Is it getting easier yet?

As the weeks progress, your workouts should feel a bit easier. The first two weeks are tough because you are probably not used to the strains you put on your body. The workouts are tough and the body has endured a lot more than it is used to.

As week three begins, your body should feel a bit lighter when you run and not as heavy. Here is the workout for week three:

Monday:
Jog two laps around the field, stretch and do drills. After drills, make sure you grab some water and get ready to run.

Long sprinters: run 600 meters, walk a 400, run 400 meters, walk a 200, run 200 meters, rest for five minutes, then do it again.

Short sprinters: run 300 meters, walk a 200, run 200 meters, walk a 100, run 100 meters, rest for five minutes, then do it two more times.

Tuesday:
Jog two laps around the field, stretch and do drills. After drills, make sure you grab some water and get ready to run.

Long sprinters and short sprinters: both run 12 times 100 meters. Walk a 100 inbetween.

Wednesday:
Both long and short sprinters warm up and then head to the weight room to do an upper body workout.

Thursday:
Go to a hill somewhere that is safe and mark off 200 meters. Both long and short sprinters run 10 times up a 200 meter hill. If you can not find a hill, go to a gym and put a treadmill on an incline of at least five.

Friday:
Jog two laps around the field, stretch and do drills. After drills, make sure you grab some water and get ready to run.

Long sprinters: run six 300 meters. Walk 200 meters in between each one.

Short sprinters: run 10 times 110 meters, walking 100 meters in between each one.

If this is not getting easier for you, take your time and don't worry about your speed. If this is getting easier for you, feel free to pick up the pace and challenge yourself during these workouts.
