I LOVE SPRINT TRAINING!!!
I LOVE SPRINT TRAINING!!! WOW!! That was so fun! Makes me miss playing indoor soccer!!
We did a mile warm up followed by 3x200 with 200 recovery between each, then 4x300 with 100 walk 200 job recovery between and then 2x200 with 200 recovery after each and a 400 cool down, then core.
I may need to open up my hips a bit more...one of the guys said I could open up my stride some, but I was not over striding. I focused on chest out, lead with the knees, lander under me and don't let my shins go above parallel on the back side. I also concentraited hard on keeping everything going forward...no side to side, kicking out or in and head up.
It was a blast! I found it easier to ramp up over the course of the sprint rather than setting a pace and trying to hold it, so my last 100s were pretty much alway faster than the first part...even saw some low 6m/m "speed". Heart rate hit 190 a few times, but came down surprisingly quick.
All in all, there are worse ways to wake up!!!
As far as the track goes, there were some marbles in the outside 2 lanes, but it was a nice ruber track, I went bare the whole time and may have lost a very small amount of skin in a quarter of a dime size circle on the ball of my left foot, but that's it. No blisters, no pains and it felt reaaaaally good to run that hard! I've missed it!
I'll find some time to do a little hill work next week and post up how it goes. Anyone got a good low incline up and down hill program I can play with?
Thanks for all the responses!
