AGILITY

Simply put agility is the ability to quickly change directions. Many athletes are defined by their agility. Agility incorporates many athletic and physical abilities such as change of direction, acceleration and deceleration or stopping, balance and coordination as well as decision-making. Improved agility capabilities will enhance general physical performance.

 

Cone drills, such as the "W" drill, are designed to improve agility.

SPEED & STAMINA WORKOUT

Five minutes of walking, mobility exercises and stretching start off the day's training.

Prior to speed development training, a sprint warm-up was conducted. This specific warm-up included bounding, jogging, jogging butt kicks, skipping and striding. Aimed at improving acceleration, 10 sets of sprinter’s starts were included in the day’s speed work. A 100m multi-stroke swim followed the sprint training.

The day’s flexibility period focused on hamstring and lower-back stretching.

June 26th, 1991

(From THE BOOT, Parris Island, S.C.) After a 7-year layoff from racing I decided to see if I had anything left in the tank...and ended up having my best year ever...by far! This was one of the earlier races and I wasn't happy being the day's first loser (although I did win my age group). I chalked it up to being rusty and decided it wasn't going to happen again (although a 20:09 4-mile wasn't shabby). By the end of the year I had won my age group in every race and was the overall winner in 18 of 21 races. As it turned out, this would be the last year I could of competed as I spent the majority of the next 9 years either deployed or stationed at-sea or overseas.
