Disclaimer: By doing my workouts and blogging it online here, I’m not seeking attention, nor am I an exhibitionist. I’m the type that follow-through my training much better if I put it in writing. I workout because I can, and I love doing so. Do not try to emulate my training program, I bear no responsibility if you do so. I’m no role-model, not your papa, mama, your soulmate, or someone you can look-up to, nor am I’m a national athlete … I am just a NOBODY. So just leave me be. Today is Tuesday and it’s speed workout. Such training is usually an-all effort, but with my hamstring insertion issues, I’m reducing the intensity for self-preservation. The training log for today is earlier than usual days as I did the workout in the morning. I have an appointment in the evening, so that’s why. My only gripe doing training in the early hours is that I’m not a morning person. I’m all grouchy and stiff.
The good thing is, the weather has been really great the past few days. It was cooling, and there were plenty of cloud cover. That translate to me, not having to hunt for any shade anymore when I’m at the stadium. The downside, it’s a school holiday here. Students are having their one week break, and that means the stadium is ‘infested’ with kids training for their upcoming competition. So there’s a need to share the track, and at times that can be troublesome. Status
Workout of the Day
With my injury issues, that mean for speedwork, I can’t use blocks, nor wear spikes, do any hip flexor, speed drills and such. I’ve got to find alternatives that will activate my fast-twitch muscles without the hard impact. I did the best I could today to get my body moving, and so far it’s responding well. My muscle location area of problem didn’t give me much issue, other than slight strains. After training as usual I did the recovery routine, rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Plus the massage and hot/cold shower.
Looks like I’ve to content with training with half-effort for the next few weeks for my recovery. So that’s gonna suck. I’ve no choice in the matter. I wonder if I should do any simple static exercises for my hamstring. I just fear it would aggravate it. I’ll try and experiment later on.
