Training Log Archive: Nat and the Hat

In my biophysical human movements lab today we were studying ATP and energy throughout the body, so we looked at endurance, speed, and power. We had to get into a groups and do two different skills that demonstrated these things. The running part was running 15 meters, 15 times, in three different ways. The first person (me) had to sprint the whole thing continuously back and forth - kind of like a shuttle run(15m x 15 times), the second person had to run it at a constant pace, and the last person had to sprint them but got 15sec rest between each 15m interval. My time was pretty good (I even beat some of the track dudes, haha! ;) ) but my legs were really wobbly after, from all of the turning at each end of the 15m course. The second activity was vertical jumps from a squat position. One person had to do 24 continuously (me), another person had to do 24 with 5sec rest in between each, the third person had to do 24 with 15sec rest in between each, and the last person had to do 24 with 30sec rest in between each. Overall, it was a super fun lab, but since I did the two hardest ones, my legs really felt it afterwards! My TA was really impressed though! (bonus points)!! :D

Easy long run along the river/parkway; to island park and back. On the way back, the wind was really really strong and I was pretty much running diagonally and on a tilt because of it... good resistance training. :)

Coaching the kids at the dome from 9:00 - 10:30. Today I did skater stops, hoop throw, and relay with them. They weren't very good at the relay part so I had to run a lot and demo a bunch of the passes to them.

Saw the Martian tonight with mum.... IT WAS AMAZING!!! I strongly recommend seeing it!! :D
