SEASON REVIEW
Season went good and bad. It was good because I was able to improve my 400 time even though it is way below my potential based on my 100m time. I didn’t get to run a 200m to test my time which is really what I wanted to improve. I got a lot of little injuries some I don’t know what from and some got worse because I ignored them and trained through them. I have a little ocd problem with finishing a set but I will have to work on that next season. I need to be more organized with planning the upcoming season and spend that extra time, make that extra time for rehab/recovery and take care of myself better so that I don’t get hurt or re-injure myself. Already I’ll be going into the next season with some limiting injuries like my shoulder-pec area, and my side spasm, which will really limit my upperbody work. My groin, hip and calf are reoccurring problems too. I was glad that I was still able to run a sub 11 with the injuries and time that I had to take off. I would have been more pleased if I ran 10.7 but I’ll have to settle for 10.8 and hopefully next season I can go 10.5 and beyond. I don’t know if the volume, long season, shoes, practice surface or what caused me so many problems this year but I do plan on upping the volume and lowering the intensity for GPP and continue the acc dev work like I did this season but the unpredictable training in the winter/early spring makes it really hard to plan beyond gpp. I need to get stronger and stay healthy I think the fact that I did more speed work at the end of the season helped me to be able to still run decent times despite time off and injuries. Need to sleep better and get my life off the track in better order so that it doesn’t affect my training. Goals for next year – 6.9-7.0x,10.5,21.4-21.5,50.X
