It was a strange dream, I had a dream being in a sprinting competition but it was different rule, first was the qualifying stage where there was 5 people, I had a bad start but won, my dreams i am always either sluggish or sleepy, after the next stage was to do a head to head race, this time I ran it leaning to the side, like that women high jumper who leans to the side before jumping, so I was running leaning side ways and won lol. then I started talking to some people about winning gold and whatever and then end of dream

Don't train through the quad sprain. You have nothing to win and very much to lose from that tactic. Recover it. Tons of foam rolling and stretching, plus some recovery work ( light leg extensions, BW half squats etc. ). But DONT SPRINT through it. I had a nice page with evaluation/rehab process that i followed when i had my own quad sprain (which i turned into a chronic one for being an asshole and training through it ), ill link it here if i find it.

Thanks.

The quad sprain came back as last time, so cut my workout short after getting some work in.

34m sprints
  - 4.62
  - 4.81
  - 4.75
  - 4.65

BSS 35kg dumbell 1 x 1 ( my quads felt weak because of sprain)

single leg RDL 1 x 1

It was wet surface and windy condition, which was chaning direction in circular motion every few seconds and slippery a little the track because of rain which occured a couple of minutes ago.

Sorry for the late reply, but wow what a fantastic achievement man.

keep up the good work man.
40" NEXT GO GET IT.
 

at least you're doing more reps now. try doing some longer sprints as well.

Sure, hopefully I will extend it to 60m for 8 reps.

stair runs x 5 or so
3 step skips x 5
4 step jumps x 6

pistol squats it was hard on my strong leg for some strange reason, then holding 20kg bucket doing pistol squats better because of balance issue being solved by holding bucket in front, but hard so hard to keep leg straight in front when coming up.

single leg hyperextension explosive 2 x 10 each leg

hip flexion 1 x 10 each leg using 15kg weight.

Cool down and stretches, left quads upper section sore.

A nice home session alterative.

Comment
It was a nice day and a nice session, felt a bit rusty because of being away from for a while, but the sprinting were shocking even though there was a slight headwind, hopefully after a few more days I can get a good run, as todays run, some runs were awkward not to full potential but felt good nevertheless and the third run I stumbled when I started running, so had to compose and continue to run and suprisingly got 4.41, which shows that I can run faster than 4.4 seconds. The warm ups felt good but a little rusty as i felt my legs were weak to absorb impact but should get better after some several runs. The gym work was good, the labels on the cable machine are bit confusing as it says 18kg or so, but feels way heavier than that, so it is probably 36kg. The BSS felt good at 30kg dumbells it was nice controlled pace unlike last time struggling to get to 5, but I was able to get to 6 continuously, felt a bit dizzy nothing serious. did the cable lying leg curls and then finished with cable hip extension to increase the size and strength of my iliopsoas muscle.
