calf jumps hurt my shins and therefore my shins are paining before I have started running and it gets worse after every run. might keep tuck jumps and light calf hops before every run.

Right, I forgot you're (still) running on the hill. I always stumble occasionally on the hills. Don't worry about it, but more importantly, get to a track! Need to start training on the track occasionally. If I were you I'd take the train to the nearest track next session and do a few timed/filmed runs over 100m and 200m just for a bearing on where you are at.

Thanks. I will see if I can get to a track, most of these are private tracks so you have to pay to use it. I will try to get to a track nevertheless. I will also need someone to record me.

during some of my runs I sometimes stumble and yesterday I stumbled so badly, this is where my right leg tangled up somehow and I think the way it occurs is when I run, I run to fast for my leg to catch up, that my lower body is trying to catchup with the upperbody and If it doesn't It would cause me to fall forward; hasn't happened yet, slowed down to control everytime or my legs cycle too fast it probably strikes behind centre of mass or nearly misses striking the ground by striking ground behind and causes stumbling, wondering if you ever experience something similiar and how you changed your form to counter it, I was thinking of maybe consciously bring my knees high when I run as well as my arm swings.
