Hi Seth,

Thanks for answering my question. I am still not clear on number 2. This is how all of the hill sprints workouts read:

“1 set 8 x 12” sprints OR UNTILL…..YOU CAN’T REACH THE LINE….SEE BELOW

Make a line in the dirt at the top of the 2nd or third sprint. When you can not reach that line stop. You’re done with the workout. You have accomplished the goal of fatiguing the FT fibers.

Easy 2 min walk down recovery between each sprint. Take 5 min easy stretching between sets.”

I read that as 1 set of (8) 12 second sprints with 2 min rest/recovery between each sprint. I never see a progression to 2 sets of sprints where the 5 min rest would be used. I think this workout is cut and pasted through all of the weeks during this block. I did my second week of this workout and was able to hit all 8 sprints with 2 min rests.

Maybe I am just confused with how the work out is written? I have been very disciplined with the plan and just want to make sure I am doing everything right.

Thanks,

Ryan
