Spring Break Continues; Dynamic Stretching and Drills

Thurs.--My plan today is to warm up and do some dynamic stretching and drills by moving through the video footage.

Wed--Went to the Y in the early AM for a little legwork.  Went to NYC with Bria soon afterwards to see Wicked. Spring Break continues.

I'm a little old school with my warm-up and (static) stretching.  I've been thinking a lot about dynamic stretching and sprint/warm-up drills.  Here's a collection of the videos that have caught my attention:

Here's a useful handout as well.

I plan to incorporate more dynamic stretching into my routine.  I also plan to hit the leg weights more.

Tuesday--ran 3.3-3.4 on Rustin's XC course, some with Bria, who paused to do 6x100 on the grass. Went to the Y later on to do a little legwork.

Monday--went to Westtown's track with Bria so that she could do her assigned workout, a 200-400-600-400-200 ladder.  My plan was to do 6x100m accelerations and join her for 1-2 repeats. Went to the Y in the evening for a little running and lifting.
