UP IN ARMS

Welcome everyone...those of us competing in Track & Field know full well the value of the word "PULL." Arm action! In any sprint, race or run we want arm action throughout. However, when we tire, we feel fatigue in our arms and legs first. In sprints and longer "PULL" is your "go" word. Condition your body to feel when it's time. I compete in 50M., 100M., 200M., 400M., I whisper "pull" and "now" half way through the 100&200 and at the 300m mark in the 400m. In later stages of any event, the arms (upper body) carries you. Practice drills...start with a 10lb wt. at first (1) week. A) hold wts. waist high, walking with out front and back motion. Walk for 30m. B) hold wts. waist high, walk and arm motion is up to ear level and back to waist high. Motion should be the same as when you are competing. Walk for 30m. Walks should be brisk. 3X a week. Start running 2nd week. 3 sets each drill. Add 10m each week. Starting 3rd week, also add walking/running backwards. Next week, kegs. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com
