5 Sprinting and other forms of ultimate track workouts are about
6 training your body to be fast (not slow) so if at any point you find
7 yourself not putting forth the speed you know you can during the
8 workout, take a break for a few minutes and then start up again. If
9 you are not running the sprints full speed or pushing yourself there
10 is really no point, so breaks can be beneficial :). Try to find a time
11 to complete the workout this week. Buddy systems are great and the
12 more people you can get together with, the better! Encouragement does
13 wonders for improvement. If you do the workout on grass consider
18 (like in practice-this is meant to get your muscles ready to workout):
20 * 2 laps jogging (not meant to be fast, just meant to get your muscles
22 * 2 (there and back) 40yd karaoke/grapevine (work on having quick
24 * 2 (there and back) 40yd side shuffles/zone formation (stay as low as
25 you can—push yourself to go lower, bend your knees)
26 * 1 (there) 40yd high knees
27 * 1 (back) 40yd butt kickers
28 * 2 (there and back) lunges/twists (while lunging twist your torso to
29 the opposite side of the leg you are lunging with) (lunges are all
30 about muscle control—go slow enough to where you are really working
32 * 1 (there) 40yd skips for height (really reach—stretch yourself)
33 * 1 (back) 50yd skips for distance (exaggerate to get the most
35 * 10 pushups and 25 sit-ups
36 * (stretch—arms, legs, butts—do what you need!)
40 (this is meant to stretch you, but not discourage/frustrate you—feel
41 free to leave feedback after you finish the workout):
43 For all of the sprints—try to make them as explosive as possible—100%
44 unless specified otherwise
46 * 2 hollow laps (jog the curves, sprint the straightaways if on a
47 track and if on a field pretend a field is set up and jog the
48 endzones while sprinting the sidelines)
49 * 10 burpees and then a 40yd sprint (do this twice) (here is how to do
50 a burpee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX9z7uUBJOY)
51 * 10 tuck jumps and then a 40yd sprint (do this twice) (here is how to
52 do a tuck jump: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlI_oY2Qmro)
53 * 2 suicides (rest for a minute in between): set up cones (use
54 whatever you can find for cones if you don’t have them, like sticks,
55 shirts, water bottles, etc.) at 5yd, 10yd, 15yd, 20yd and 25yd (how
56 to do a suicide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLdsR0uFKJ4)
57 * Do a series of 40yd sprints (like the ones that we do at the end of
59 * 2 (there and back) (50%)
66 * 1 lap jogging (again, not meant to be fast--slowly work your muscles
68 * Do any stretching you might need after the workout. It usually feels
