mac: there is not anything wrong with a few, or ten, drinks. :cheers:
borg: these are three very basic exercises that i did not hate.
1st. the exercise is continuous-sprint to the six. sprint back to the endline. sprint to the 18. sprint back to the endline. jog to the other endline. sprint there. jog back. repeat.
2nd: run from one endline to the other. jog back. pick an interval to do the exercise on. 2/3s of the exercise should be done jogging. the other 1/3 should be done running e.g. for a one minute interval: 20 seconds there, 40 back.
3rd: there are many variations of this exercise that all follow a basic formula: agility, plyometric, etc. drill; a sprint; a jog. the simplest that i have done: five cones set up in an l shape.
cone
5 yards
cone 10 yards cone 10 yards cone 10 yards cone
start at the purple cone. sprint backward to the black cone. immediately sprint forward to the purple cone. cut at the purple cone and sprint to the blue cone. jog back to the purple cone. repeat to the green cone, then the red cone.
if i was to do this exercise. i'd probably do x sets of 9. each set would be 3x blue. 3x green. 3x red.
if you like to run, i'd probably just do some middle-distance stuff mixed with some sprinting, but i don't like to run.
on another note: i've started working out with weights (i was just doing pushups at school). i've never worked out seriously, but it will give me something to do over the summer. i'll use this thread to talk about my progress (i'll post my starting point in a few weeks when i get used to working out with a bar).
