Tara DiLuca Training for NYC Gotham Cup 60 Meter Hurdles

Submitted by Bruce on January 15, 2010 – 7:12 amNo Comment

Tara-Hurdles-Competition

I am gearing up for the finals of the Women’s Colgate Games to be held at Madison Square Garden on January 30, 2010. Currently, I am in second place in the 55 meter hurdles after 3 weeks of competition. My workouts have become shorter, more powerful track work, including block starts and quick hurdle and sprint drills.

I have shared my videos of my practice sessions on YouTube. My username is Bellafit.

I am continuing to train under the guidance of Coach Johnson. My weight room workouts have become shorter and quicker as well as the peak of my season approaches. A sample of the weight training is as follows:

Sunday Workout

Cleans

One leg hamstring curls on swiss ball

Front squats

Leg Day

Step-ups

Lunges alternate leg w/dumbells

Calf raises

Upper Body

Push Press

Dips
Chin-Ups
Flat Bench Press (barbell)
Bent over rows (barbell)

My nutrition plan continues to include a serving of Protein Extreme Energy in the morning before breakfast, two Maxodin at breakfast, a serving of GSH Ignite about 1 hour before my workouts, and a serving of Extreme after a hard workout. I have been happy with my recovery from my strenuous weight and track workouts and will continue with this supplement regimen. My next competition is the NYC Gotham Cup on 1/15/2010 where I hope to run a personal best in the 60 meter hurdles. Stay tuned!
