4x60m with 4min recovery between each rep.
The Hype did’nt turn up, i could’nt be bothered phoning him. He went the oub last night, so maybe it has something to do with that.
MR.SHUMON
How are your times in practice comparing to what you did in the previous meet? The reason why I say this is as you well know if your not hitting target times in practice you pretty much won’t do it in a meet.
( Exception…wind, mech.problems etc.)
I would like to also say take your anger and throw it away and use that energy for your benefit; work on your mechanics ,techique, etc. in sprinting tell yourself you can be and do anything. Stay positive because anger is negative energy and it will effect everything you do on and off the track.
Keep at it.
MIKE NIKE
Yo man
Last time i was timed was two weeks ago, over a 100meter work out.
3x100m with 4min recovery i added 1 tenth to every recorded time, because it was handtimed.
and i was getting them in 11.02, 11.05, 11.06. My mate timed me on them, “The Hype”. Since then my watch broke, or the batterys ran out.
I currently train on my own, so i don’t always have someone there timing me. Its just how i feel.
To be honest ive only be hitting the speed hard for 3weeks.
“I might be competing on april 30th 100m, Electronic timing” this has’nt knocked my confidents at all.
I have to phone afew numbers, the organises of the meet, to make sure. Then hopefully my dad can give me a lifted down.
“am not reading to much inot that meet because a 10.9 guy was running 11.8, behind the athlete who won it”
am getting my body clock right, going to bed befor 2am, instead of 4am, this may have played a part.
I will redeam myself no problem.
May 2nd I LOOK to compete not April 30th there was abit of a mixed up. If i can get down there, its on.
I need to redeam myself. I think its electronic timing so, lets get it on.
Tuesday am gonna hit the track hard, and the same on thursday.
Then i will go the gym on Saturday, but also do afew short sprints 4x30m nothing big beform another hig intensity session.
Hey i have some bad news.
Well its my groin, its playing up again. I did plan on sprinting today, 6x100m. I did 4 reps, but could no carryon.
My groin hasn’t been totally 100% since when i last injured it, but it made abit of a comeback, i think it was the adductor that was injured. I got myself back, did exercisers and it made a comeback. But today, its more my muscle now. Its tight when i run, the whole of my groin.
I felt it on the first rep, but i got angry and carried on.
Sprinting aggravates it, but weight training i find does not affect my groin.
So and not gonna sprint for 4weeks, just strengthen my groin, weight train. (Because it feels very weak aswell). When i raced the other day, it was alittle bit tight, when warming up, but adrenaline kicks in and ya can’t feel it.
I was gonna race up in streford, on May 2nd, befor May 13th. BUt now this is not possible.
My group are training at the stadium tonight but am not going, they will be trainin down at “litherland” soon anyway, when the complex is finished there, so whats the point.
So that’s what i did today, i will go the gym tomorrow. I won’t post any of that sh*t though.
Am always confident, talk before i can walk, maybe am slightly in denial, am sorry. But i don’t know this time, its like in a boxing fight. Ive been knocked down afew times, but this time ive been knocked down and i don’t know weather am gonna get back up.
Am gonna try, but ive been hit hard this time. That race the other day, was the right hand, today was the left uppercut, and am down.
Am gonna try, lets hope that in 4-5weeks time, am back. Talking about women, and how f*ucking good i am.
Its a comeback now, am gonna go to Chruch tommorow and light a candle and say a pray about everything in life.
bye

5sets of 10reps 115kg.
Bench press 4sets 85kg 3reps
Military press 3sets 60kg 3reps
Lat pull down 2sets 6reps.
Am gonna do something i have never did befor, write out a programme for 4weeks, because week 1 has already passed.
My glutes, and sore today i think this si good. I will have 2DAYS Recovery.
On may 13th, i may shock afew people. It won’t be a sprint event, but i feel i could have a flash from the past.
I see how i feel coming into that week, i ight do a long jump.
