This is a late race report from an 800m I did at the University of Miami back in the middle of March.  I would have preferred to race the 400m at this meeting but as I was coming off a small groin strain I figured it would be prudent to do an 8 instead.  To be honest, in this race I had no inner drive to excel.  This is because my focus had shifted to sprinting once I realised that my heart sings more when I engage in my fast twitch movements. Nonetheless, I wanted to share this video:

As of writing this, I am being challenged with what seems like peroneal tendonitis.  Happened two weeks ago during practice when I was running 350s at 100%.  Before doing the third 350 I felt a noticeable weakness in my left ankle.  Not heeding the physical warning, I proceeded to push past the dysfunction and further damaged the area.  Two weeks in to the injury, I am still dealing with pain and dysfunction.  Now, to be fair, I have trained throughout and even did some 350s and 100s on respective days.  Not the smartest idea, but I was successful in finishing the workouts even though I’m quite certain this has prolonged the injury.  Yesterday I was supposed to run a 400m and here I finally exercised caution and scratched.  Today it feels better! 🙂

I did my usual assortment of treatments: coMra-Therapy, grounding while doing taiji and yesterday I added ice after my strength and conditioning coach mentioned I should include this.  Great idea!!!!  My tendon feels better already with the alternating treatments from coMra to ice and taiji for the reopening of the area via silk reeling movements.

Intending for full healing this week and then a strong week of training followed by a competitive 400M race on the 2nd of May.
