The workout was supposed to be resistance (hills or sleds), but I opted for med ball accels because it gives a little resistance and I don’t have a sled anymore and I don’t want to go outside to run hills and slip on the ice or get hurt some how. I’ve always had an issue with this workout and how it reads on my sheet because I’ve never been able to figure out what the exact volume is supposed to be. Here is how it reads.
3 x (5 x 5 x 5) Hill Sprints* @ 90-95%
5 sec. sprint walk down & repeat x 3 = 1 set;
1-2 min / rep, 5 min set
What do you think?
The workout went pretty well coming off of the meet Saturday and scrimmage game for the flag football team I play. I took it easy in the scrimmage. It was outside in the snow and ice so it was more of a shake out kind of thing for me. Just to get out moving around.

Set #1 (flying 20m) - 2.04, 2.04, 2.04, 1.98
Was obviously very consistent. Took my time to build into this workout. My stomach felt a little funny and I had some soreness. I didn’t want to push it from the start. I started feeling comfortable and began to push it a little harder as you’ll be able to see.
Set #2 (flying 30m) - 2.98, 2.98, 2.96 (had 2.86 on the watch, but I didn’t believe it)
I didn’t believe the .10 difference between rep 1 and 2 so I added a .10 to the time. I was starting to feel good, but also a little tired because of the short rest between the reps.
Set #3 (flying 40m) - 3.93, 3.93
Staying consistent but starting to get frustrated.
Set #4 (flying 50m) - 4.97
This track on the straight away is about 95m tops. I was a little nervous about how close I was getting to the wall so I timed the 40m again and hit it again at 50m. I was worried about the little space that I had to slow down so I timed the 40m and 50m so I’d at least know where I was at.
I didn’t get much of a cool down in. I felt a little sick and had a pretty serious stomach ache. I have lifting session around noon so I will do my core work then. It was a good workout over all, not sure if those fly times are very good. I do think I am more of a meet runner than a practice person. It’s how I was in college and I don’t think it’s really changed.

jw, how do you determine how much weight to do each set of like benching? most programs i have seen either have the weight stay constant or increase. y not decrease weight instead of weight? what would the effects of this be?

I had a feeling today could be a really good workout. I was warming up and for the first time in 6 weeks or longer I didn’t feel lingering soreness and from my past experiences with these workouts, this has been the case. I kind of thought the times were flukes, but then I had the times for the rest of them so I think today was by far my best workout of the season. I’m really excited to see what I can run! I didn’t get to the flying 50m. I felt really sick. It was really weird, but I felt like I was going to throw up. I got really dizzy. So I stopped
