2009-2010 Track Season

Where are you going to compete?

Feel better dude!

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
Warmup C
2x20 3pt
3x70 Roll In
hh 3x5
gino x3
pc 3x2x70%, 3x2x75%
bp+pullups 5x4+5x6

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.

How much of a roll in are giving yourself for those 70’s?

Couple meters (2-3).

That’s what I thought. Just curious.

Should it be longer?

No, I would think no longer than 5m. I know you know that.

Thur: ems 600
Warmup Z
6x100 14-15sec

How’s your hammy feeling? Do you think you’ll be good to go this coming weekend

How’s your hammy feeling? Do you think you’ll be good to go this coming weekend?

I told my friend last night “game time decision”. The hammy felt good today, I tried to take it easy on the turns. Gonna ems twice and ice three times day.

good idea. hopefully you can race. you never know because meet conditions and such are so much different than workouts.

The past couple weeks my body has been so dry, similar to last year when I injured my hamstring. Even if I run I don’t know what to expect from a result stand point.

I lefted right after prelims so I am still waiting for results to be posted.

Did you still run. How was the hammy

Keep us posted!and do not hurry races…your schedule has plenty…recover 100% then go for it!

I tweaked my hammy Jan 1 and was only able to do one speed session in 2 weeks, for my first meet I was flat and the hammy still wasn’t 100%.

Jan 1: Tweaked hammy
Jan 9: 7.09

After the injury we decided to increase the training volume for 4 weeks before tapering because I needed the extra work before heading into my big meets.

Jan 23: 7.02 and 23.59 (3pt 200). My body felt good but nothing like last week, my right groin has been tight for about two weeks now and today it made me weave all over my lane (kept pulling me to the right). Doing prelims the guy next to me DNP, I was weaving all over the lane, and I misjudge my lean at the finish. Finals I still had the same issues with my groin and it kept pulling me towards the right of my lane and finals started 30mins later then the scheduled time slot.

Overall I feel good with how things are going, I just need to execute my race and things should fall in place.

Tons of stiffness today, the next two days will be recovery.
