MAY 1ST 2024
- Mobility circuits and stretching, 1.0km jog warmup, 2 x 60m tempos
- 6 x 100m, rest 60 seconds between, 15.5-17.5 seconds each
A couple of the reps felt really nice and smooth I am certainly starting sprinting from a good fitness place. Just a touch of lactate at the end of the last rep.
MAY 3RD 2024
Easy Tempo: 8 x 100m, rest 60 seconds
Many muscles are sore from the last sprint day but I took the heat off and was really just doing these more like 20-21 seconds each. Easy strides
MAY 4TH 2024
My right hamstring is sore right from the lower glute down to the knee! I guess my first real injury and not far into it. I will warm it up and stretch it out two times today, otherwise only rest. I have to walk a short distance but that will do it good. Hope this doesn't last too long.
Going forward, keep it to that 20 second range 100m. Just do that consistently for awhile until your body adapts. You're going to have to increase intensity more gradually.

Right hamstring was significantly improved on waking. Optimistic for a May 7th return to very easy tempo sprints.
6am
15 minutes - Warm up, mobility and stretching.
Later 10 minute hot shower. I know they say ice is recommended but that single shower took the discomfort 90% away!
MAY 6TH 2024
15 minute warmup, mobility and stretch. Ended with 21 pushups. Cat thought pushups was playtime, with my head as I went up and down. I'll get 25 next time and she will be in the bathroom!
Hamstring feeling pretty good. Feeling optimistic of return tomorrow
MAY 7TH, 2024
- mobility and stretching, 1km jog warmup
- 10 x 100m, about 20 sec pace, rest 60 seconds
I felt tightness in my hamstring a couple of times but it was transient. At the 4th rep this weird but not unpleasant warm sensation seemed to be coming from the hamstring. It was weird. I got into a nice rhythm in the middle reps. Up and down. I was out of breath at the end. Just like tempo is supposed to be, I was able to finish last rep as fast as first rep. But breathing heavily. Absolutely no lactic feeling so that's good.
MAY 8TH, 2024
- mobility and stretching, 1km jog warmup
- 12 x 100m, 20 sec pace, rest 60 seconds
Technique felt a little strange at times, bit sloppy. Super taxing on my breathing by the last 3 reps and had to bend over after the last rep. But no problems with achilles or hamstring and first training goal has been met.
MAY 9TH, 2024
- mobility and stretching to warm up
- 10 x A, B in place per leg
- 20 pushups
- 15 airsquats
- 15 slow mo rockets
- 45 sec wall sit
Just a few exercises. I'm not very strong at the moment. I have to start small. My hamstring warmed up well, but my achilles was a bit stiff. Lots of raining mornings to come so not sure how I will manage to get training in.
MAY 10TH, 2O24
mobility and stretching warmup
I kept it to that. Many sore achy muscles today. I hope to return tomorrow.
