GAP

Hello and welcome everyone...workout transitional training. This is
critical in my conditioning and building endurance. My blueprint
contains 33 drills...progressive in nature. Sports I compete in...track
and field: 50m, 100m, 200m, 4oom, high jump and long jump. Also,
tennis and racquetball. So, over my training period (varies, but
usually 9 months) my drills evolve from one set to another. Each set has 4/5 drills. This past week I added the sled pull. Started at 30
lbs and will increase to 40, 50 and 60 lbs over the next 6 weeks. I
don't just pull, I sprint in the sled work. Imperative to keep correct
technique and posture. This wk.I will add drill on a curved treadmill.
I sprint as fast as I can for 45 sec. 5 sets with a one min. rest period
between each set. I will end this drill after 4 weeks and train outdoors
and begin speed bursts in the track. Using the interchangable parts
system, I create muscle confusion, focus and interest in what I have
to do to get ready to compete at peak performance level. One last
and important note...at some point in the training/drill period, I
begin to shorten the rest period. I call this "close the GAP." This
technique enables me to develop mental toughness.

Hello and welcome everyone...this the 3rd and last segment of my
work out/training drills. All told, I have 43 different drills and will have listed 14 in my blogs. Let's get started:
9) sprint forward and backwards 10m., 5 sets. 10) hops, one foot at
a time, 4 directions. 30 sec each set, 5 sets. 11) sprint backwards
for 10m., turn quickly and sprint forward for 20m. 12) ball throw,
(soccer ball) overhead, turn quickly and sprint forward and try and
catch ball on first bounce. Key, go all out to catch up to ball.
13) speed bursts. Go about 60% of max for 10m and then burst
to top speed for 30m. 14) once a week, do the three exercises you
avoid...drills that are hard for you to do. No matter what sport or
competition, the drills listed in these blogs will not only help you,
but will "drive" you to reach your goals. Have a great workout.

Have a meaningfull life everyone...JimmyO
