Fun Speed Drill to End Your Warm-Up With: Follow the Leader 🏃♂️ Here is a drill I took with a local football team at the end of the warm up. In pairs, one person is the leader and the other is the follower. The leader shuffles, and the follower tracks their movement until the leader decides when to go to a line on either side. The follower aims to beat them or tag them before they reach the line. ⬆ Speed ⬆ Reaction Time ⬆ Learning to be in an athletic position to move quickly in any direction. Progress by adding a turn and going back to the middle line, or try different starting positions. Races always provide fun, intent, and competitiveness to the group, so try to add races in your practice throughout the week. Give it a go and share how you get on. #speed #warmups #strengthandconditioning #sportstraining

WEDNESDAY WISDOM: STRONGER TOGETHER Piggy-backing on my "pack" post from Monday, my Wednesday Wisdom is this: We are stronger together. There's a race going on right now called Big's Backyard Ultra, where runners run just over 4 miles every hour on the hour, until there's only 1 person left. Once that happens, the race is over. They can't do it alone. A few years ago, it was impressive to see runners make it 24, 30, 40, even 50 hours. Imagine that - more than 2 full days, running 4+ miles every hour, only ending when that 2nd to last person standing says "Ok, I've had enough". And then, it's over for the last man standing. The world championship of this race is happening right now - and they are on lap 99. Yes, you read that right. LAP NINETY-NINE!!! There are 6 runners left, including Harvey Lewis from Cincinnati!! They're together, pushing themselves and each other as far as they can go, doing it together - Until they're alone, and then it ends. The power of this teamwork, the comraderie, the grit and determination, the "one more lap, you can do it, come on!!" comments from those around them and those remaining, have resulted in multiple personal bests and country bests. And it's not over!! These men are stronger together, going WAY outside of their comfort zones for the good of themselves, and the good of the group. That's a powerful lesson - find those you can count on, those you can rely on, and work together to break through barriers that you never thought possible. I can promise you - they're possible. #monarch #wednesdaywisdom #bigsbackyardultra #strongertogether https://lnkd.in/eiQx6aPV

Today I've hit an interesting personal milestone: I finished 4 consecutive 10Km runs in 4 weeks. Each race has been agonizing, with paces > 6:05min/Km and wanting to quit several times. But I am still proud, considering that I was unable to jog for more than 3 minutes straight when I started training in June. There have been two key factors to achieve this: - Setting a training plan and sticking to it. - Comitting to deadlines by signing up to the races. But what if I told you that there is a better way? Eight years ago I was in a similar place, severely overweight and having difficulty to perform any extended physical activities. I was able to turn it around and I ended up running 15Km at a ~5:30 pace without much trouble. How did I achieve that back then? The main difference (besides being younger, of course) is that this year I was alone for the most part, and eight years ago I did it with friends. A group of work colleagues wanted to take on running and we started going for a ~2 mile run around the office once a week. After a month or two, some of us decided that one day wasn't enough and we started meeting a second day. At some point we extended our running loop to three miles. Then we added a third day per week; and after a while I was also running on the weekends by myself or with other friends. It didn't matter that it was the middle of August in Texas, or there was a downpour. We loved what we were doing and there was nothing stopping us. So what is the life lesson here? You can either have an iron will and a plan, or you can surround yourself with people that will challenge you and push you to be better (the second being infinitely more enjoyable). Big shoutout to Chris Olfers, Seth Hubbell and Casey Kulm for pushing me in Austin (there were many other folks, but these guys stuck the longest IIRC 💪 ), and Jesús Lanchas Sampablo for helping me to finish the race today! #motivation #goals #teamwork

"Not every fall I've had has been quite so epic, but I learned that it's worth getting up every time." - Heather Dorniden This video of Heather stumbling, getting up, and winning is epic. It never fails to inspire and awe each time. In 2008, Heather was competing in the Minnesota Big Ten Indoor Championship 600m race. Heather was the favorite, but midway through the run, she stumbled against the heel of another runner and fell. That's at 1:07 in this video. There's Heather, sprawled on the track, other runners racing past her. That's it, you think. The race is over. Yet, incredibly, Heather gets up. And sprints. Faster than anyone else. Bit by bit, she overtakes the other runners. And, in a stirring comeback, wins. Unexpected stumbles usually derail even the most determined people. And eventually, we have to get back on our feet. The question is how fast we get up and what we do next. Can a stumble lead to remarkable victory? Generally not. But sport is often a metaphor for life. Because who hasn't fallen down? As Heather said later: "I always tell people this race isn't just about never giving up; it's about discovering what you're capable of when you are given the opportunity to rise above adversity." So, my takeaways from Heather Dorniden: ▶️ You can stumble and fall. It's what you do afterward that counts. ▶️ Impossible seems so possible with self-belief. ▶️ It's never too late. If you stumble, make it part of the dance. What is your comeback experience? Video source: Galen Fott, Youtube #sport #motivation #running #storytelling

4 continuous days of running. That is what the winner will have to do to win The World Championships of Backyard Ultra. Backyard is a race where runners do 6.71k loop per hour, on the hour, every hour till only one person is left. A last person standing event. World Champs started yesterday in Tennessee. 75 of the best Backyard runners are competiting. 24 hours in. 160k covered. 73 of the 75 still running. But here is a wild thing. There is one winner. Everyone else gets Did Not Finish. But only the winner doesn’t find their limit. Everyone else does. So maybe the winner doesn’t win! Because finding your limit is the real win! Endless loops. Hard to tell winners from those who don’t. Bit like start up life. Link to follow the race is in the comments. I’ll update when the winner wins. Probably Wednesday. PS. Just to be clear. I am watching. not participating. But i do have a long event coming up soon :-)

The secret to getting the most out of life is finding challenges suitable to your time and place. So let's talk about a crazy event called steeplechase. For those of you unfamiliar with the #trackandfield event it is a 3000-meter race (about 200 yards short of two miles) over thirty-five 42"-high wooden 4" X 4" barriers that do not budge if you hit them. There are also seven water jumps with the same 42" barrier in front of an inclined zero-depth pool 13 feet in length. At its base just under the barrier, the water depth is 2.5 feet. An adept steeplechaser is able to navigate this water jump getting just one foot wet during the race. As a former high jumper (6'1.5") and triple jumper (40'4") I was often able to leap beyond the twelve feet of water, land on the one-foot zone where the incline ended and keep both feet dry for a major part of the race. That's an advantage as wet shoes are slightly heavier. In this photo I'm stepping on the barrier in front of the water jump to launch over the water. Thus the event requires agility as well as endurance. My life in #basketball and other sports helped make steeplechase a choice event for me. I was able to run just under 9:20 in this event, qualifying for D3 nationals and winning three conference championships, even with all that hair on my young head. I cannot imagine steeplechasing these days, but man was it fun in its day. Youth is not wasted on the young. We move on to other endeavors. #running #run #track #competition #olympics
