Hey guys, this week I will talk about doing some sprint drills.
-First, stretch out your legs and hamstrings, you can do this by getting down on the ground and reaching for the tip of your sneakers, another way is to have a partner push your legs towards you and hold that position for about 10 seconds.
- Now as usual, jog 5 times around the track to get loose and warmed up.
- after the 5th lap, this time instead of stopping, do a fairly quick lap around the track, this will warm you up and get your heart beating pretty good.
-Now it’s time to get into the workout, today we are doing 5 100 yard sprints, with a 30-50 second break in-between each. Now a sprint is running fast, unlike jogging, run at about 80-85%, this is pretty fast pace so you will be pretty tired after this.
- After a 1 minute break, now we are going to do 5 40 yard sprints, this time with no breaks in-between each. Also, instead of walking back to the 40 yard line on the football field, do u slow jog back, then when you get there sprint back to the goal line.
- After you complete this, get some water and stretch those sore legs and hamstrings, you should be fairly tired by now, catch your breath and get ready for the last part of the workout.
- The last stage of this work out a final 100 yard dash/sprint.
-this time, instead of going fairly fast, we are going all out, 100%. This is the last workout for today, after you get your breath, return to the track and finish by doing 5 laps jogging. Same thing you did when you started.
