What are the types of workouts that everyone is doing for the pre-season? Lifting ( how many days a week, times of lifting, types of lifting) and is everyone running, im assuming so... what type of running and stuff like that... im just curious..

hopefully everyone is working hard....

Working out 10 times a week, twice a day mon-fri.

Weights (basic lifts, Power Cleans, Bench, Squat) on Mon, Tues, and Fri mourning.

Running "sprinting" workouts Tues, Thurs. mournings.

Plyometrics and a little running Tues,and Thurs afternoons, and...

...Short run vaulting at least once a week. from equal too or less than 10 steps.

I have been on this for about 2 months and still going until december, might change it up a bit then by adding more vaulting. Im getting awesome results so far .

For me I have been doing a lot of speed work, over the last two years I had bulked up to much and came down the runway slow. So now I am in a month session which is conditioning my legs and body to not only run fast but to recover fast as well. These workouts also are working on some stamina.
As of the gym right now it is lifting only a couple of times a week, kind of up keep on the muscles.

Well , bro came down from MSU and showed me some workouts and it goes like this

Mon- sprints, lift light weight, push-ups and sit-ups
Tue- lift heavy weights
Wed- heavy warm-up and then vault
Thursday- sprints and hard warm-up
Fri- weights, light sprints
Sat- off
Sun- practice for pv for 2 1/2 hours

6 sets of 12 oz arm curls each night

Sounds like a pretty good workout to me! Do you do a double workout on weekends? hahaha

come on Becca, last summer I was riding 37 mi. to practice on thur and 37mi back.

2.5 is much better for a pole vaulter though.

MWF I'm practicing at Captain Practices here...TR I'm just sitting around with my gf...haha

Yeah I guess it could be worse

It's all worth it at the end of the day when I zoom by all the gridlocked traffic. I get home faster now.

I only work out 2 days a week, but I am going to start to do more.

Box jumps on varying plyo boxes up to 48"
