Week 19: 3/10, 3/9, 3/8, 3/7

3/10 KC/VF. Some were off. Some did field events. Some did the VF circuit and others the KC circuit.

3/9 MU. Joe, Logan, Chris, Spencer, Brad, Kim, Kasey and Des all came out to MU track to take advantage of another 60-degree day to do some hurdling. Warm up of hurdle mobility, leg swings and cycles, skips and back and forth low hurdle progression. 400H specialists did 3x1 3-pt starts, 3x2 3-pt starts and 3x3 on turn with 20m run in. High hurdlers did 4x10 at 30/39 (-2/-3 women, -1/-2/-3 men). Most did a combo workout, with 2-3 HH reps and 2-3 400H reps. Stretched.

3/8 VF/KC. Temps in upper 60s. Des trained outdoors with a circuit on Viets. Kasey, Spencer, Brad and Alandra were inside high jumping. Following warm up and some short approach jumps, they took fulls at challenging heights. In general, we worked on approach speed and maintaining curve and lean away from bar into takeoff. Brad moved approach back a foot to get his apex over the bar and not beyond it. Spencer was a little quicker and had a better approach angle on some jumps. Alandra blew past takeoff point a few times but was a little quicker this week and she managed to avoid jumping toward the bar most of the time. Worked on more active arms a few times. Kasey had a lot of good jumps and was most consistent of the group.

3/7 VF. Temps in the 60s greeted us on this first day back from break. Warm up included rotations, swings, cycles, skips and carioca followed by an up/back hurdle progression from 10 to 35 yards. Featured part of workout was 2x2 series of 100m over 3 hurdles near race speed, walk endline, 140m diagonal run at relaxed speed, walk endline, sprint 1 hurdle over 60m. Walked remainder of perimeter back to start between reps -- and one additional perimeter between sets. Ended with bodyweight exercises and stretches. On hand were Brad, Joe, Chris, Jess, Kasey, Logan. Kim trained with sprinters. Holly trained earlier in day. Spencer was missing. Des working?
