Poor Hamstrings

Not a great week of training.  I had no spare time with volunteering at the Canadian Indoor Championships.  I was only working on a few athletes so it wasn't physically draining, but I find doing treatments in a competition setting to be mentally exhausting as you want the athlete to perform well and not pull a hamstring.  As a therapist you often have to do on the spot problem solving, whereas in the clinic the pace is slower & controlled.

This week I got a bit carried away on my Tuesday sprint session.  I was running 14 low for 100m.  My hamstring were sore for 5 days following the workout!!!

Here's my favorite hamstring vid from 1992 Olympics.
