On the Grind: My Endless Pursuit of Athletic Aspiration

Saturday, 4-10-10
Warmup (light jog, hip mobility, dynamic stretching, sprint drills, buildups)

Accel Work:
15 x 20yds, working on technique, all were from a roll-in start

Worked with a coach in Austin today. I’ve got a lot to work on as far as technique goes on the accel. Need more forward and down motion, more acute knee-chest angles, violent arm swinging, and better separation between steps.