I first ever Area Medal was from the long jump. When i was 11years old. still a young boy.
I jumped 5meters. The last time i jumped was when i was 15, i had one jump in a comp, jumped 5meters 80. Then was not allowed to carry because i was a known scorer in the comp.
I know i could of jumped 6.20 there abouts.
I don’t do long jump training, but i play allot of basketball well, use too. And i beleave i could step in and take this comp. I think close to 7meters could do it.
But am not sure yet, am concerntrating on strengthening myself big time.
Hi yeah ive been thinking about shocking afew people and competing at Long Jump very very soon.
I haven’t started sprinting yet, still just strength work in the gym.
i have changed my weight TRAINING this past week.
Pause Squats 2sets 6rep 100kg. I pause for 3seconds at parallel then Boom, blast back up.
Speed Squats 90kg 2sets 10reps of pure speed.
and also on Thursday am gonna add a new exercise, one-legged Hops. But holding a Dumbbell, both hands holding the dumbbell.
15kg Dumbbell
3sets for distance and height, pure explosiveness. My groin feels fine, ive been down exercises, for it.
Yeah Bench 4sets of 85kg 3reps. (If you count the bar, then its about 95kg something like that)
Groin!!!
You see i don’t like using the adductor machine, you know that machine all the women use. So i just came up with my own variation.
Just a door in my house, i open it, yeah that’s right. Put my foot against the door, with my left arm push out, and with my leg, push.
I hold it for 30seconds, and repeat afew times. And it is helping. I knew something was wrong with the adductor or whatever it is called; because when i was swimming and doing breast stroke, my legs where very weak, the leg motion leg a frog, pushing inwards.
This was affecting my started when i sprinted, but when i could into my sprinting i was ok, but there is no room for mistake, so it needed to be fixed.
7years ago, i was Silver medalist, now ive decided to come back!
You’ve been talking about coming back to training for a while-- so when are you going to start up Mr. Cool? Also, yes you do count the bar weight when you lift.
Long jump eh? Good luck!
read back i competed on 22 April, but i was injured still having Groin problems. But i had to go out there to prove that am not scared.
Also my stadium track is open now, re opened in March of this year. (This year has been hetic, i havehad enough of the sport, am only still in it, to prove afew people wrong.
Since April 22nd then i have stopped sprinting, because it aggravated my groin, and i have just been weight training, and doing pacific exercises for my groin.
I plan on coming back soon, i did’nt plan on competing til June 1st, because it will take time to build the sprinting back up. But now i think its a opportunity to do a long jump.
Its been 7years since i longed jump in a comp, and that was my first Area Championship Medal Silver.
its hard, am my own coach, but i do what i want, the word team don’t mean anything to me.
This alittle update.
My nexted post has ot be performance, plain and simple.
No more talking about the struggle, the strive, the difficulties.
quick talk about training, listen am doing all that is possible, for me at this time inthe year.
It will be a performance, that will change afew people. in afew weeks.
i will not let myself down.
its over.

Hi
I will tell you little story
Well it’s not my life time best, but the one am most proud of, and how i was born into this sport.
And why i still fight today, to bring back “the Kid”.
Back in primary school straight out of nursery, i was unbeaten in every sports day, until i left school. Every event, i would win, every year.
I have Certificates every year.
My mum used to work in the Nursery. When i left the school i was presented with a special certificate for the best sports man.
My Mum told me, there has never been a kid like me since.
When i was in year 4, i would beat people in year 6.
Each year, you would have the big schools, Championships, all the schools.
I would always do the 100m. When my older brother who is 3 years older would be there, i would win, or my mum.
But soon my Brother left primary School, and my Mum could not come and watch me.
I would cry on the starting line, because i was scared. (I don’t know why, only at the schools i would do this).
There was some guy Shane, from another primary close by my school. He won it in year 5.
