One shot:
50m breaststroke: 46.00s (pb)
50m front crawl: 38.11s (pb)
My hamstring tendons pain got worse. At first i thought it was just DOMS but it looks like it’s more. I’ll use EMS on calf and lower hamstring, hot/cold packs… if it doesn’t get better physiotherapist again
Wow it’s been a while since I updated this journal… I had gotten lazy
In this period I didn’t do too much, swimming once or twice per week, this time with friends so it was never really a workout. At the gym couldn’t lift heavy weights due to my ankle so did mainly bodyweight exercises
My ankle is feeling much better now but I wouldn’t say it’s 100% healed, woah slowest recovery ever.
2x30m at 100%. I feel powerful in the acceleration phase, certainly due to the weight lifting sessions
My ankle started hurting a bit after both runs so I decided to call it a session. Appointment with physiotherapist tomorrow, will go get a kinesio tape
I hope the pain goes away by Saturday, i’ll be running first leg of 4x200 relay
I ran first leg, felt quite good during the whole run, especially after 50m. 2nd leg ran it well but collapsed with the 3rd runner so we lost alot of ground
I’m still awaiting the video, curious to see how my form was. Will post it too
The ankle is recovering slowly, had not too much pain at the warm up and during the run. I ran with an ankle strap though. But after the run I had some pain, went away with ice…
200m: 22.76 (PB) previous one was 23.14 from last year.
My acceleration was pretty good, but I had trouble transitioning to full speed as usual. Last 50m were better than usual. Will upload vid as soon it’s up
Tried few block starts over 40m but ankle couldn’t handle it, so went to the stairs and did some exercises on it (ie running as fast as possible up the stairs)
My acceleration was pretty good, once upright I could feel pain in my ankle and by the 45m mark I slowed down considerably. Was able to keep up with the winner (7.04) till the 40m mark so I know 7.10 is a distinct possibility.
