Week 16 update

18.5 mph today

And honestly…there was still more there

Warm-ups felt smoothBody felt connectedEverything was building the right way

But right at the end of the sprint my right hamstring cramped before I could fully open things up

Which was frustrating because I know there was probably another 0.2–0.4 mph there

But this week taught me something important

The speed is returning faster than the structure underneath it is fully ready for

And if I want this comeback to last…

I can’t rush that part

So for the next few weeks:• More hamstrings• More posterior chain• More stability work• Less max speed testing

The goal isn’t just to touch high speed again

The goal is to own it

And honestly…

that feels like real progress

Week by week, rebuilding the engine.

Every Wednesday = uphill walks into controlled sprints.
Walk. Recover. Increase. Repeat.

Today hit 10 mph — up from 8.5 last week.
More importantly… it felt smooth, controlled, and connected.

Not perfect yet.
But this is what progress actually looks like:
stacking small wins until they turn into something real.

Another step forward.
Keep building.

A lot of people have been asking what the Year of the Comeback is really about… so here’s the full story.

Back in July of 2023, I went in for a chiropractic adjustment thinking it would help speed up something I had been working on for a long time.

I asked to have my right hip adjusted.
He tested me and kept insisting it was my left.

I went against my gut and let him adjust the left hip.

Immediately after, I knew something wasn’t right.

Later that day, I went to train legs like normal… and 135 on the bar felt heavy. That had never happened before.

The next morning, I could barely get out of bed.

For three weeks straight, I had the worst sciatic pain I’ve ever experienced. Couldn’t put on socks. Couldn’t move normally.

And honestly… my body hasn’t worked the same since.

For the last 2.5 years:

Squatting has been a challenge
Lunging has felt off
My left knee flares up when I push too hard
I dealt with plantar fasciitis for over a year
Things just stopped working the way they used to.

But over time, I started realizing something…

The body isn’t meant to stay broken.

It adapts. It compensates. But it can also be rebuilt.

That’s where the Year of the Comeback came from.

Not just to fix my body…
but to stay consistent, stay accountable, and actually document the process.

Because if you feel like something is off or broken…

I can promise you this:

Your body is capable of a lot more than you think.

You just need the right approach, the right structure, and the patience to rebuild it.

This is where it started.

The comeback continues.
