Practice Tomorrow

If you check Coach Sep's blog you see that the distance kids are going to practice at 4pm. I think they waiting until the afternoon for all of this awful weather (????) and all this snow (????) to disappear. Because we are a team, I think it would be good for as many groups of us to be there at the same time.

So practice is on the track at 4pm for all jumpers and sprinters. I'm sure you want to keep it short and so do I, so be on time.

High jumpers, below is a video of what we'll be doing in practice:

So, I will need everyone to bring their camels, and wear their best jumping sarongs.

Just kidding (I know I had a couple of you going...I'm looking at you Paige, and Colin)

Seriously, tomorrow's practice will be no joke. It will be intense. Intense in a way that lets me define intensity. You see, workouts can typically be defined by the amount of volume or intensity they possess.

• Volume is the amount of work which you do in a workout. So a workout with high volume would be running eight 1000m intervals like our stud distance crew does. This is a lot of volume as defined by the number of meters they run, and the number of footfalls it takes to do those runs. Rest time is usually low (compared to intensity) in this workout domain.
• Intensity is the amount of energy put into a short effort. A workout with high intensity would be doing 5-8 thirty meter starts with a great concentration on the production of force over the short period of time that it would take to run 30 meters. Rest is usually high in this workout domain.

Tomorrow's workout will be intense in that we will not do a ton of jumps, but will do few at very high quality. In fact, we are going for near PR/PR heights. Tomorrow's practice will be a meet simulation. It will be a competition, but competition against only yourself. Focus is a must.

See you tomorrow at 4pm.
