So I am a bit curious about what the coaches and athletes here would do in my situation:
I started my general prep in August and went through 9 weeks perfectly–improved fitness, strength, flexibility, and speed. I then had plantar fasciitis flare up that eventually led to a rupture on 1/10/2009.
Strength and power levels are at their best ever and I was in sprinting PR shape even with minimal sprinting (30m training PR and PR @ 20-30m in competition w/ rupture).
At this point, it is hard to say, but it will probably be 10-12 weeks for a full recovery.
The questions:
-Do I attempt to run the outdoor season? I would probably only have 8-10 weeks total to run in competitions from the point it is healed and much of that time will probably require me getting back into shape…
-If I forego the outdoor season, what should the plan be for training? It is way too early to start a general prep for the next season, so…
Should be very easy, this season should be a wrap take 12-16 weeks to complete your rehab process and starting this summer go through a 6week general fitness/strength program while trying to resume normal gpp training by August.
I think all the non stop training could have lead to some of the problems you are having now, 6 weeks of pre gpp, 8 weeks of gpp, 10-12 of spp, short indoor season, short outdoor season, summer training etc etc.
haha, shaman and sharmer - Tamfb got confused by looks of it??
i would take the advises given so far,and add - what caused the rupture? something would have caused it to happen, then learn from that so it dont happen again in the future