Year 6 unfortunately the schools champs got canceled. I was gutted, because i was angry i can remember, i was embarrassed because i cried last year,
But i was walking home from school, and i went the sweat shop, got some sweats, and began to walk home again.
I hear someone shout
“Oi am faster than you, you cryer baby”
it was Shane, we where both in or school clothes. We both had the same hair cut, “fro on top, short on sides”
I mean i was a vicious kid always fighting on the way home, anyone who annoyed me, or anyone i didn’t like, bit of a bully, but had to be that why. Once i beat up my mate, who i am still mates with today, because he had two lollipops.
A White one and a Brown one.
He said “look heres me, and heres you, the brown one” and gave me the Brown Lolli pop, nice of him like.
But I did not shine to this very nicely, i smashed the Lollipop on the floor.
Maybe another day i would of laughed but that day no, i was not happy with what he said.
So i beat him up, beat him up.
left him crying in the street. Beat him up a number of times.
Like when he came back from Holiday, and said he has a tan, and is nearly as dark as me. Everthing was alright that day, no trouble, until he said that.
Again i did’nt shine to his comment, i was’nt laughing, he meant no harm like.
So i beat him up, i was doing Karate lesson at the time, i done, some moves on him, i jump from a tree on his head. My mate who i am still mates with was watching, becasue we where camping out. I actaully enjoyed beating him up.
one time
Because he had Nut crackers in class, and was cracking open Nuts, from some activity, he anoyed me all day, because they where his Nut Crackers, he was the teachers pet.
On the way home he actaully attacked me he hit me in the eye, by the garage on the why home, i can remember.
I think he thought it was his chance to get me back, because he had a weapon.
Big mistake, i beat him up, against the railings, and his older sister ran over and jogged in. So i beat her up aswell.
But i knew a fight wasn’t gonna settle this.
I asked Shane him does he wanna race me.
There are three Schools, very close to each other where am from. So there where loads of kids in the streets.
People began to shout, that we where racing.
Kids lined the street, from all schools.
I will never forget, on two sides of the street there where kids in a line, the race was to the lamp post.
It was neck to neck all the way, i just edge it, after the race. I just shook his hand.
“I saw Shane the other day, he is up to no good, dealing, etc he went to a different High School, Close by”
In High school i still did athletics, but i was never the same, everyone was like man beast, so i did boxing, and in year 11 made a come back.
I was Lazy, and only turn up to train when i felt like. Until two years ago, i was reborn again, and turned up to training more.
I do not, love the sport anymore. I only train, because i must, leave this sport, i cannot let me go out like this. I know deep down, that this may be my last year.
Because i just don’t love it anymore. And it makes me sad.
great story I enjoyed reading it.
APPOINTMENT WITH “DOCTOR”
Hi
Of late, I raced on June 27th, done terrible, just gave up at 80m to far behind. I trained good since May 27th, when I walked off the track, and could not train no more, because my groin was too tight. Well I rested for 2weeks, done abit of jogging light tempo, you know to get in shape, then I hit the speed work. You know I said, to myself, and you people, you seen video, you heard my voice, saying I will be back make you understand “I am the man” I said it with intent.
I don’t like admitting stuff when am down, or hurting. My mum is up early tomorrow to phone the doctors, I went in her room just now, to say, that I need to see a doctor, I don’t like it because I don’t like showing weakness. Over my groin, I suspect that I have some sort of “sports Hernia”, it must be. This is since March it has affected me, always tight, and feels as if, there is lack of blood flow.
I was ashamed on June 27th, you know I am in denial, I will convince myself I am this and that, but there must be more to it, that night my groin, I felt tightness and pain, it was tight all day, but after I raced even more. I don’t accept the pain, I still trained the nexted day, squatted which I hadn’t done for 5weeks because of a slight foot injury.
I don’t really like going to doctors, I remember back in high school when I thought I had testicular cancer, I went the doctors, and it was a very traumatic stressful time, I still remember when I was crying telling my mum to take me the doctors. But later on I found out my “best mate”, had shared the same experience but was embarrassed to talk about it.
