1st day of track practice...

[whoa4]

gotdamn I was horrible. I hate running, have't ran in years, but I'm trying to get myself in some type of shape. yesterday and today are mainly conditioning. I was Ok until the long distance running sh*t. I got shin splints, so my shins are killing me and we raced a 40 after all the endurance running. I let dude beat me the first run, I was tired and slowed down during the run. I dusted his ass the second race, but still did't perform as wel as I wanted...

Should I continue to pursue this?

The first two weeks of track practice were always the hardest for me. for some reason, things always seemed to ease up after that. You cant quit after 2 days. And as far as your shins, the only thing i could think of is to ice them as quick as you can once ur done running. And try no to run as hard, like pounding, when you run. It will help your shins.

NAw, I'm not gonna quit because I don't want to run. I might quit because of the time and how it interferes with alot of my sh*t. I'm going today though, mainly because they in the weight room and thats my advantage. I got muscle endurance, just not running endurance. Not yet anyway..

ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE, THE REST MAKE EXCUSES!!!

Stick with it! Its gonna be hard the first few weeks but u have to get ur endurance up. If u don't know I coach HS track and I have alot of work-outs if u want sum extra help. The harder you work the easier it will get.

Stick with it!!!

sure, PM me a few exercises for the shins, foot speed, stride length, etc. Also, ay advice on a diet that you can eat out of a cafeteria...


But i'm not making excuses, I have alot of things to do so i'm trying to make time for it. I went to practice yesterday, and we just did stretches, polymetrics, etc. I'm good at those, so that was the best practice for me. My ankles are sore, and so are my shins. My quads are sore also, but they don't bother me. People assume that because I weight lift 'm slow, and thats not the case. I just haven't ran in awhile and done any serious type of cardio in the 10 months down in Miami. My coach even understands that i'm out here for conditioning and not to over exert myself at the moment

make sure you supplement your body w/ the proper protein after practices or training sessions... a simple protein shake w/ an orange would be great along w/ some whole wheat toast... not sure what food you have in your cafeteria, from what i remember high school cafeterias had the worst food especially for athletes... if they have salad get that.... tuna... get that... water only, no soda, some skim milk is ok... lots of fruit and whole wheat non refined breads
