After this afternoons debacle of a work out I headed up to the track for a round 2 romp with the sled. I did have the idea I should get some sprints in first. That is until my foot reminded me how bad the fasciitis was today. My body this Summer has not been coping very well at all it seems. Wrist surgery to kick things off, right foot plantar fasciitis, left pec strain, right shoulder (nothing new there), and my right hip has been giving me issues lately as well.
It didn't help I was barefoot either for the warmups. There's actually some logic there. Shoes can make your feet weak. Last year when the fasciitis sprang up I did a lot of barefoot training and walking on soft surfaces and I noticed the symptoms died down a little. So I took that logic into this evenings workout. Unfortunately I did a bit more damage to the heel last Friday than I thought. During high knees it tweaked again and I almost went down. Then just did a toe/heel walk to try and loosen it up. Seemed to help.
Anyways, so the workout itself was pretty simple. 300lb sled, turf, and barefoot. Sets of 50yd drags. First round was a forward drag followed then by a reverse drag. Repeat for 300yds total. Wasn't so bad the first 20-30yds but then I lost momentum and damn did that thing get heavy. Just something else I need to get consistent on. Truck pull is one of the events at my competition coming up.
