11/16/16 - ROMWOD

day 3
3 cross fields, 3 sets-
 3-5min rest between.
+
block starts x7-10, 20-30m
rest as needed.
focus on exploding out the blocks.  BOTH feet push off the blocks to start, not just the foot in front.  it’s more of a ‘jump’ than a push with one foot and stride with the other.  stride with both.  if you want to see a good example of this, one of the more exaggerated sprinters that did this was Marion Jones on the women’s side and Ben Johnson on the mens side.   More to come here


Day 3 done on 11/17/16
Only did 1 set of cross field as I was strapped for time
Did ~10 block starts.   Video of last handful below
25 min rest as I drove home

completed on 11/18/16

also did upper body work, rows, presses curls press downs


Did not do day 5.  

Notes for the week :
Only 4 running sessions this week as I spent Sunday prepping for deer season. I spend quite a bit of free time in woods for the next 3 weeks so I might miss a session here or there. 

I feel good with 4 running sessions.  I can keep focus and intensity up.  I definitely think I operate better as a low volume, high intensity type. Get my work in, stay sharp, move on. 

Weather is going to be getting cold next week and I work out at 7am so it'll be extra cold at that time.   Will have to make do,but 3- 4 running sessions a week might get tough over time.  We will have to take it on a "wait and see approach"

I might be able to get to a local gym for block starts on a turf field, so I may need to do that.  

Overall I'm feeling good, powerful, fast etc.  the 275 power clean was pleasant surprise as I haven't hit that number in years and have barely touched oly lifts since March. Runs feel good and turnover feels fast.  

day 5 [optional]
5x 150m long gradual hill sprints- walk rest down
5x 30m short steeper hill sprints- walk rest down as needed.
+
hurdle walks


-will start to incorporate more starts here in the next week or two… still working on sprint conditioning and hopefully you are starting to feel more stable in the sprinting positions at this point… more to come...
