Stadiums

I ran stadiums this morning with Quistypants at Grady. The workout we did was specific to Grady since, as many of you know, the top steps are bigger than the bottom ones. We did four sets, intending to jog half the track in between each set so that we ended up doing two sets on the home side and two sets on the away side.

In the end, we ended up doing one set, jogging a 200 to the other side, doing the second set, jogging another 200 back to the other side, doing the third set, and then just resting for about 30-60 seconds before completing the 4th set (we were a little pressed for time).

Anyway, in case anyone is interested, this was the format for each set:

1 full stadium
walk all the way down
1 full stadium
walk halfway down to where the little steps end (that people would use to get down during an event)
1 half stadium on the little steps
walk halfway down to where the little steps end
1 half stadium on the little steps
walk all the way down

Quisty McCoker says you should walk down because it's bad for your knees. She also says when taking the big stairs at the bottom (and even on the little stairs at the top) down, you should switch feet. For optimal knee health.

We started with a 1/2 mile jog warmup, followed by some agility exercises (with the ladder dealie- Wood, is this what you're talking about with the "running form stuff" for the Rival track practices? If not, what are you talking about?). We finished off with Eileen's infamous ab/push-up workout. I can post that if people want, but I'd have to go back and find my list from a long time ago.
