Speed Play – Week 5

Distance : 5.0 mi
Time 50

I got to Mount Royal University a little early so was able to squeeze in a few minutes of hamstring strengthening before the work out.

The warm up changed this week, from 4,3,2 to 3,3,3.

• 3 Min @ 65%
• 3 Min @ 75%
• 3 Min @ 85%

Then dynamic stretching and five sets of strides.  The workout was really simple and tough.

• 5 x 2 minutes @ 85% with a 1 minute recovery
• 5 x 200 m (0:35) @ 85% with a 1 minute recovery

Then foam rollers and 3 sets of abs work. Damn that is tough doing abs work after speed is just painful. Hopefully there is a benefit to it.
