Day 246: Pure Speed (Staircase and Speed Drills)

singapore personal trainer

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.


Heya all I’m back. It’s another training week, being ‘medium’ week, the intensity will go up slightly a notch. I can’t wait to run, and pump the iron. Yup the motivation to train is still there!

As for my recovery process, I would like to think my left hamstring insertion is getting better. Well it kinda feels much less strained than usual, so I reckon that’s good.


Woodlands Stadium – View Larger Map

Today the stadium had a soccer match at 4.30pm and the stadium will be booked for the rest of the night, so that means I had to wake up from my nap much earlier to prepare for my training. No issues while I was jogging towards my training location.

As I arrived at the stadium, there were some kids. And later on more came down, some nearby school was having their athletics training. I kept to my corner, and indulged myself in my training. I don’t like to be disturbed.

I planned to do my speed drills on the grass today in fact. For the first four runs, I did that, but the weather wasn’t cooperating with me today. I had to go indoors doing it at the stadium bleachers for my workout.

I’m just wondering what effect does doing my drills on a hard cement will have on my legs. I guess I’ll know tomorrow morning eh. I did all I could earlier for my recovery, the foam roller, stretching, to massage. I do hope that helps.

During the run, my leg held up alright. I was thinking slowly adding hip flexor by next week. I’ll see how is my condition by the end of the week. The goal for today is just to get my leg moving fast, and activating my fast twitch muscle.

This is the best I could do so far without the usual impact bearing sprints workout. It was really hard for me, as I had to restrained myself from putting on my spikes. I know I need to recover first.

If the hip flexor workout ain’t giving me problems, then I’ll slowly add using spikes, then the starting blocks for my future Pure Speed training. One step at a time now. It’s all about getting stronger, faster and bigger as each passing day!
