Spring Training

15 Apr 2012

Now that the weather is nice again, I have been getting outdoors more for workouts. This past week, I enjoyed a ladder workout that I haven’t done since highschool.

Max effort:
    50m
    100m
    150m
    300m
    300m
    150m
    100m
    50m

I forgot just how brutal max effort 300-400m sprints are, and now I’m craving a 4x400m workout. I’ll probably have to go to McCarren Park for that, because they have a proper 400m track there. The Chelsea track is only 275m.

Today, I did another fun springtime workout—one that I love and do regularly.

12x:
    Sprint 50m
    Walk 50m

Sprinting max effort is one of the most invigorating feelings I know. Highly Rx this workout.

Some other exercises I have recently been loving and plan to work more into the springtime regimen are:

Jumping pullups
Kipping pullups
High hang power snatches
Power cleans

Lots of stuff that will hopefully make my sprints faster!
