Week 3 (PoseTV) - March 5th, 2014

Update:
Although the wintry weather is a beautiful backdrop for the season, it hasn't been conducive to running, along with the gym closings its been throwing off our normal schedule. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing considering the start of The Open. Tapering down on workouts and allowing rest time is key. Especially before we start back into the Running Season in this area.

Below is the list for Week 3 Continuing Education and Drills to work on at your convenience.

Drill Session 1:
Pony for 15 ft.
Timber Drill x 10/Side
Timber Drill in Pose x 10/Side
Running Backwards  for 15-20ft turn continue 15-20ft
x 5

Drill Session 2 (Seperate Day):
Complete the Drill Session from last week again.

Coaching Points:
-In Pony make sure you are really driving those hips towards and working on your Fall taking you forward. This will be our main focus since the goal is to Run Faster.
-Timber Drills make sure you are focusing on your foot placement, don't take a huge step.
-Running Backwards, just don't hit anything :)

Week of February 17th-21st

Workout A:
EMOM (:30 Intervals, 20min total)
100m x 40
-Form is the focus

Workout B:
4 x 400m
Rest 2 min
-Speed is the focus

Coaching Points:
These workouts can be completed at any time during this week. As usual, outside of CrossFit class is best, but if no option, complete after if still feeling strong. Workout A could be done on an off day, should not be strenuous.

Additional Drill Work:
-Watch the following videos from the PoseTV YouTube channel. Over the next four week we will work on some drills outside of the traditional CFE drills to help improve our awareness and body position.

This week you will need to:
  • Video Yourself Running 
    • Dartfish, or Coach's Eye is preferred since you can slowmo and look at it frame by frame
    • Post it online so we can evaluate
  • Understand the Springness and Pose Position
  • Practice Bodyweight Perception Drills
    • These can be very difficult, try all variations discussed
  • You do not need to run a 5k this week
