Another Speed workout

Here is another speed workout which I use for my own training. I have written this in my speed workout book which is available on my football blog at (http://outlaws-football.blogspot.com).

Excerpt begins:
The Ladders

This is a very tough sprint type workout, which gets longer with each sprint.
You do 10 x 2, 20 x 2, 40 x 2, 80 x 2 and finally 100 x 2 without stopping. The total distance of the sprint is going to be 500 yards non-stop.

During this exercise, you will focus on your running technique, making sure to run the distances as if you were running in a race. The speed at which you run these distances will be ¾ speed during all of them. This means that you will are not running them as fast as you can as you have to cover 500 yards.

Rest 2 minutes between each one, performing three of these runs. They will help you build the endurance necessary to get through the games when they come up.

Be sure to warm up and stretch before performing any speed workouts.
