One last question for now Mike 😛What would be your advice on the lifting end of things? Monday we lifted harder (tues. we discovered the shin splints) and this morning we performed hang cleans and did some circuit work in addition. Also core work.
Just wondering what you would do….
It would depend on if and how much you had to cut back on track. If you had to eliminate running and jumping, additional Olympic lifts could be substituted quite well. Everything else could remain the same (or slightly increase in volume) unless you foresaw that the injury would take a long time to rehab, in which case, I might consider switching up the focus of the training from speed to strength.
