Well, so ends the first mesocycle of training. It's been a weird three weeks, and for the most part not in a good way. I have put on 13.5lb's, mostly water and currently cannot sprint or jump because of my hamstring. I may be competing in as little as four weeks if I am healthy but that's a big "if". I just want to be able to run again without having to worry about tearing something. I don't think that I will be able to do speed work this Tuesday but I'm hoping to be able to the week after--that's the goal. I'm taking the next two days off completely (hopefully) to fully recover before I head into mesocycle 2.
I set one pb in the weight-room, 3x245lb's power cleans, I could have easily went higher but I felt it in my hamstring--strength definitely is not an issue right now.
Cheers to a terrible three weeks, hopefully the next three will be significantly better.
