I start to remember what this winter work is all about……..
Start with hurdle jumps – 2-legged and zig-zags. Quite a few clattered over while we find our rythm.
Then off to the sand pit to play. Single leg hops, and bunny hops. 3 sets of each.
Then it’s onto the sleds. 4x40m at 25kg for me. I should possibly be working with a bit more weight at this stage but in a group we can’t easily change and I am a bigger unit than anybody else. It’s then just adapting to the weight. It’s actually quite good over that distance to mix the acceleration mechanics with a bit more speed at the end.
Then we wrap up with some continuous relays around the, somewhat muddy, inner field. 4x60m probably. I do my usual thing of fretting endlessly about optimising baton change though that’s really not part of the drill.
A good session, not as gut-wrenchingly exhausting as Tuesday but it will take a bigger toll on the muscles in the coming days!