So tomorrow is the day.
If they have to cut me open with a knife, cut me open with a knife, I will bleed, I will feel pain, and I will laugh, because I don’t care no more.
Deep down I think it is a Hernia because my Groin has a bulge, its bigger than my left. Leave me with another scar from my life fantastic, experiences, and I will tell my children when I have them.
See this on my leg son, that’s Blood, sweat, and tears.
And its not over, in the gym am busting out weights like there out of fashion, The “woman receptionist” thought I was Harry Aikines-Aryeetey the other day, but more pretty.
Listen there’s people out there competing, enjoying athletics, fantastic, keep it up. All the best for your season, and life.
my brother reads this in work, who ever else, it ant’s over. I just got to see THE DOCTOR.
Yeah i just got back from the doctors, well am still not totally happy with the situation. I went down with my mum because she needed to pick up some drugs.
well i was’nt seein my Doctor, some other guy. Well i explain to him everything, how i feel, symptoms, what i think wrong. I have stopped anything that aggravates for about aweek.
I said is it possible it could be a hernia. I mean i wanted it sorted out, he didn’t examine me, he just said yeah this and this.
http://www.drugs.com/MTM/R/Robaxin_750.html
I have to take these 4times a day, two tablets.
http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100001957.html
Am just gonna put this on whenever i feel like. 2-times.
I told my mum, that am going the Hospital nexted week if i see no improvement. I have’nt got all year to sit about, taking drugs.
Am going the Hospital action emergency’s, i have noticed that one side of my belly, abdominals is swallow, but not really painful, maybe fluid, and my leg.
Am giving these drugs, 5-6days at max.
then am going down to Action emergency’s, don’t care if your have broken your arm, have concussion, move out of my way.
thank you.
bye.
am going asleep.
Yeah ive just got off the phone with my old training partner, JT. Saying that he missed me yesterday at training. I haven’t spoken to him since April, long time ago, when i just turn up at my track in the night.
They where at the new track down at Litherland last night.
He said its time for the Dream Team to get back.
There where all other groups there, the whole club, middle distance, Sprint group from Edgehill, long jump all that sh*t.
Jay was saying he can’t believe am not number 1 sprinter, my training group was doing 300’ 200’s. JT “The Original Machine” was dropping them hands down. he’s got the belief back he will go sub 1.50sec 800m, nexted year.
He said the other training groups, from Edgehill where scared. Just watching from afar.
He said i need to go down show my face, i tried to wiggle my way out of it because am very lazy, but another training gonna pick me up if possible. I mean i trained down in the Ghetto, these other athlete from edghill don’t have a clue.
Am gonna go down listen am number 1, just to show my face, i won’t be sprinting until my groin is 100%, i put the gel on, but its not powerful enough am gonna get more tablets the tablets the doctor gave me, are gay i don’t think he understands what he is doing, does it look like i want to relax.
buy my own tablets, f*uck the NHS, GP’S.
hopefully july 29th, and i will return on on track in July 29th.
The Dream team
JT is now contacting “Big Bad” who is in Manchester Uni" to return. I haven’t trainned properly with these guys since last Summer, too long.
I have realize how arrogant, and stubborn i am.
i was crying with laughter down the phone.
Am going back.
It will be emotional living my track, i will train there on weekends, i will get pictures of me on the legendary track! soon will be rip up, for Everton’s football club new stadium.
I will have my top off, and making Love to the Track.
Alright
Am just gonna cut to the chase, sorry its over, season and me with this, 90% written out of the game.
Well I wanted to compete on the weekend Mid-Lancs, in Blackpool 26th.
Since June 18th of this year, I think, I have been training down at Litherland, instead of my home track by myself, trained at Litherland for about 2weeks but soon got annoyed with it.
I would never of turned up to there, if my X-training partner would not of phoned me, telling me to come back.
