Sprints and Upper Body Training

Yesterday was an absolutely amazing day. I wish it could have lasted longer.

Along with having a great day, I also got in a great sprinting session and upper body workout.

AM Conditioning Session:
Hill Sprints - 6 sprints with 90 seconds rest

PM Strength Training Session:
1a) Bench Press - 125x5, 140x1, 130x5, 145x1, 115x10
1b) Bent Over Barbell Row - 105x5, 125x1, 110x5, 135x1, 100x10

2a) Close Grip Pullup - with 10 lbs added x7/6, bodyweight x 8
2b) 1 Arm DB Overhead Press - 35x2x6, 30x11

3a) Ab Wheel Rollout - 10, with band x 2x6
3b) Standing Calf Raise w/ weight belt - 45x12, 65x8

If you haven't performed hill sprints in your training, I highly recommend them. Something else I recommend - my Top Three.

Approximately how long is the hill you are sprinting?

I would guess about 50-60 yards.
