The usual suspects all have DOMS from yesterday. All day I've been sitting in my office looking out the window and it's been sunny. I've been slack with running in the past few weeks so I was looking really forward to doing a few 100m tempos tonight for cardio. 4pm and with 1 hour to go it starts pouring with rain and hasn't stopped since FML

I'll update this post later.

sucks man.

happens all the time in south florida.. hate that. I remember way back, amp'd up dunk sessions getting rained out, always was a big letdown. hEH!!

is your truck 'rubberized'? if so, could you do lighter sprints on it with spikes?

pc!

Nah it's just a very poorly maintained grass track. I ended up just putting on a singlet, t-shirt, jumper and a raincoat and going out and running the tempos.

6x100m with 2 minutes rest
The first 1 was 15.5 seconds so I adjusted the speed and the rest of the 100s were all done between 14.4 and 14.8 seconds.

I can still run in the rain, but I guess it just comes down to a motivation issue. As for spikes I try and use them very sparingly. I use them if I race (haven't raced for almost 3 years) and doing speed sessions otherwise I don't use them at all because I find spikes place a lot of pressure on my calves/achilles.

I feel you with the outdoor courts though. I haven't been able to play pick-up for about a month now because we always play on outdoor courts and we've just got rained out. I remember I tried jumping on a damp court and I ended up falling on my ass haha.

Skips-
500

Squat-

60x8
85x7x3

Still not doing any upper body work because I'm not 100% confident with my lats. My legs felt fine tonight. It must've just been a cramp last time I did squats.

That's shit man. It's a horrible time of year for that too. Rest up and get better as soon as possible.

We could start up a private clinic on here.. everybody seems to be injured or has some nagging issues at the moment... sucks! I hope you get better soon man!

Yeah there's a lot of injuries going around at the moment. I guess when you've got a life like everybody on here does it's hard to eat, train, and sleep optimally, let alone get massages/physio/restoratives for any injuries/niggles as professional and even semi-professional (depending on the sport) athletes do.

Thankfully my cold seems to have gone away and my lats are getting better. I just need to resist my natural urges of trying to push myself back into training too fast even though the volume I was doing prior to my injury was still 'under training' because I haven't been able to build up a volume/work base. Once you've built up the work base your body adapts and is able to handle the volume and intensity without getting injured, but in order to get to that stage that's when the body often breaks down along the way as it tries to resist.

Played pick up for the first time in around a month. I won every game except for 1 in best of 11 in 9 games.

Jumps-
Had 10 dunk attempts and managed to land 2, but they were pretty ugly. My RVJ is around 34 inches atm, which is good considering my body fat.

Squat-
60x8
80x5
92.5x5x3

Chin Ups-
7x3
