Stadiums

For anyone interested, I'm going to start posting stadium workouts for the next 12 weeks or so. The ideal situation is to do these in a stadium or on a staircase with ~50 steps, but you can adjust as needed. You're either going to jog or sprint up, where jogging is the default. You can either walk or jog slowly down. "Small" means small stadium steps or one stair at a time if you're using regular stairs, and "big" is large stadium steps or two regular stairs at a time. If you want to join the New Haven group for these, let me know.

Weeks 1 & 2

44 total stadiums

6 big, 2 small

8 big (alt sprint 2 and jog 2 for the 8), 2 small

4 big (jog 2, sprint 2), 4 small

4 big (jog 2, sprint 2), 4 small (jog 2, sprint 2)

4 big, 2 small, 2 big, 2 small (sprint)

1 x 20 each calf raises

April 24

Wanted to get the blood flowing and feel out how my knees are doing.  150 forehands at the pole...probably hit two dozen.

Taking a few days off in hopes that some knee soreness clears up. Low impact time on the bike and stretching.
