Wednesday 3.10.10

This is a picture of what good running technique should look like. The runner has good posture, a forward lean, and his legs are forming a perfect "figure 4." This means that he is pulling his heels straight up off the ground while the other foot makes contact with the ground underneath his body weight, with the weight on the mid-foot rather than the heel. He is not extending his back leg too far to the rear, and while not pictured, he will not reach too far out in front of him with the next stride.

SWOD:
Clean and Jerk practice.

Metcon:
1 Mile Run
then
"Death By 10 Meters"

WOD Tips:
For the SWOD, keep the weight very light, and practice technique.

For the metcon, run a 1 mile time trial, which means an all-out effort. Recover for 5-10 minutes. For "Death by 10 Meters", mark off a 10-meter course. In the first minute, run 10 meters. At the start of the second minute, run 20 meters (10 out and 10 back). At the start of the third minute run 30 meters. Continue in this manner until you can no longer repeat the distance. You must cross the line completely on each 10 meter run!
