Low impact recovery session - exactly what the body needed. #fatiguemanagement
Wednesday: 130
Warmup B (weather 58)
4x20(blk); 1x50 (25) 3pt
Power clean 3x1x265
Kept the one long sprint at a 25m intensity limit. Track session started out a little flat - I'm thinking because I got some work done on my quads last night. It's always important to place therapy sessions esp. deep work on certain days otherwise you risk messing up your muscle tone. It wasn't a big deal because I didn't need to be sharp today. Thursday and Friday: Rest
Postworkout bodyweight: 173.5
Time for some reflection… I think overall I have come a long way since the summer of 2020. I remember starting prep in the summer of 2020 coming off a 7-month injury layoff hoping to compete in the 2020-2021 season. I can’t remember who I sent training footage to - at that time I was running 419-420 over 30m and had a ton of work to do. I kept grinding and eventually got my time down to the 403 range. Leading into my first meet I made a couple mistakes and opened with 7.3. I took a week off and came back with a 7.08 before sustaining another season injury that eventually cost me 5+ months. Entering this prep – after 5 months away from sprinting I was bad but not as bad as the 2020 summer. Once again, I kept grinding and eventually hit a pr over 30 in 4.02 and ran between 402-403 almost 7-10 times in this prep and avg 406-407 range. Now, the time is here for me to open my season this weekend and enjoy the work I have put in over these past 12months. I say 12 months because I’m counting all the rehab sessions I did starting back in Dec of 2020. I stated this several times before – my goal this weekend is 7.2 or better. I want to stay healthy, have fun, and put down a starting mark. The goal is not to have the fastest opener but to be the fastest come March!!!! I only know two things when it comes to games/meets – prepare and compete!!!! I did a great job preparing and I’m ready to compete – whatever happens after that I’ll deal with it.
To all the other athletes opening this weekend good luck and remember to have fun!!!

I'll be on the sidelines. Had Knee surgery med. meniscus Oct. 21 and am recovering well. I didn't take any pain meds whatsoever. The Dr. and the procedure were that good. I did a little jogging the last two days with some very limited cuts..knee is a little swollen today. Still in hella shape. 176 lbs. looking to get to 172 by Jan. 1.
Like you, I stopped sports betting but for a much longer period. Haven't bet in awhile and I feel so very calm. I may never go back. I found another activity and will share it once I achieve the $40k/mo. mark. A lot less stressful.
Too much overspeed?Quote:

It was one small piece of the big picture.

After the accident. I didn't do anything fitness wise for 2.5 months. Let my body heal. Looked at the big picture that I will be back.
