I’ll still post my training, it just wont be as track specific anymore.
For now (winter) I am going to try and get as strong (limit and elastic) as possible while keeping my weight around ~195 pounds. Aside from weights I am going to do strength endurance work and plyos as well.
Cheers,
Chris
ps- I might start running again in the spring when the weather gets better

I tried backsquats but was getting hip flexor pain on my right side. Very uncomfortable so I did fronts instead.
Here is the summary:
10 minute fartlek on treadmill
4 sets front squats (up to 205 for triple)
3 sets powersquat machine (similar to frontsquats) 450 for 5 reps with 2 second pause halfway
3 sets legpress (450 for 10)
3 sets SLDL (205 for 5 reps)
4 sets lying ham curl (130 for 8-10)
7 minute cooldown
Good workout, hip feels fine now. I used to do a lot of frontsquats and might start hitting them hard again combined with deadlifts.
