So, the time for speed is here! As the 2013 season wraps up with a few last IM races, us sprinters are gearing up for the 2014 races. Earlier this week, I headed out to the track to run some fast 100m sprints, and although they put me deep into the pain cave, it was well worth it-running fast is hard to acheive, but I feel like I'm putting in the work to get there(I'm not a fast runner, you guys know that). But hopefully the economy phase of training can help with our fast-twitch muscle fibers and increase our speed!
When I was on the track I made sure to have someone photograph me, because I really want to emphasize on form this year and ensure I have no debilitating injuries and optomize my performance. Good form is, as you guys know, forward lean, midfoot strike, and relaxed arms. So, I was thinking hard about these concepts during my run to ensure a good mental and physical workout, and I felt very good about it. It is just now three days after the track session, and I am just now starting to feel not sore, which is crazy, but also a great way to start the fast phase of training! I'm very excited for getting faster, and I hope everybody here is too! Put in the work and you'll be rewarded with some PR's and some race wins. What are your favorite track workouts/speed sessions to get faster?
Happy training guys!
