Don't worry Teddy, the workouts aren't mandatory...yet. I had just gotten a few requests from people who wanted to start getting in shape for the in-season track workouts. Some people are hoping to lose some weight, others just want to get their endurance up. We'll also be working on strengthening so that we've got a good base for the track workouts later and to avoid injury. I like the intervals for endurance, and they take very little time and can be done after other work, so we will be doing those all year probably (although we will probably shift towards speedwork as we get close to regionals). We'll be doing plyos and stadiums for strengthening. I also want to do a little speedwork, so that we can be working on our form all year long. It sounds like a lot but it moves pretty quickly, should keep you from getting bored, and doesn't take too long overall.
Here's the plan for Sunday at Grady at 3pm. Should take around 30-45 minutes I'd guess.
Warmup
3x15 ankle hops
2x20 1 or 2 leg side-to-side jumps
10 falling starts (10 yards)
Stadiums
Intervals

Wood- can we get a brief description of each component (we've probably got stadiums and intervals down at this point).
I'm going to post about falling starts (and more) tomorrow hopefully. We did ankle hops and side-to-sides last year.
Ankle hops - keep legs straight (though don't lock your knees) and hop up and down using your calves.
Side-to-sides - Hop for distance side to side on either one or two legs.
