3/14/2007 Strength & Yasso 800's

Strength Training

I'm starting to get into the groove of the new workout. Doing things like alternating between the medicine ball toe touches and the medicine ball twists instead of resting and doing 2 consecutive sets of each will help bring down the time I spend in the gym.

Yasso 800's - The Speed workouts Continue

I hit the local high school track for some more speed training. I wasn't getting quite up to the speeds that I was last week, but I just wasn't into it all that much today. I still got in all 5 800's at a decent pace. If I continue to do these on the track I might have to think about switching directions on the track half way through the workout. I could definitely feel strain starting to build up on my left side as I was running around the track. My left hip and knee felt tighter than my right side.
