Warm Up: Can't remember. I guess I need to update my blog daily!


Skill:  POSE running drills  

Pose running is what running is supposed to look like. You literally look like you are striking a pose when you run. The supporting foot stays underneath you (not in front), and the other leg comes straight up, with the knee bent and the toes down. When that foot hits the floor, all your body's weight should land on the middle and balls of your foot, but never on the heel.  Your upper body should lean slightly forward, and the more lean, the faster you should  go because your legs will have to move faster to keep your from falling forward. So my running form is completely messed up because I run with my foot out in front, I always land on my heel, and I am pretty sure I never lean forward! I knew there was a reason I suck at running!
 
Conditioning: For Time, with best POSE form:
- 50 Double Unders
- 400m Run
- 40 Double Unders
- 400m Run
- 30 Double Unders
- 400m Run
- 20 Double Unders
- 400m Run
- 10 Double Unders

15:?? with single unders (200, 160, 120, 80, 40)

I was told by Erica not to do double unders, because I guess the "jarring"  is bad for the baby this early on. Not sure if that is true or not, but I listened to her anyway. I would think later on it could be more of a problem because of the weight and possible ripping when I am bigger, but I don't feel like it is a problem right now. But I did single unders anyway, which was fine because I had zero energy.
