This week In track (Sectionals)

Just a reminder, run extra hard this week the results will show up to sectionals with you.

It's the eye of the tiger, it's
the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Endurance

Warm up

This week is a circuit. You are going to be jogging around the track at as fast a pace as you can handle. It is okay to start out fast then have to slow down if necessary. Or you can speed up if you feel like you have recovered some. At the beginning and end of each turn is a "station". At each station you will do one of the exercises below then move on to the next exercise at each turn. Start with a jog then the first exercise. Then a 70 yard sprint at the end. So try to plan on finishing at a straight away. These can be really great if you do them with people and race them. Bring WATER to this track workout, you are going to need it. Work your tail off so you dont get your tail worked off. So at "station 1" you will start with 10 scissor jumps and then jog to station 2 for pushups.

Split squat jumps- start from a forward lunge position ( you want you knee to touch the ground) and jump. While in the air you are going to switch which foot was forward and land in the forward lunge position and jump switching your foward foot again. This is one rep.
