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 . :devil:

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.
ahh San Diego: women, sun , beaches, pole vault, what else do you need.

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

A scripture that makes me think of all you girls and guys pole vaulting....

The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.

Yeah I guess it could be worse :P

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