Because they have a new stadium, and everyone’s under one campus. So I turned up for the bit, did what I did.
I would get a lift off another training partner, 10min journey. Sometimes off my dad.
But my dad works away, and my training partner went on holiday.
So I stopped going. I could of got the bus, could of even ridded my bike down.
End of the day, am not sitting on the bus for 20mins, when I can walk for 5mins and train at my home stadium, walking distance.
My “groin injury” I have finished taking the muscle relaxants, and Ibuprofen, which I was given beginning of June. Just before I competed on August 6th Litherland Mid-lances meeting. “terrible weather horrible”
My Groin had , still not improved, very tight on bends, and looked bloated, fluid.
Stop weight training everything, a month before that.
Did the 200m, and 4x400m on 6th, at Litherland. Bend was horrible, my groin just to tight, at 150m I started to just cruise because of it, 25.1sec. Didn’t come last , all I could do is laugh.
“I talk so much in training, I thought I was gonna dropped 22sec”
But really I was only able to train because of the muscle relaxants I would take, I would take them after training. When usually with a Groin injury, tightness is after the exercise.
“but when I popped, 4000g Methocarbamol/Robaxin of, my groin would ease right up”
I ran out of Muscle relaxants that week 4days before August, I was overdosing on them, on training days. I made sure I would not take them, in the morning, because they make you tired. My Groin tightened right back up soon as I stopped taking them, you see I would take them throughout the day on Non training days, massage my leg aswell.
relax, go asleep.
4x400m
I ran Liverpool Pembroke, as a guesst.
I did third leg, relay only two teams in it, took over the team infront think I may have ran 53sec, just hand the baton over in first place to Donnie, then I knew it was game over.
We won. But really it was not possible.
“Yes I get kicked off the dole on August 31st, because I go to Uni”
“I am opening a student account and getting a Loan off the bank”
I told people I can break my 100m Pb, sent my coach a e-mail just saying, my body can only handle 100m.
Fluid has gone from my Groin, I have been wearing a compression sock, two of them. And going on walks on Non training days. Am 11stone 6, just slight, did sprinting nothing else.
Its just pissed me off, everything, I can’t hack it no more.
“Through the winter am going back to Boxing, at my home stadium, got all my gear today, Sparring gloves, and heavy bag ones, its pre season, so am gonna fight aswell, abit of variation”
I have not got the motivation to train in athletics, am flat. This year has done something to me, everything. Even the fan the pundit I use to be, I really don’t care anymore not interested.
I wanted to compete on Saturday, but don’t think its gonna happen. I have received no phone call, off coach or anyone. I haven’t been down there for afew weeks anyway.
So fuck it, two words couldn’t put it better.
I told one of my training partners I cannot, put up with training through winter not achieving anything, don’t care if we have a new track. Mentally the process of being at the track will annoy me, for months on end. Am really interested anymore.
11.6, 23.8, 53. I apologies, I didn’t break one. So I have to go for another year, am going to do athletics at Liverpool Hope next year some time maybe, and Next year, Sign up for Liverpool Harriers, or Liverpool Pembroke second claim. I think the University, users Wavertree stadium, around January I will start having a bash, once aweek.
Tomorrow, I will to boxing training, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday.
Open a Student Account, get some money.
Sunday “Matthews Street festival” getting smashed, life is going down the drain. Also, refreshers week at Uni, let women know, that am Inducting this year.
I want to fight cause am angry, and I got afew scores to settle from when I used to Box in high school. Mentally it will help me, there a plan.
ninjitsu martial arts through winter, one day aweek. I am Brown Belt in Karate, from when I was a kid. My mate who is into Martial Arts, wants to start it up.
Ive been on the dole for 8months, injured, arrogant.
Am f*ucked.
Wavertree
Streford
Litherland
All I can do is laugh. I would like to say, anyone still in this game, giving it 100%, all the best, congrats if you broke a Pb this year, fighted through injury.
Take care. When I fight I will write in down in here.
