Yesterday (tuesday) had the guys turn the legs over a bit. This will probably be the most intense neuromuscular stuff we do all season. Yes the guys are probably undertrained, but I know where 100% every day will get us. And for the exercise physiology people out there, yes this workout most definitely stressed systems other than just the nervous and muscular-skeletal ones. First, at where these guys are developmentally (from a physical strength perspective) and aerobically (meaning how strong they are as runners) it's hard to isolate just one system. And two, as we approach the end of the season it's okay to mix and match a little. The overall purpose was to work their muscle fibers and work on form, turnover, and staying relaxed even when running fast. There was a secondary benefit as they got some VO2 stimulus and lactate tolerance toward the end of the workout.
