Cathedral Track and Field 2020

Here is your final run / workout of the week. This is the one that cements your commitment to yourself/ your sport. I encourage you to get out there and “give it a go!”
Proud of your hard work.
Now go to the video section. Watch the “Saturday Recap” video before watching your respective workout. Have a good training session; try to get on soft surfaces if possible. Focus on stretching, hydrating, and foam rolling this weekend!
God bless ,
Coach Patrick

Kuddos to Patrick for his video productions!!! I encourage all of you to watch his “Encouragement” and “Feature Athlete” videos!

I also encourage you to send pictures or videos of a portion of your workouts. Let’s have some fun together, but remotely! Check out my burpee video.

Today’s workout: Go for a 10 minute slow jog as a warm up. After that, continue for another 5-10 minutes and make it an interval run with short bursts of sprints. The jog should be very slow (as a recovery-you may walk in between sprints) and then sprint for 3-7 seconds (do these hard).

After that, find a video like “yoga for track sprinters” to stretch your muscles and work on range of motion.

Happy Friday to you all! Hoping that you’re doing well and that your workout yesterday was a success. Today’s another opportunity to challenge yourself, and keep putting in work.
You can start by going to the video section under “media”. (for those of you who are just adding teampages)
Please watch the videos in this order 1. The “Encouragement” video 2. Watch your respective workout plan for the day; finishing with 3. Our “Featured Athlete #1” video.
Proud of you all. Keep it up!
God bless,
Coach Patrick

To EVERYONE: SCROLL DOWN ON THE ANNOUNCEMENTS. DON’T MISS YOUR WORKOUT.

SPEED! Let’s work those fast twitch muscle fibers.

Be smart and keep warm clothes (arms and legs covered) on during the duration of this workout.

Warm up as normal (15-20 minutes of jogging, dynamic stretches, A skip, high knees, sprinters butt kicks, etc.)

4 x Flying 40s
– set up 2 markers 40 meters apart. (If you can’t measure it, take 40 large steps)
– Do a 10 – 15 meter acceleration into the first marker

• FLY for the 40 meters (like you are in competition) *
  – Have full recovery (heart rate down just under 120 bpm) before the next one.

Cool down with the dynamic stretches, A skip, etc. Static stretch after that for 10 minutes.

Good morning everyone!
Hope everyone is doing well and working hard. Until I get more creative, here’s what the throwing crew should do. As Fleege said, a group of 8 short sprints will be awesome, do body squats throughout the day to work those legs, and get some core work in (crunches, Russian twists, etc) Please also work on your form with the power position. I will be getting some videos up shortly but until then do these things to get you ready.*
