Circuits

Yesterday at practice we did a circuit workout. In this workout we did twenty 100 meter runs with 10 repetitions of an exercise in between each run. We did this twice, with about 5 minutes of rest in between the sets. This was needless to say very challenging. It improved our endurance because we ran so much, and our strength because of the Calisthenics between each run. After the running workout, we went into the weight room and did some lifting. We focused mostly on our legs and hip flexors, as these muscles are especially important to sprinters.
Our sprinting team has today (9/17) off. Rest is very important, especially after a workout as hard as the one we had yesterday.
