Now I want to know how I should be nutrition wise to speed up recovery and make sure I’m getting what I need. What should I be eating and when? Clemson, I read what you said in an earlier topic about the cheesecake, and I’ll give that a go in the morning. But could you recommend some advice specific to my situation and maybe offer some input nutrition wise? Thanks.
We start off every practice with a 300yd shuttle run with at 12x25 yards. I believe the time for me to make it in is around 55 seconds. Then we’ll do some vigorous general conditioning, then some skill work, more conditioning, and then we’ll end pretty much every practice with wind sprints that would equate to about 8x100 yards with 20 seconds rest between at sprinting speed.
We are in full pads from here on out. We have a warm-up followed by some general conditioning. Then we break off for tackling, turnover, and special teams circuits. This is followed by individual drills with conditioning worked in. Then we scrimmage, and we end practice with wind sprints which would equate to about 8x100 yards with 20 seconds between each sprint.
As far as my plan I really dont know what I should do. In the past I’v started off with just a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, a protein shake and a subway sandwhich between the 1st and 2nd practice. And then a bath and a big dinner after the 2nd. Obviously this isnt optimal, and so what would you say? I’m thinking of adding a contrast shower after both the first and 2nd practices, a protein shake after both practices, and your cheesecake concoction for breakfast (how much earlier before practice should I eat this if it starts at 8:30?). Other than that I’m not sure at all.
