Something I'm starting to realize is that for two years, I had relatively poor running form, and when I was advised on how to visualize my stride, I applied that first to my distance running, which worked out great and with no problems since it was a less-than-maximal effort. However, when the injury occurred, it was the first time I'd applied that visualization to speed training, and of course, my poor form hadn't targeted the musculature needed to properly execute a maximal-effort running stride, hence the very quick and acute failure of the muscles involved in the new stride. Perhaps dead- and O-lifting didn't carryover quite as much as I'd thought. At any rate, thanks for the replies, folks. Not meaning to continue bumping this up. Just trying to work through this in my head and on-screen.
