Drills and Mobility Exercises: Kosmin Test

http://www.yourrunning.com/blog-spring_in_the_step

Drills -- a combination of neuromuscular activations and re-wirings plus very specific strengthening and mobility exercises -- are designed to help develop the co-ordination and strength necessary to run fast with ease. It's a once-a-week session that really helps my running, so I try never to miss it, even though it involves getting up in the middle of the night to be ready to be not just awake, but capable of independent movement, at 7.30am.

Kosmic Kosmin sets me up for STEEP phase

Posted by simon on 3/20/2007 on simon's blog

We were promised this would be "fun".

Well, it was. Which just goes to show that I am as cracked as the rest of you, given that the four one-minute repeats with ever-decreasing rest periods left me literally on my knees gasping for oxygen like a stranded fish. (Not that fish have knees, of course. Or do repeats on a running track, for that matter.)

This time I did not make the mistake of trying to keep up with Kyle. I can't say it made things noticeably easier. I set my watch to bleep at me every 20 seconds. So I'd "sprint" off, hear a bleep, thank Something Great that I was a third of the way through, try to recover a little.. just in time for the next bleep signalling the final 20 seconds, in response to which I had determined to produce a blistering finishing burst. Yes, well.
