December Practice

Looking forward to getting started. Should be a good year for us individually, as a group and as a team. We have a lot of hurdlers this year, which is great. High jump is looking good, too.

When we begin Dec. 1, we will meet in the conference room on the top floor of the Kern Center at 4:15. After that we break into groups and do the workouts.

Throughout the year, we go 4:15 to 6 p.m. We typically practice Monday through Thursday and sometimes Friday when there is no Saturday meet.

On Mondays, I will work with men's high hurdles. Women high hurdlers, all intermediate hurdlers (except those also working highs) and high jumpers will train with the sprint group in the Kern Center.

On Tuesdays, I will work with all high jumpers. Hurdlers are doing recovery/tempo training with sprinters or working on a field event or two -- throws or vault and maybe horizontal jumps.

On Wednesdays, I will work with women's high hurdles. Sprinters and men hurdlers and jumpers will be going to the Pettit for sprint work.

On Thursdays, it's throws, horizontal jumps or recovery/tempo work.

On Fridays, I will work with intermediate hurdlers. Others will lift on their own any time that day.

Saturday and Sunday are off days. Rest and study.

After 3 weeks of this, you get Christmas break. You will need to figure out how you can train on your own during that time. I will post some ideas here that require little or no equipment or facilities.
