Fitness Targets
A couple of simple targets I have been working on with some athletes:
100 rope skips in 30 seconds- a basic start to show competency.
Then try to do 200 skips in 1 minute.
If you are turning the rope at that frequency, it becomes a useful conditioning tool. This is a simple number that the athletes can go away and work towards.
One for myself is a 2 mile running trial. I did a 6:15/ 6:14 split last week at the first attempt. Not being a fantastic runner, and with an underlying chest infection still present from last year’s pneumonia, this was an ok baseline.
My goal is to improve this time not through any conditioning practice, but from working on my biomechanics and the underlying strength and elasticity of ankles, hips, hamstrings, and trunk. This is a challenge to aid my understanding of these mechanics better.
I will see where I am in 6 weeks time with that one.
Simple goals, but clear and easy to comprehend.
