11/29/2017 0 Comments Week 11I've missed a couple weeks on my blog updates. But I still have been working on trying to beat my personal record. My time has come down by a few milliseconds from my orignal personal record which was 13.74 seconds. Which is better than nothing but that's not exactly where I wanted my time to be so I have to work harder than before. I went to track practices, and our new coach had us doing a lot of conditioning in order for us to get our bodies in the right condition we needed them to be in, in order for us to be able to run quickly and do the things that we need.
After we got dressed for practice we ran two laps around the track which is nothing. That's light work. Then after running two laps we would do warm ups, and the warm ups that he had us doing was weird, but in the long run I know it's going to help everyone on the team. After doing warm ups we'd go into doing conditioning. We did some crazy stuff, we did something called "Eagles" or "War Eagles". So, when you do those you have to put your leg in a hurdle position, which is one leg back, one leg straight forward and you lay straight back. You must make sure your leg that you have back doesn't come up. It's important to stretch so you don't catch a cramp in your leg while you're running, because once you get a cramp in your leg it's over with, you might not be able to run any more of your events and on top of that it's painful. You're supposed to stretch and drink a lot of water to resist cramps. Stretching is very important part of running track period. So make sure you do that, that's going to help increase your speed as well.
