The session will continue to build on the acceleration work we did last week (wall drills) with a focus on the first three steps and a number of runs over 20/30 mtrs finishing with 1 run to 60mtrs from 3 point.
It is crucial that we all understand a three point start position so please click on button "Three Point Start" above to see youtube instruction.

Three Point Start Practice and First three steps:
1) Athlete gets in crouch start position.

GO -
3 to 10mtrs : 4 minute break (we need to be quick/explosive/aggressive not tired)
3 to 30 mtrs: at least 3 minutes between each and a 4 minute break after last one
2 to 40 mtrs: 4 minutes between each one and 8 mins when finished
1 to 50 mtrs: 4 mins rest
