dont think i ate enough for breakfast this morning, had to eat some candy after my warmup bc i felt very weak/dizzy. overall the workout was kinda easy i flew through the tread and circuits with no problem today.
Yes, thats the area that can hit you. somedays, you need to be ready, as you may not be able to warm them up or loosen them? maybe? If you cannot loosen em up, particually that area, should you do max speed work? I personally find its 1. dangerous 2. wast of time.
Hence, a back up plan, perhaps working on speed endurance? Perhaps on starts and plyros and med ball throws?
I remember reading about charlie sending poeple home after massage due to being too tight in those areas. Not sure if that was after a warm or before? Would imagine after or during a warm up?
Mind you, we are talking pretty darn tight. MOstly you can loosen the area up and run your Planed workout.
that area was tight bc thats what single leg training does to my body and thats why i hate during single leg work. the previous friday i did several sets of lunges with the last set being 275
yeah, i seen that. that was good stuff. Max velocity work gets me in the same areas. Its just something to keep in the back of your mind for that “ONe” off day when your just too tight, its cold and warming up is not working to loosen you up. Mostly, you will be OK.
Week 2:
Mon: 780
Warmup C
4x30
4x30 3 point
3x3x60 (30) 2/5
med throws see sheet
running A’s 5x30
took me awhile to get juiced up, on the third 3 point 30m sprint i got scared bc my hammy felt funny at bout 20-25m.
second week of spp workouts the repeat 60’s were much easier today, but i am having a serious problem with keeping a lid on the speeds - my whole life i have been taught that if you want to be fast you have to train fast (all out). i think with these workouts, esp the first 6-7 weeks its ok for most of the runs to be in the 90-95% range and just work on being smooth and tech otherwise it could get really nasty.
Just keep in mind that you are training fast but you are saving that top gear for the day that you are fully ready for it. By coaxing the body to take on a new level of speed rather than forcing it, you are also enhancing your abilty to relax and saving yourself some risk of injury.
