I was in good condition before sprint day. Somehow, I feel a bit nervous before this workout. It seems so simple—just six short runs. But when you give it all you’ve got during those 100 meters, you understand how stressful it is on your body. Some regular stretching and quite a lot of foam rolling prepared me for sprints surprisingly well. The pain in my left hip is still here, but it does not affect sprinting.
Today’s training:
- 1 km warm-up run
- 10 minutes of stretching
- 6x100m sprints
And that’s it—around 35 minutes. After that, I already feel that strange pain in my quads, but it seems to be getting weaker. My muscles are getting used to this exercise. It’s probably time to think about adding another repetition.
Also, I decided to stop taking my multivitamin supplement. I didn’t feel any positive effects, but I clearly felt the negatives—more trips to the bathroom, dehydration, and headaches. So for now, it’s vitamin D and electrolytes. Maybe I’ll think of something else to add, but right now, I’m a bit confused.
