track 4/18

warm up w/2 laps of striders

plyos including offensive and defensive footwork

running: so conference is on its merry little way. really focus on getting you legs warm and pushing yourself to run as fast as you can in each of these sprints! this isn't an enduranced based practice, this is an explosive FAST workout. everything should be run at 100% unless otherwise specified. there will be alot of rest inbetween sets of things so that you're given the time to recover

hollywood squares. when i say 100% i mean it. do all exercises 2x. do the first one just to warm up (about 75%) the next set should be at 100%, getting low, chopping your feet, all that jazz.

starts (a total of 20 starts, each about 15-20 yards long) starts are explosive. you can easily coast to a stop following the 15-20 unless otherwise specfied.

regular starts x 4 (two starting off on each leg, think about not rocking back to start, to push off on that front leg)

side shuffle 5 yards then run forward x4 (2 x each direction)

facing the side, turn and start x 4 (2 x each direction)

scramble ups (from the ground) x 4 (2 x pushing off with each leg)

jump up and turn. facing behind, run three steps, jump up, turn and sprint out. do these 4 times total, changing the direction of your turn each time. for these, chop step and stop after reaching 15 yards.

sprints. rest for 3 minutes between each distance.

80 yards (2). 1 minute rest between each.
60 yds (4). 45s rest between each
40 yds (10). 30 secs rest between each.
60 yds (2). 45s rest between each.

throw 50 passes between partners and rest.

partner up and do some broken 40's as such:

one partner has a disc, the other one runs. the running partner springs out for 30 yards, stops and turns and the other partner throws it to them so you power through and catch. once you catch, stop, jog to the line and do it again. one partner goes through 3 times in a row and then switch partners. do this twice per person.

if you have enough people you can do a fun relay instead:

within team sprint relay with the following series of sprints: 1. 4x30's (there-back-there-back, tag the next person). 2. run 30 out, 10 back, 10 back out (return to the far 30) and sprint back to tag the next person. 3. 4x30's 4. run 30 yards out, 30 yards in and then run deep for a huck. the next person in line, of course, throws the huck. the next sprinter CANNOT start their sprint until the receiver has the disc in their hands. this either means at the time of the catch, or at the time the receiver picks up the disc (if it's a drop)

Track 2/7/2011

Instead of a track workout tomorrow (Monday) we will be in the pool! Please try to come even if you're injured (if you're not coming you have to tell the captains).

Meet in the rec center lobby at 7 pm and bring a suit you can swim in.

long due muppet vids

Everyone, I'm sorry for the lack of muppet videos last week. To make up for it, here are two good ones for y'all to watch while you wait for me to post the track workout...

Track 1/31/2011

1. Warm up (consisting of at least 2 full laps jogging. 1 slow, pick up the pace a little bit for the 2nd)

2. Plyos, active stretches

3. 4 x 50 yd accelerators

4. Jumping Series: 1. Lateral (side to side) hops over an imaginary cone (or shoe): 20 jumps on two legs (1 jump = 1, so side to side = 2 jumps) 10 jumps per single leg 2. Front/Back hops: x20 w/2 legs; x10 single leg

5. 3 x broken 300 m (sprint 200, wait 15 seconds, sprint 100) KEEP A DISC NEARBY
NOTE: the rest is basically long enough to walk back to the line, shake your legs out and go!
60 seconds rest between each broken 300

6. Rest 3-5 min: Immediately after sprinting, find a partner and throw 10 passes as fast as you can between partners. Then rest.

7. 3 x broken 200 m (sprint 150, wait 10 seconds, sprint 50)
60 seconds rest between each broken 200

8. Rest 3-5 min, same thing (throw 10 passes as fast as you can, then get water and stretch)

9. 3 x broken 200 m (same as #7 above).

10. Throw 20 forehands and 20 backhands per partner. These should be moving and running passes!

11. Push Ups & Crunches

A quick note about how to run these broken 300's and 200's... run the first 200 or 150 m at a comfortable sprint, meaning, don't kill yourself while still pushing the pace. Then, the point of the 10 second break is to refocus and be able to kick it in on the final 100 or 50 m.

BOOM

Track 1/24/2011 (workout)

Focus: Building Sprint Endurance and strength

Warm up
2 laps striders at 75%
Jumping Series

100 yard workouts

do a strength workout-sprint-rest 20 seconds-then sprint again. so you’ll start with a strength workout. you’ll do a total of 6 sprints. you can either do this in waves (like partner up) or you can do them in one big group and people can be accountable for their own time. but try to start the sprints as a group (which may or may not be possible…)

the exercises are:
tuck jumps x 10
calf jumps x 15
squats x 10
and then repeat the same three

water, partner up, throw 20 throws a piece

4-200’s.

sprint 200, rest 45seconds
sprint 200 rest 1min
sprint 200, rest 30 secs
sprint 200

water. rest at least 4 minutes or until one of you are completely recovered (which ever is longer)

repeat the 100 yard workouts this time with three different exercises in a different order. this order will be do the exercise-rest 20 seconds-sprint. so you’ll be doing the exercises immediately following the sprint. try to start all the sprints at the same time so the timing might get funky. this time the exercises will be:

mountain climbers x 10
push ups x 10
jumping jacks x 10

2-400’s. 90-95 second pace. rest 2 minutes between each one.

end with a full plank series (1 min each)

Track for 1/17/2010

In case you missed trakkie, here is the workout. Some of this stuff requires a partner, so just make it work. I copy and pasted the workout Jinny sent the captains, so in parentheses is my attempt at an explanation as to what the drill is. If you're still confused, just go with your best guess, keeping in mind this is supposed to be a hard work out and to push yourself.

Warm up, abbreviated (normal Chaos warm up of 2 laps around the track with abbreviated plyos. So high knees, ninja shuffles, all that jazz, but maybe for not as long as a distance).

2 laps striders: long stride 60-75% effort (a strider is a lap in which you jog/recover on the corners and run with long strides on the straights. It's important to really exaggerate your stride. It helps you run correctly and prevent injury).

Jumps:
Double leg hops front x 10
Double leg hops side x 10
Single leg front x 5
Single leg side x 5
180 deg jumps single leg back forth x 2 each leg

Get into pairs: shadow each other, one minute. Each partner should go 3 times.

2 laps striders: accels
Goal is to reach and maintain almost 95% at the time you cross the finish. Should be at 95% by 75 yards. Gradually come to a stop.

Jumpbatas x 2
20 secs exercise, 10 sec break (Jumpatas are when we jump from a crouched position and land in a crouched position. Remember to always bend your knees and to cushion your landing. The list of the 4 different jumps are the jumps or 'exercises' to do in each set).
4 mins each set (2 sets of 4 exercises) throw for 2 mins in-between sets
Fast feet
Lunge jumps
Side to side fast jumps
Squat jumps

2 laps striders: coasters
Get out as fast as you can for 50 yards, then relax your body and coast for the second half. This doesn't mean you'll be slowing down, just relaxing your stride

Partner up
30-60-30 shuffling

Shuffle between 2 cones set 5 yards apart.
One partner goes, the other does push ups.

Kill drill: 40 seconds x 2  per partner (the kill drill is when one partner cuts from a fixed point and makes a 'V' pattern, and the second partner stays stationary and throws an outside forehand or outside backhand, depending on where the cutter is running).

Abs. (ten minutes).

Captains or Coaches: correct me or elaborate further as you see fit

So obviously going to track makes all this easier, especially all the partner stuff. But if you couldn't make it for whatever reason, that's okay! Just do your best!
