The third session has been the hardest on the kids so far. They had to do run #2 and this is one of the hardest runs. There are two 30 second runs, four 20 second runs, four 15 second runs, and four 10 second runs. Each of these runs have different speeds and elevations as well. The 15's and 10's are the hardest for them because the speed is faster and elevation is higher, not to mention these are towards the end of the run when the athletes are tired.
The kids almost didn't make it through this run. I had one kid almost faint and puke on me. A lot of these kids looked like they were in shape and could handle this run but obviously I was wrong. I ran 4 kids in one group and then ran the other 3 kids when they were finished with their weights. One kid had to do run #1 since he missed one the week before.
The fourth session was a plyometric. The kids were pretty happy to find out they were doing a plyo instead of running again. I don't think they like to run at all.
It was straight forward and to the point. The kids whipped through the plyo and then did their weights. There are only 3 machines the kids can use, which leaves some kids standing around. Instead of standing around, they would work on different core drills. They would lean back, feet in the air, and pass a medicine ball back and forth with another teammate. These tend to get to after a while.
The kids have a tournament this Friday, so they won't be working out with us. But they will be back on Monday for another hard run.
