I'm starting to feel like a triple jumper again. Although I was a little flat, and wasn't jumping overly far, I was really focused and made some technical adjustments which felt really good. I really tried to keep my foot from tucking under while I was bounding, and overcued to keep the foot out. Did a couple short approach jumps, but I didn't really have my legs under me, still, overall a very good day. Excited to get one more tech session in on Thursday before I compete again.

The Good

• Focused
• Made some solid technical adjustments
• Weights went well

My right shin is killing me, it is very tender during the first part of each session but seems to get better after warming up. I felt like I just wanted to "move" today, felt tired and lethargic from sitting around too much recently so I just did a lengthy general strength circuit and went for a 2 hour walk in the evening. Tomorrow is going to be a tech session, hopefully the rain holds off!

The Good

• Feeling energetic

Tomorrow
Tech/weights

It rained pretty hard when I was at the track, made it hard to really get much done and all the little injuries, like shin splints, seemed to really bother me. Nonetheless I still managed to stay relatively focused and got an acceptable session in. I felt as though I'm slowly becoming a little bit more technically proficient piece by piece so hopeful it will add up and make a big difference.

The Good

• Focused
• Knee was acceptable

• General strength and mobility

Today was kind of an odd day, just the way the meet schedule worked out, I had an eight day week so today was kind of an extra day. Since tomorrow is a tech day I still kept it closer to an off day, because at this point I felt like I could use a little break from getting beat up repeatedly. Hopefully the rain holds off in the morning.

The Good
Shins were better than they have been

The bad
Unfocused
Didn't get much done

Today was off, I needed today off.

TODAY'S WORKOUT
10 minute bike ride
45 minutes of mobility (hip extension)

The body was pretty beat down today, knee was bothering me and was what curtailed the session this evening. I had some acute pain but I'm hoping that with two down days it will be all set for another tech session on Sunday--although it is supposed to rain all weekend ):
   My shins were really bothering me and overall I felt pretty listless and flat.

The Good

• Hang snatch went pretty well, failed my first attempt at 170lb's but just because I was rusty, still strong enough to pull 200ish if I tried to max out

Felt a little beat up physically but pretty good overall. I spent a considerable amount of time trying to open up my hamstrings. I am hoping to be able to fix a few things tomorrow--I am going to test out a 15 step approach to see how it feels (Down from 17) and I'm going to focus on running smooth instead of forcing it. Considering my five step approach is comparable to my full approach at the moment speed isn't an issue... Also hoping to continue working on the first phase, trying to stretch out to about 5 meters off a short approach.

The Good

• Energetic
• Knee was better than I was expecting
