Hey mate,
I’ve seen that time too but wasn’t that on the rankings from last year? I missed last year as I was focusing on finishing school so this will be my first year full time at it. I ran that time at a ANSW ‘permit meet’ at Blacktown a couple of weeks ago - which I’m pretty sure doesn’t count for rankings anyway cos theyre handtimed (the meet was timed by people from the crowd, and the time they gave me was 48.2 - which is how quickly I normally run through in on a 500 - but both my coach and my dad got me at 46.2 and 46.3 respectively so that’s what we’re going on as my training times would indicate that I’m in 45.4-46.0 form. It was also quite dodgy as it took them quite some time to come up with this time, so they might have missed it completely and just made something up.)
Thanks for your feedback on my injury - I think we will have to drop the tyre work - as you say it is fairly unspecific to the training objectives given my main focus is on the 400m. I think putting that at the end of my speed session meant I was already fatigued and would tend to shuffle off (think Matt Shirvington) the start rather than accelerate in a straight line, putting more strain on the adductors, especially because I am tall.
Have just had it assessed as ‘muscle overload’ in the adductor region - as oppose to a specific muscle strain - because the pain I am getting is fairly generalised and I still have full strength/ROM. Currently I am not taking any NSAIDs because I suspected a strain, however I have been told that this is OK from tomorrow to help it settle down.
