Thursday 26 October 2006: SPRINT 8
SPRINT 8Today's workout is based on a sprint protocol designed by Phil Campbell, author of Ready, Set GO! Synergy Fitness for Time-Crunched Adults.
The sprints are progressive. The first sprint begins at a jog and climaxes at 50% of maximum effort; the second sprint goes from 40% at the beginning to 60% at the climax; the third sprint goes from 50-70%; the fourth sprint from 60-80%; the fifth sprint from 70-90%; the sixth sprint reaches 95% of maximum effort; the seventh and eighth sprints are run at 95-100% effort.
If you are not accustomed to the type of sprint training we do around here, do not max out on the final three sprints - climax between 80-90% of maximum effort.

It has been raining here last night and all day today. I decided to substitute an indoor sprint workout for the WOD.
5 minutes - Jump Rope
4 x 15 sec. Rope Sprints w/1min. Rest
4 x 15 sec. Mtn. Climber Sprints w/1min. Rest
5 minutes - Jumping Jacks
I performed the Mtn. Climber Sprints with each foot on a Frisbee on a linoleum floor. WOW! The Frisbees really enable you to pump your legs hard. Great for getting the heartrate up.

Sorry guys, lovely sunny day here in Germany. Unfortunately, by the time I got home it was dark and I was late for dinner. After I´d eaten I was so tired I went straight to bed.
Never mind, it´s weekend tomorrow - I´ll do some catching up, I usually do my sprint intervals on a Sunday morning - hope the weathers fine!!!
