Well, the Radford University Baseball team had an amazing season. Forty-five wins to only 16 losses, first place in the Big South Conference, they won the Big South Tournament and they even got their first NCAA Regional win versus Lipscomb University (who?). Unfortunately, the fairy tell ended right there when the Highlanders ran into the Commodores of Vanderbilt. Twenty-one runs and six errors later, the season came crashing down. Still, I am a very proud RU alum today! They have put southwest Virginia on the baseball map and served up the warning: They'll be back next year!!
Today's quote is from Babe Ruth:
"Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world."
Workout: Anaerobic-Alactic Training
Heavy Rope Whips, 20 seconds of maximal effort, 40 seconds of rest. 20 sets total.
Have a Great Day!!
Today the workout is going to be short but sweet.... and by sweet I mean a hard work phase for ten seconds followed by 50 seconds of rest. The rest period is pretty damn long for the amount of work done, so that ten seconds of work has to be really, REALLY hard. This will focus on the Anaerobic-Alactic energy pathway with the idea of increasing the density of mitochondria in your fast twitch muscle fibers. These are the muscle fibers that are great at creating short bursts of speed or power but fatigue very quickly.... hence the rest between sets.
Today's quote is from Muhammad Ali:
"I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark."
