Speed Workout of the Day
Accelerations
Definition - Acceleration is the rate at which the speed of an object is changing. Acceleration takes place the first 0-30 meters or to about 3-4 seconds from the start of a sprint.
10 x 30 meters (33yards) sprints at 90-95% speed.
The sprints can be done a football field, soccer field, or track
Focus on good form, stay relaxed while working on speed. Full recovery meaning walking rest and stay hydrated. Accelerations are great for developing speed and allowing yourself to be relaxed while sprinting at a high rate of speed.
Make sure you get a good warm up in especially warm up the hamstrings and glutes and this includes doing speed drills. Without a proper warm up your chances are high in pulling a muscle as you are running at a fast pace. Make sure you include a few warm up sprints at 50% to 75% to full speed.
