Today was a pretty intense work out. Practice started slow, since we are short staffed this week due to nationals we were on our own for our vaulting drills and ran out of ideas to fill the 45 mins we had. Finally by about 4:30 we got to the work out. It was a pretty tough one, 4x full stadiums with 300 m recovery jog in between. Also we were supposed to run three steps at a time, since I am only 5'2" and not all legs I ran 2 at a time, because I would not have done a lot of actual running if I had tried 3. The first one felt great. By the second I was definitely starting to feel it. By the third I kinda cheated a little and it was a very slow jog across the bleachers between stairs. Then Coach Lou stopped us between the third and fourth to give us a little rest so our last set would be worth doing. The last one felt good again too. I was pretty proud of myself for be the first girl done, the next one behind by about 200 meters, I even outpaced a few of the guys. Overall, it was 24 flights up, most took 32 steps except for the one short one that's closer to 20. After this was accomplished we hit the weight room for a hard upper body day.
3x8 bench at 115lbs (80% of max)
2x10 Lat pulls at 87.5lbs
2x10 NRG at 87.5 lbs
2x10 shoulder press at 50 lbs (much better than monday!)
2x10 incline press at 50 lbs
2x10 low rows at 25 lbs
Overall much better than my lift on monday, but I know I will be paying for it tomorrow!
Finished with a quick set of 2 min abs with 25 side crunches each side added to the end.
Today was certainly a rough day but it was nice to get some real work done, my fitness level has definitely dropped some since the beginning of the indoor season.
