First, I want to take two lines and wish everyone a Happy New Year. I wish you a SB, PB, NR, WR and Age Group records in 2013! Second, there is a contest that’s only open to newsletter subscribers. Last summer, Freelap Track and Field sponsored a series of “Freelap Friday Five” articles where I interviewed 16 top coaches with 5 questions each, mostly in areas of Track & Field and Strength & Conditioning. Take a look at the 16 interviews, and simply enter in the comments why you think that coach was the best in the series. He doesn’t have to be an accomplished coach, as long as his article helped YOU. Boo Schexnayder, Dan Pfaff, Mike Young, Dennis W. Mitchell… there’s even an extensive high jump interview by Dave Kerin and long/triple jump interviews with Kenta’ Bell and UK’s Nick Newman. Be sure to enter your comments on the main contest page: http://speedendurance.com/2012/12/11/win-a-freelap-sprint-athlete-or-sprint-starter-kit/ The winner can choose between the Freelap Sprint Athlete Kit or the Freelap Sprint Starter Kit (a $529 USD value!) Contest Ends: Friday Jan 11, 2013 at midnight PST. Due to customs & duty restrictions, you must be a USA resident to win. Hamstring Pulls I put up a series of 9 articles on Hamstring Pulls. I hope you don’t need them, but you never know! They were written by myself, Derek Hansen, Gerard Mach and Thachvu Ho: http://speedendurance.com/tag/hamstring-pulls/ Sidenote: Gerard Mach of the Mach Drills fame will be re-printing his 1980 classic Sprints and Hurdles. Stay tuned for details. Intensive vs Extensive Tempo One of the top 10 questions I get on email and Facebook is how to implement Intensive and Extensive Tempo. I won’t repeat it as Jim Hiserman answered them for me in a Q&A format from the mail bag:
Best of Dec 2012 As always, here are the best articles for December 2012. Enjoy! http://speedendurance.com/2012/12/ Jimson lee SpeedEndurance.com Curve Running & How to Race the Indoor 200m 300m 400m 2012-12-17 05:35:00-05 I watched several videos this past weekend and I want to comment on 2 things that could be improved in some of the sprinters I watched. That is, (1) race strategy and (2) how to run the curve. For simplicity sake in this discussion, I will assume a standard 200 meter equidistance track of 50 [...] read more... Fireside Chat: Owning the Podium 2012-12-07 08:45:00-05 With the recent Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics and London 2012 Summer Olympics under our belt, what have we learned? Every host nation wants to win the most medals possible, that’s obvious. We don’t want the embarrassment of 1976 Montreal Olympics where the host country won 0 gold medals. (Sadly, that jinx happened again at the [...] read more... Interview with Andreas Behm (Aries Merritt’s Coach) 2012-12-12 09:40:00-05 I am starting to enjoy Glenn Whitney’s Blog SportsCoachRadio.com.

Caffeine is Good for You: 6 Facts 2012-12-13 09:49:46-05 Coffee and caffeine is a stimulant. No arguments here. I’ll go on record that I do drink it every day in everyday life, as well as before track meets. I’ll also go on record I have an espresso after a large Italian meal I read a great summary from Matthew Kadey of Bicycling.com which [...] read more... Catch-22: Electrical Muscle Stimulation Benefits 2012-12-14 04:00:00-05 Here is an interesting story I want to share with you, about the misuse of Electrical Muscle Stimulation. Even though I promote the Globus SpeedCoach, the story has to do with EMS in general. Names have been left out to protect the innocent (or guilty!) I motioned in a pervious blog posts that EMS is [...] read more... 5 Reasons Why YOU Need More Sleep 2012-12-18 09:56:00-05 Sleep is one of my favorite topics, because that is when you really recover from your training. I am guilty of not sleeping enough, like most North Americans who live and die by the alarm clock. Last summer on vacation, I “slept when the sun set” and woke up when “I felt it was time” [...] read more... Christmas Break Workout Ideas 2012-12-19 04:00:00-05 Christmas Break is fast approaching! If you live in Canada or Northeastern USA, that means possibly no indoor track, snow covered outdoor tracks and maybe no weight room. Plus there will be plenty of food and drink everywhere you go. No problem! Here are some logistics to consider. Periodization I wrote How to Write an [...] read more... |
