not efficient running, upper hamstring pain, left foot pain at impulsion. -> time for recovery
22 feb. --> 3 march
I’m not allowed to run for a period of time due to foot pain at upper hamstring/low glute pain while running. probably doing too much in gym, overreaching
bodyweight squats… hip mobility drills…foam roller… tennis massage… stretching… deep tissue massage… chiropractor as recovery
3 march national championships, i’ll run the 60 and 200m. Hope my foot and hamstring will be recovered by then.
[u]national junior indoor championships
[/u]New PB’s:
60m: 7"23
200m: 23"14
disappointed… very tiny improvement despite increased leg flexibility and first time ever strength training (6weeks). Expected much greater results, oh well…
4 march.
Training in park.
15m joggin, followed by dynamic stretching… 50 step ups… 20 push ups… 30 bicycle abs.
High Knees on hill, 3x40m Hill sprint.
3x10 Multi Jumps on hill with 20m run up: 22.90m and 2x 23m. Very bad. PB is 25m10.

thur 8 march.
3x500m - DISASTER
couldn’t run well because of hamstring pain and foot pain.
REST for a few weeks, i’ll be using EMS to keep strength gains though.
sat. 17 march
still injured… tomorrow deep-tissue massage for the first time
I don’t know what to do about the foot pain though.
sunday 18 march
deep tissue massage. massage therapist said I lacked flexibility in my hips and other areas. He said he’s pretty sure once I loosen up my hips the hamstring pain will go away.
tue. 20 march
foot is getting alot better now, but the hamstring is healing slowly.
interesting to note: Today I tested my vertical jump (3 steps run up) and it increased by 3-4 inches, last time I tested was 2 weeks ago and i’ve been off training since then. (i did cycling during these 2 weeks though)
With the training load dropping off due to your injury, it’s not surprising that your vertical shot up.
It’s great to hear that your foot is getting better- I had a foot injury and it was very slow to heal!
Monday 26 March.
Hamstring getting better and better, foot aswell (though it feels like my ankle got really weak) I was able to do some strides today without problems, but I won’t be sprinting for a few more days though.
In the mean time, magnesium & calcium supplement, core and abs strengthening, flexibility etc…
I’m going to see a physiotherapist tomorrow, let’s see what he has to say.
Tuesday 27 March.
Appointment with physiotherapist: He said my hamstrings are very tight and I need to incorporate some dynamic hamstring stretches and eccentric movements before each training session. He checked my foot, told me my feet are very sensible as my bones are '“close to the skin”. He told me I had to buy a Forefoot cap - a textile cover for sensible feet - and so I did.
I should be able to train now, tomorrow first training in a long time, just some strides etc, no sprints.
Thursday 29 March.
Just got back from track, was my first training in a long time. Long warm up, hamstrings especially.
4x30 strides, 70% 80% 90% and last one 100%
30m - 3.84
60m - 6.84
100m - 10.91
I know manual times mean nothing but I’m pleased with them since I haven’t trained for a month.
Also the last 30m of my 100 i felt a discomfort in my butt which caused me to slow down considerably, yet managed to run a PB manual time (10.95 previous)
I’m so happy I can finally train again, and I’ll take it slow from now on.
