Back to training

I'm back in Boston (Waltham) and ive started training again.

We'll be taking it slow the next couple weeks, with running being simply strides one day off one day off and lifting (minor) everyday.

Yesterday was the first day, i did a full warm up and then ran ten 100 meter strides. I then did a core workout and called it a day.

today i didnt run but did some upper body lifts in the weight room

I weighed 178 yesterday and today the same. my goal is 195 so ill be eating 3500 cals a day for about two weeks and then jack it up to at least 4500/day

ill begin sprinting in 2 weeks (10s, 20s and 30s) and around Nov 15th will begin going over hurdles again.

So far so good, im really excited for the coming season. Im still not in my "ideal" situation but im in the best environment ive ever been in so im happy. im broke, but i have nothing to worry about except waking up and training so i should see lots of good results.

Hi,
I happened to stumble upon this blog searching for info about coach Valle after reading his blog on elitetrack, but im very happy i found this. I am Puerto Rican too, and run the 100m so it is very inspiring to see someone from Puerto Rico doing well and setting big goals. I wish you the best of luck and will continue to follow this blog as it inspires me to do as best as i can.
