All forms of carbohydrates are made with sugar molecules. Carbohydrates were once broken into categories according to the complexity of their molecules, or simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates, with the complex variety being much preferred for athletes and others on healthy diets.

Hurdle Training: Phase I, Strength & Power

Phase I: Strength & Power

The goal for this phase is to build a foundation in strength & power before starting speed training. My weight training during this phase is 3-4 sets of shorter reps and heavier weights. This phase focuses on developing strength and power, which will be important when working on block work to the first hurdle. I am also focusing on developing ankle flexibility, which is important for a hurdler. The start requires explosive and controlled drive and power. Right now, my training phase on the track includes Sprint Day 1 of mobility training over 5-7 hurdles close together. No rest period. This is a continuous workout performed on the balls of my feet.
