Last thursday was brutal. My IT-bands have been on fire since last monday and during this sprint session it was much worse. It was the first time I faced a crossroads of quitting or grind this thing out. However, I finished so moving on. I did not start off this session with a long distance run but just upped the reps on some of the sprints and got out of there. My focus during this session was to work on:
technique first, driving my feet into the ground, also to pick up my knees higher than normal, and to be balanced with my distance of strides. My left calf and foot was for a few years my biggest weakness- due to a broken foot.(Freshman winter break was playing hoops and came down on a rebound and BOOM) So today I do not fight pain but I feel unbalanced at times. More specifically, I want to really highlight that if you brake a bone please be patient and take the proper steps needed to recover. Trust me, I rushed and 5 years later still pay for those impatient times.
What really matters is I showed up and punched that sprinting session in the face. It's never harder than it looks, just show up and be positive.
