Running: 04/14/11

My promise to myself this year is not to let cardio get in the way of being my best. To that end for the immediate future I want to do 1 act of random cardio (basketball, goaltimate, ultimate, etc) and two acts of concentrated cardio (running as my main objective) a week. In season, Aug-Fall, I want to do 2 concentrated cardios on top of 2 practice days. My wedding will be messing with that all summer so we shall see what happens.

3 x's (4 min: 30 secs jog, 30 secs run, 30 secs survive)

right now my paces are:
jog is a good mile pace
run is a good 200/400 pace
survive is just like it sounds

I took decent rest and ended my first two sets with a sprint uphill.

Cardio: 04/01/08

April already? It seems like these weeks are flying by.

I want to be ready for the first practice/tryout so I am fashioning some sprinting workouts that will hopefully limit the shock of playing hard ultimate for the 1st time.


Active warm up
sprint warm up: "sprint" 40 yds, walk 40 x 8
sprints: (3) sprint 40, jog 40, sprint 40, wait 10 secs x 4. This meant start at the back of the endzone sprint to the 30, jog to the opposite 30, and sprint to the back of the endzone. Good cardio workout, where I could make my lungs give out before my legs.

On 04/02/08 I want to do something like this:
sprint upfield 15 yds, plant and come back for 10, jog upfield 10. Do that 10 times and then sprint the last 40.
