went to chiro today for some minor work,friday will be a rest and ems day. last saturday my fastest time was 6.86 and this saturday i will have my third race of the yr.

ok guys another set back, sat i drove 90mins to the meet, felt great at the start of my warmup once i got to the final stages - starts and flys in spikes my left hamstring didnt feel very good but i continue to pound fluids/drills/starts and the hammy begun to feel good but i knew i only had one run in me and wanted to at least give it a go since i drove 90mins. long story short, i ran a whole 60m and it got call back because someone in my heat false started, so the second run i came out ok for about the first 25-30m but just didnt have that next gear and towards the end (40+) my left hammy knoted up and i had to coast to a stop. judging how the injury feel on day 2 i think i should be able to run next sat 23. this injury was major disappointment bc i had the perfect setup to pr fast mondo track felt like it was my today etc, looking back i had warning signs and probably shouldnt have raced but oh well, time to move forward.

Heres the game plan:
day of injury sat: rest/ems
day 1: sun rest/ems
day 2: mon rest/ems/upper
day 3: tue rest/ems

day 4: wed rest/ems/bike/lower/5min jog
day 5: thur rest/ems
day 6: fri lite acc work (200-300)/weights/ems/massage work
day 7: sat tempo
day 8: sun rest/ems
day 9: mon resume normal training

Sucks about your hamstring problems, but you’ll be back fine sounds like.

Good luck.

yeh i think it be good to go by next saturday, im on track to have a nice lower body day on wednesday where i should do 3x2x405 along pc and gh etc.

Nice, good stuff.

overall the hamstring is progressing very well, i decided to put my normal lower body training on hold till monday.

next few days:
thur: tempo
fri: acc/total body weights
sat: tempo
sun: rest
mon: normal training (meet week)

Wed:
Bike 10min
Jog 5min
bw squats 2x20

side med throws 3x15

Then you only do one run. Run negated due to FS? You’ve done your one run, that’s it. Your body doesn’t care that it doesn’t count, it did that one effort it told you it had. Half the athlete injury stories I’ve heard include something like “I felt something wrong but I decided to do just one more rep”. Let your body, not ambition or goal fixation, tell you when your hammie is ready.

Yes i did only one run but it didnt count due to the FS, you are correct i should have listen to my body friday nite and should have took the meet off. Hopfully i can recovery fast and without losing any form and finish off strong.

Also when i start back my training on monday it will be similar to what i did in the fall, which i hope allow to peak for my final two meets.

Well today was my first day back on the track and i did tempo runs, i wasnt able to push the runs at all. At this time I am still on pace to return back to racing next saturday, because the last hamstring injury i had was very similar and i didnt start to feel 100% until day 7-9 and im still on day 5. as of now everything is day to day, im sure i wont do the acc workout i had plan for tomm and will bump it to monday. most likely tomm will be total body weight room day with 10min bike and 20min incline tread walk and will take the weekend off and return to race week on monday.

first speed workout, it has been 9 days after the injury and im feeling really positive after todays workout. i will cont to ems+ice at least twice a day and hope good things can happen on sat.

Your pm box is full but all I tried to send is it looks fine(program) and good luck.

Only thing I might delete are the jump squats but if you have used them a lot in the past, with success, just keep them in.

First race back and i ran my fastest prelim time of the year but could only equal my fastest time of the yr in finals (6.86), overall i should be very plz bc a couple weeks ago my goal was to pick up where i left before the injury but after i ran the fast prelims time i wanted to pr but it didnt happen, overall im very plz with todays performance.
