Track Workout: Week 15


Warm Up
3 sets of the 9 cone drill - *Set up a box of cones - 3 rows of 3 cones, evenly spaced, with approximately 10 yards between each cone (a 20 x 20 square with a cone in the middle).  I'll give them coordinates to clarify: 
C1 C2 C3
B1 B2 B3
A1 A2 A3
The drill/1 set consists of 8 cuts. All cuts originate from A2 and go directly to B2 where you then sprint towards appropriate cone in the progression to complete the rep.  An example rep would be: Start at A2, sprint to B2, cut back at full speed to A1.  After you make that one cut, go to the end of the line, or if alone, take a short breather.  So the pattern is: A2, B2, A1, done, rest; A2, B2, B1, done, rest;  A2, B2, C1, done, rest; A2, B2 (stutterstep and go), C2, done, all the way to A2, B2, A2.  Go through clockwise.  For the 2nd set start from laying on your stomach.
You should do the drill in groups of 2-3 to get the proper rest to work ratio.

Box drill:  cones in square, 7 yds x 7 yds
for 30 seconds, shuffle from 1st to second cone, sprint from 2nd to 3rd, karaoke from 3rd to 4th, back pedal from  4th to 1st repeat

Track Workout: Week 14

Warmup
on the track:
2 reps of 2 laps of jog 50 m, sprint 50 m; 4 minutes between reps 
5 minutes
5 reps of a 4 x 100 m relay or if you don't have enough dudes: 5 reps of 100 m, 30 seconds rest
5 minutes/get your cleats on as fast as you can and move to the field
fake d points:
3 sets of 2 reps - 50 (yd sprint) in, 10 out, 10 in, 10 out, 10 seconds fast feet, 10 in, 10 out, 10 in, 10 sec rest, 10 out, 10 in, 10 out, 10 secs fast feet, 10 in, 50 out; 1 min between reps, 3 min between sets

*if you can't force your pregnant wife to be there to time your 10 seconds, work on your stall counts for counting them
*it looks tough to remember, but it really is just 50, 10, 10, 10, something, 10, 10, 10, something, 10, 10, 10, something, 10, 50.
*you only need 3 cones for this one: a cone (start), 40 yards, a cone, 10 yards, a cone
3 minutes
fake o points:
3 sets of 2 reps - 15 (yd sprint) out, 15 in, 5 out, 10 jog, 15 in, 15 out, 5 in, 10 jog, 15 out, 15 in, 30 out; 1 min between reps, 3 minutes between sets
*you need 5 cones for this one: cone (start), 5 yards, a cone, 5 yards, a cone, 5 yards, a cone, 15 yards, a cone
*you don't need to do this in straight lines, you can do it with slight angles as if you were cutting, which is much easier to do on a lined football field
In order to get the most out of the short distances you have to give 100% when it calls for 100%.  If you do this workout even at 95% you won't be getting the workout necessary to make you better.  So fake points are meant to be run hard.  A 50 yard sprint is a 50 yard sprint, not a fucking 30 yard sprint into a lope.


Cool down and stretch
