Hey, My football coach told us that too...
and it does seem to work, aren't those windsprints a b!tch!? Those were my least favorite but probably the most benificial, i just did a few a few nights ago(first time i ran in a long time)...and i started to feel feint, wish i knew that flexing the leg thing, i'll keep it in mind, thanx...but after i did the wind sprints, the next day(woke up sore) i was jogging, and i had more endurance already, the most i had in years, im gonna force myself to continue with some more of those, cuz when i ran football, i had more endurance than the people in my gym class(cept my fellow teammates)...u should try to have a running drill similiar to your football ones, it'll be a little easier without pads but hey, you'll still benefit...
1 question though, it was a long time ago when i played(like 4 years) and i dont remember how it was when i first started out...like when i first joined the team, do you happen to remember how to start out before giving yourself those exhausting running drills? It can't be healthy to just jump into it, or can it?
(Any advice is welcome)
