3 TYPES OF FITNESS YOU SHOULD KNOW The other night I was explaining to one of my middle schoolers different types of fitness. -Peak Fitness... Being ready to perform your best possible efforts repeatedly. This is during the championship time of the year, or playoffs, etc. This training is often very intense. Intensity referring to the percentage of best possible performances during the hard days. Often very tactical with high level strategy to compete against the best This type of training can only be done for limited time frames, often 2-4 months. It’s very demanding on the body and mind. And eventually performance will stagnant so the timing is important. The maturity and cumulative years of experience & fitness of an athlete influence how much of this they can handle. More experienced & better trained athletes can handle longer periods of this -Being in Shape Enough for Peak Training In order to do workouts that lead to being in peak performance, you have to have a solid base of training. Peak training too early can lead to injury and peaking too soon. Peaking too soon leads to improvement getting stagnant. The bigger the fitness base and history is, the longer an athlete can train maximally. To have athletes coming in to a sport season with a good fitness foundation, most of off-season training is building up to peak performance training. The more time athletes spend here throughout the year, with well planned peaks & rest phases, the higher the peak performance can be when the season is underway -Basic Fitness This is being fit enough to make it through a man average practice and not feel like you’re dying. Athletes who don’t workout consistently all off-season find themselves spending often 3-4 weeks building this up. It’s often quite painful though the workouts are so basic. Where are you in the training phase? @gbarnhisel

SPRINTING MAKES YOU FASTER The best way to run faster is...to sprint fast! As a sprinter of course this is quite obvious and well know so long as high speed volume is managed well. Even for endurance athletes, raising your speed ceiling gives you a bigger reserve of speed to work with. ... In addition, for endurance athletes, repeated interval sprints and fast runs help with building you up to run at a faster pace without enduring any more fatigue. So basically sprinting improves your endurance. If you are ONLY doing long slow running, you're leaving a lot on the table. I'm glad these young ladies were just sooooo excited for 8 x 200m sprints. I was impressed by these 2 middle school distance runners busting out 200s in the mid 30s back to back. About 10 weeks until it's cross country season!

Conquered 10mi this morning The runners high I got off of this 7:30am run was off the hook. Some runs feel so good after I almost feel like I need a cigarette when I’m done. No, I’ve never smoked a cigarette.

Saturday morning runs are life
