Comments: whenever I come out the blocks my left groin is always hurting, the ones on the curve were estimated with 33steps=10m then I rounded up to 100 steps for 30m. The curve has improved, straight was ok seeing as I’m horrible with the blocks, left calf hurting again and outside of my right hip into hamstring area is feeling tight. Massaged it a bit yesterday but I don’t think it really helped.

dynamics+static stretch

Comments: went out in 25 for the first one bad idea….felt I could have ran them faster even though I was struggling/dead after the last rep…I always seem to have that feeling. My groin into hamsting area is killing my legs feel done my calf was acting up so I didn’t want to try and test it by jogging the cooldown…thought I was getting over this but it seems to be back….

7/1/09
22:04 jog
all on the pavement or on the track on the track was a mile fartlek

Comments: my hamstrings were killing today my legs felt wrecked I thought this would help but my calf/ Achilles was tight halfway through the run and my knees were hurting from the start. I felt like there were patches and stuff in my hamstrings.

7/2/09
8:51 jog all on pavement
static stretch

Comments: about 4 mins in it started thundering so I ran home for my life tight calf, hurting knees and everything. I massaged/ put bengay on it but after it wore of it was even tighter. Lower hamstring area hurting too.

7/3/09
800m jog
dynamic stretch
2x40m
2x40m acc+40m float on curve
1x40macc+40m float + 40m sprint on curve
@ 95% in spikes rest 4mins
800m jog

Comments: didn’t have enough time to get full rest on longer reps because it was late. The starts felt better than as of late, one of the 80reps was poor relaxation wise, calf etc was hurting earlier in the day it seems like it hurts more when I do the higher volumes or I just don’t think about it as much during the speed workouts.

Comments: nothing special pace was suppose to be 50/30 but w/e for the pass week ive noticed it seems as if my left Achilles twitches as I walk up the stairs and there is a tender strand of muscle in between my hamstring/adductor area on my right leg which mostly acts up when im not running
