Today's Training: Sprint Intervals/Plyos

  As part of a warmup for a baseball game later today I went out and did some sprint intervals on the turf at the local college. As I've said before these "new age" turf surfaces are great to do sprints on as they are easier on the joints than synthetic tracks but still give better energy return than grass without the sprain/twist your ankle risk.

Warmup: Lateral squats, arm circles, leg swings, toe walks/heel walks, Cross crawls, quad rocks, Figure 4 stretch, march series

Workout: Sprint intervals-3 x 4 @ 25 meters w/30 seconds between sprints. 2 min. between sets.
    Plyo step-ups: 3 x 12; Bear crawl-35 meters

Comments: Good, relatively quick session. Feeling better sooner in these sprint sessions and trying to figure out why that is. 
    The Bear crawls are just that....a bear. Heart rate was about 85% of heart rate max. They are no joke.

Train hard and train smart!
