The Rope

Welcome everyone...most of us have experienced at least one "on
demand" moment when competing. On demand moments should
produce that rush of adrenalin needed. When ever I hear "guns up,"
"runners up," I feel that rush...an awesome feeling...reaching out for
all that gusto. Rather that feeling than the feeling of backing away,
shrinking. When you enter that world of shrink, it's an ugly feeling.
Friday of this week I was having breakfast with a friend of mine. She is a long distance runner and the subject of adrenalin and the
runner's clock. Her questions..."how do I build endurance and catch
runners ahead of me?" Answer...build endurance with a jump rope.
No weights on the rope. Roping three days a week. Five 30 sec. sets. Jump 30 sec and rest 30 sec. Beyond the first week five 60 sec. sets. Always landing on the balls of your feet. The clock...every competitor should have that internal clock working. You feel what time it is and not have to look at a watch. On demand comes from within. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com
