Starting next Tuesday, 7/16, I will be coordinating a running program to
get those guys, not currently doing anything this summer for
conditioning, fit. This is a program that was used succesfully on a club
I was on in Richmond. Basically, it's a bunch of sprints of different
distances that over time increases. It's a chance to get ready for the
fall season and a way to keep some poundage off. For those guys not
doing 7's, it'll be a good way to not be behind the curve, stamina
speaking.
I have a print out of the program, week by week, that I'll hand out.
Please respond to me at
[email protected] by Monday 7/15 so I can know
how many to bring.
My guess is that this will take 20-30 minutes to run. We'll go Tuesday
and Thursday nights from 7 to about 7:30, unless there is a substantial
number of people who want to do it at a different time. Let's do at
Grady High (across the street from Piedmont Park) as it's a pretty
central location.
Just to give you an idea of what it'll look like, I've included the below
sample of the first few weeks.
Alex
Week One (all of these are done with a brisk walk or jog back to the
start-a few times we had guys stationed around a track. When one set of
guys had finished doing their piece, the next set took off).
Tuesday 2 X 440 yards (fast) Fast=75 to 85% of maximum effort)
4 X 220 yards (fast)
This equals a mile.
Week Two
Tuesday 3 x 440 yards (fast)
3 x 220 yards (fast)
This equals 1.13 miles
Week Three
Tuesday 4 x 440 yards (fast)
5 x 85 yards (full) Full=flat out
This equals 1.24 miles
