All I gotta say: I’m thankful for all my injuries, because they led me to another outstanding individual on earth: Jay Schroeder
I’m posting a poll, if you have been keeping up at all with my journal, please vote!
(you can pick more than one answer, if needed)
A) Do whatever does not cause pain (isos, weights, drills, swimming), until you can run free again. (p.s. been doing this since February, btw).
B) Stop whatever you have been doing, can’t you see it has not worked? Take it out on painting and violin, until you are able to physically run free again.
C) Why on earth do you still want to sprint? “If you were a race horse, you’d be shot long ago” (John :rolleyes: )
D) Take up a different sport. Obviously track does not want you.
E) It is all in your head. Just go out there and train like before.
F) I think you have issues. Good luck.
G) Follow your instincts. Do not listen to anyone but your own voice.
H) Other. (?)
Thank you :o

Do what you enjoy and makes you happy, enjoy the process.
BTW I never said the first part of C.
If it is any consolation people have said to me
at least you give it a go, you’re cannon fodder :rolleyes:
Do whatever makes YOU happy - so G would be my answer
No, you didn’t, just the part in the quotes, which was said jokingly =)
Thank you.
I’ll have to go with option F… 
Damn you !
Edit: Never mind. John already said what I wrote.

Sort out your current issues first. Those who have seen you will tell you how, I am sure.
generally the people with the most issues are those who don’t think they have any 
Haha well said.
The Doctor Says the Pain Is in Your Head: Don’t Believe It!
Among those with chronic injuries, athletes included, too many are accused of being psychosocial cases. The pain is in the head -just toughen up! Many physicians using inappropriate approaches get frustrated with the lack of positive progress and begin to blame the owner of the chronic injury -suggesting that they are not trying hard enough or they are mentally weak and therefore, succumb to pain. The evidence shows that psychosocial components are involved in influencing how an individual will express pain behaviour. But only biomechanical overload can cause tissue damage, psychosocial factors do not directly damage tissue. However, once the damage has occurred, pain behaviour is modulated by psychosocial factors. But how can these factors be addressed? Teasell (1997) argued quite convincingly that while psychological factors have been cited as being causative of pain and disability, in fact, psychological difficulties arise as the consequence of chronic pain and disappear upon its resolution. He uses the example of the highly paid and intrinsically motivated athlete who is unable to play due to a chronic injury. The inability to play is costing him millions. The evidence is compelling –real pain and psychological variables appear to be linked, but simply addressing the psychosocial issues will fail. Pain during the rehabilitation process impedes the establishment of healthy motion and motor patterns and pain is usually the result of a poor programme. It appears that too many of those with chronic injuries, who have failed to respond to conventional rehabilitation approaches or traditional training approaches are accused of not trying and worse yet, being mentally weak. Perhaps the medical personnel simply reached the end of their expertise –the failure more often being theirs, not the patient’s or the athlete’s. Address the chronic pain and the psychosocial issues will nearly always resolve. Any of us who consider ourselves tough-minded lose the mental will, when deprived of sleep through chronic pain.

Is training like an athlete (as opposed to just running) the best use of your time/energy/resources etc. ?
Thanks Nik, who wrote this though?
Yes Juggler, that’s actually a means of life. Good reminder.
