Re: Off-season training
Thanks for the feedback, Alan -
As far as the sprinting, etc goes, I'm not doing it for Cardio, I'm doing for speed & explosiveness & general GPP. At this point its not a priority in my training, so it gets done when I have time & can fit it in. I'm resting between sets more than I would if my focus was on cardio & the distances are very short. Sprints are typically 10-30 yards, with the total distance for the entire session being <150-200 yards for example. It actually makes a great warmup for lifting. Not to mention, I actually enjoy doing this stuff, which has as much to do with it as anything...
Also as far as the drills, 5 days a week is a target, but I don't hit that often. And yes these are drilling sessions, where I take 1 exercise & work on footwork. These sessions are typically 10-25 minutes, and not strenuous. With stones, I will typically do some throws, but the focus is technique not distance. With WFD or hammer, I don't have the implements, so I'm working with no implement or sometimes with a orange traffic cone, to provide some resistance. the only time I'm able to work with actual implements is at the OC Highlander's practice sessions on the weekends, but right now I have kids soccer commitments every weekend...
So I sort of put this together, with the different exercise session having different priorities. Lifting 3 times a week is non-negotiable. If I miss Monday due to work or family, then I'll do Monday's workout on Tuesday, for example. For the other stuff, I do it if I have time & can fit it in. I work from home most of the time, and I work out in my garage, so this kind of schedule works very well for me & its not enough where I'm going to get burned out.
