We've got two sessions to digest in this post, with my busy life schedule having impeded my progress a little in the early stages of May. Session 21 was the first in a new phase of the full speed spectrum program and I always find that first session puts me a little out of kilter, as you become so used to the routine in each phase. Nonetheless I did post a new record of 98mph on the 135g weight, although that really would be the highlight of that session, with my speed on the 195g pretty sub-par compared to where I had been.
In reality I should have listened to my body and moonwalked right out of the session but I ploughed on regardless, which I hope isn't to the detriment of my improvement long term (it won't be). However, it did crystallise my thoughts on rest, which I heeded with session 22, as I waited until I felt like my back and ankle were in a better place.
Six days on from session 21 and I was still feeling a little sore to be honest and my back issues had also led to some sleep deprivation, as I was being awoken at 5am each morning. Anyway, I had to get back on the horse at some point and so whilst there wasn't an improvement on the 195g, it was better than it had been in the previous session and I did manage to move the needle substantially on the 120g too.
Anyway, onwards and upwards, as my back is considerably better now (albeit still not 100%) but I am going to have to guard against injury to my ankle in the coming weeks.
