Well I only got diagnosed Late August but yes I am slowly getting better. Now although I’m getting spells of low energy Its never enough to stop me from training, unlike when I was undiagnosed I just felt like I wanted to die after I got out of bed, lol. Body changes? Hard to say, my tongue has gone from near completely white to red and I’m expected weight gain to become easier over the next few months. I only have had three races where I have had full energy, 10.83, 10.99, 10.60h when I felt the symptoms of celiac the worst I ran from 11.3-11.6 so yea its a big difference.

Felt good enough to be at 10.9x speed. Felt tired YET felt energetic. Weird. I am either going to move weights to thursday or just flag them all together for this week. Apparently my knee drive needs to come up another 1-2inches, which will allow me to acellerate faster and reach higher max v. So I worked on correcting that today, pretty pleased with technique.
Saturday’s races will be a 60m and 200m if I feel up for running fast.
Yes, although he wasn’t as quick as you. His 100m pb was 11.00. He is a naturally lean guy, who struggles to gain weight - however he lives on chips and baked beans!
Yea struggling gain weight is quite common in undiagnosed celiacs. You should tell him to stay away from baked beans, well atleast here they are packed with gluten :eek:
hands r freezing so this will be a poorly typed report lol

Just cold really I wish i lived in LA or somewhere warm. Oh and I’ve decided to do weights once a week LIGHT. As in 3 X 2 @ 60-75% until I’m out on exam leave ( three weeks from now). My body just seems to get worn down with school/track/weights/health recovery and other things.
Lol jesus christ I butchered my race today. They were only running the 100 so I just did that. I got 11.29, 2nd place lost to first place (11.21 rival). The wind was galeforce. I dont know what the wind reading was for our race but the race just before us had -4.4 or something crazy.
I stumbled out of the blocks, had to be the worst start of my career lol. Basically did not lean back far enough and when I cleared my back leg it went too far across. Then I had to correct myself for 10-15m. I got beaten out of the blocks by like 3 people LOL. I was not actually leading the race until about 40m! There was a false start, I got some negative thoughts in my head and was getting TOO nervous about the competition. My coaches comments on the race was that I lost about 0.2-0.3 from the shitty start, but my 15-100m was awesome. I think I did not even relax through the later parts of the race and therefore lost some of my dorsiflexion near the end…
even though I did so shit I’m laughing it off right now because if it werent for the -4 wind and the shit start thats WELL into sub11. Well it was good to get that race out of the way, heres where the real game begins…
as WRCortese said impressive considering all that. Good you can be so relaxed about it. Conditions here for 100m were near perfect 100m was something like +0.4
Thanks man had no idea you were following my journal Please feel free to comment/critique cause I’m taking all the advice I can get at the moment!
Yea I was quite nervous because it was my first competition in 6months so I had no idea where everyone else was at. I was not focussing on what I had set out to do. Despite performing so badly (just the start really…) this has done wonders for my confidence and I expect to be way more relaxed next race.
that is one of the reasons having shit weather first up is good IMHO you know you aren’t going to run a great time regardless of what you do. If you had perfect conditions and had a crap start running 11.3 or so then your confidence is stuffed, this way you have got the first race out of the way and can go for it next time.
I’m guessing you ran A grade, who won?
Cory Innes won here in 10.76, not bad for a 400m specialist
Yea agreed, -4 does not particularly help a thin guy like me lol. Was in grade A. There is a real lack of competition in the senior ranks now, seeing as T.M. has moved to dunners. Yea lost to my main competition from cbhs who did not get a great start but many times over better than mine.
Oh I also forgot to post in your thread but, congrats on the Sub65 :eek:
