question about allan wells training

Quotes from:
Margot Wells,“THE ALLAN WELLS BOOK OF SPRINTING”

"The purpose of hitting the ball is to gain upper body strength and at the same time to improve:

• [b]concentration
• cross body coordination[/b]
• maximum relaxation while working flat out."

And:

“As the ball moves extremely fast,the brain has to send messages to the muscles much faster than it would have to during a race and so when the athlete comes to race,the body has already been conditioned to move at speed.”

“Sessions done on the ball vary in time and number,but the athlete must try to hit the ball faster each time”

Hope this helps.

Hmmm interesting. Thanks Pakewi!!!

I am going to wear a HR monitor and post how high my HR gets. Even if the speed bag thing does nothing for my running, maybe it can help me blow off some steam at the end of the day
