Day 60: Parachute Sprints and Recovery

Last night for Track Club, we took out a new toy, the parachute, and did some slight resistance sprints with the chute, followed by no chute. 

We did 5 with the chute, then 3 without on 10m sprints.

After that, it was 3, 20m sprints with the chute and then we ended up doing 5 without. 

We started with just 2 without and got motivated to get a lower time.  Marc ended up getting under his 3.35 goal with a 3.34, so it was a great note to end on with that.

It was nice to see that just over a month ago when we started, our 10m and 20m times are going down and our Flying 20's are down even more as well.

This morning, I was feeling pretty beat up, then I looked at my log book and realized I have done 14 workouts in about 10 days straight, maybe that's why I'm feeling a bit beat up this morning.

I decided to just roll out my body on the foam roller for a good 15 minutes, which energized things up more than I expected.  It was a good thing to do and help the body recover better.

Tonight I'll do another Track Club workout, so I should feel pretty fresh for that.

Lent has also started up for me, so I plan to cut back a lot on my kryptonite, CHIPS, and if I do eat chips, I'll be going with a healthier option I've found and keep that at a minimum.

I'm also planning to pray more and reduce TV time at night, just shutting it off and reading more things.  I got some faith-filled books over the summer and have yet to crack them open.  Lent will be a good time for that. 

Success Starts Here!
