| Greetings, I am sending this newsletter a few days early as I'll be traveling and offline for a few days. In this issue:
If you liked my July article on Why Sprinters should NOT do Double-Leg Squats, then you may be interested in hearing Mike Boyle's interview on the "Death of Squatting". His new resource, Functional Strength Coach 3.0 - A Joint by Joint Approach to Training, is simply telling you this: Stop Doing Conventional Squats! Take a few minutes and watch this video where Boyle explains exactly how he came to this conclusion: >> http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1067062 BTW, his promotion for the special 2 DVD bonuses will end at midnight, Friday October 30th. 400 meter Hurdles Training Guides Last month, I gave links to various 400 meter training guides. If you missed it, send me an email and I'll get them out to you. This month, as promised, are the 400 meter Hurdles training guides:
The "Best Of"... As always, here are the best articles for October 2009. Enjoy. Jimson Lee http://speedendurance.com/ More Natural Painkillers - MSM and Celadrin 2009-10-01 16:14:00-04 I am currently based about 40 minutes north of Rome in a town called Nepi. Nepi is famous for their natural bubbly spring water (Acqua di Nepi) where locals can bring their empty bottles and fill them up for free between the hours of 2-6pm. The bubbly water tastes like Perrier but the price is right.

I covered Harry Jerome and Otis Davis in previous articles. From his book Bill Bowerman's High-Performance Training for Track and Field (Third Edition) he compares the training patterns of Stan Wright, Jim Bush, and John [...] read more... How Much Sleep Do We Need? Use REM Cycles 2009-10-13 09:00:00-04 Once again, with standard time approaching and daylight savings time ending, you actually gain an extra hour of sleep and that alone can screw up your sleeping patterns. At least temporarily. But what about oversleeping? How many people, especially teenagers, sleep over 10 hours a day? WebMD carried an article on Physical Side Effects of Oversleeping. So the [...] read more... Differences in Maximal Speed Running between Baseball Players and Sprinters 2009-10-15 04:52:00-04 With the World Series in full swing (no pun intended), I couldn't help but notice how baseball players run "slightly different" than Track and Field sprinters. I've often argued that in a 40 yard dash test, technical changes are required just to cover the distance in 36.8 meters. The starting position is a good example. You [...] read more... WANTED: Sprinters to Test Sprint Spikes 2009-10-19 16:36:46-04 Saucony is looking for wear testers who compete in sprints events (400m or less) and would be willing to wear test their new sprint spike. Testers will be asked to test the spike over a period of 6 weeks, and might be asked to do several rounds of testing. Testers who are selected and complete [...] read more... Massage, Recovery, and Massage Sticks 2009-10-21 14:56:39-04 If you can't afford a daily massage, then I recommend at least a weekly massage as a bare minimum. A good therapist will cost anywhere above $70 USD per hour. I find 1 hour insufficient for the lower body, so my sessions are usually 75 or 90 minutes long. $70 bucks may be pretty steep for [...] read more... Flying 30 for Sprinters: Achieving Max Velocity and Maintaining it Over the Critical Area of Race 2009-10-22 16:00:00-04 The post was written by Ed Barber, currently the Sprints / Pole Vault / Multis coach at Hartnell College in Salinas, CA. A Level III certified USATF Coach, Coach Barber took Calvin Harrison (44.78) to the Olympic Trials in Atlanta 1996. Calvin went on to earn a gold medal in the 4×400m Relay. Flying 30 for [...] read more... Good Luck and Bad Luck Superstitions - the Olympic 1952 110mH 2009-10-28 04:06:00-04 Do you have any Track and Field Superstitions? Hallowe'en is around the corner! I used to always wear black and yellow sweat pants and sweatshirts. Why? Because they are the colours of a Tiger. The last time I checked, tigers were fast animals. (I stole the idea from a Rocky movie) I also wore a T-shirt of [...] read more... | ||||||||||||||
