PM: 2-Track. Ran to the track and did all our dynamics stretching and a little static on my own, then the form mile on the outside of the football field. I could feel a ton of pressure in my head from getting my wisdom teeth out a couple days ago and it's my first time back running from winter break with a knee injury, so I decided that was good enough. After coach Holt posted on facebook about Jake K's recovery post on his blog I read the whole thing thinking about things I need to change, to help me recover from the tightness in my quad's, hamies, and IT band. Now that it's 2013 my new years resolution is to stretch more before and after practice, along with rolling with the foam roller, and the stick. I also have a bunch of new stretches I do before and after practice 3 times a week to improve flexibility for the steeplechase, which should help a ton with my knee. After the form mile coach Houle gathered all the guys in his office and talked about things that are changing in the program this spring season. The whole emphasis was to keep people healthy, by taking their vitamins, eating healthier, sleeping more, taking our pulse everyday, and incorporating things like amino acids before and after our runs. Hopefully I can get back to my mileage real soon which we have decided will be on a rotation of 8, 10, and 12 miles twice a week, medium to high to low. Then I ran back home to roll and do my own stretches. |
