You know it, I’m back!!! Like I said earlier the 200 is a training run and will probably be done from a standing or 3pt similar to last years indoor 200m races. If I can hit low-mid 23’s I would be happy esp since I’m a horrible indoor curve runner. Last year I didn’t hit a decent 60m until I completed 2-3 200m races and 2-3 over distance speed sessions in the 70-80m range.
Goal:
60m: 6.75-6.80
Previous Best:
55: 6.52
100: 10.6’s (three times last year)
Last season indoor progression: (As you can see the first 3-4 meets were very similar in times)
2009 (Could have gone 6.4’s if it wasn’t for the hammy injury)
7.2 - 60m
6.69 - 55m
7.11 - 60m
6.72 (slow down 45m)
6.6 - 55m
6.52 (pulled hammy in finals)

The plan was to do the above workout but I was only able to do the first two 40’s because my hammy became really tight so I decided to cancel the reminding sprints, also the weather was low 40’s which didn’t help. I think my first workout back home with the cold weather and strong tailwind made my hamstring really tender for the reminding training sessions, over the past three-four days I have been applying ice and resting. I arrived home lastnight around 1am and perfromed a short 30min ems session.
Very good session, I felt a little stiff all over today but things should get better as I get back to work this week. I feel a little depress today which is normal when I go back home to visit family and then have to leave. If things don’t go through with the coaching job I’m gonna move back home so I can be closer to family. The plan is to still race on Saturday but I will drop the 200 to allow more recovery for the hamstring. I have a speed session on Wed and another easy tempo session on Thur.
It feels good now, I did all the 100’s in 15sec this morning which is normal for me but the true test will come Wednesday with the speed session. If I feel any tightness etc I will not run at all on Saturday…
The massage session went well and I will ice and use a flushing ems two more times today.
*After Friday session I didn’t have any soreness or decrease ROM.
Wed: (Ems+Ice) 250

I passed the first test, the runs felt pretty fast considering I got therapy yesterday and my muscle tone was low. I will continue to monitor the hamstring up until prelims on Saturday and if it doesn’t feel good at any point I will drop out. Thursday will be a very easy tempo session, Friday rest, and race/lift on Saturday.
