I'm a guy, and every time I need a little inspiration, I come back to this video. I wished I had Kendra's running form, it just seems so effortless. Wish I was as fast as her too!!! |

Perfect Sam. To put it simply, when your body is in good speed shape, it's a whole lot easier to maintain efficiency at race pace. Virtually every good coach in the country adds these type of repeats to their x-c workouts. Besides, the last 200 meters of a x-c race can a make or break a team and good speed shape is essential to this part of the race. |

I didn't mean to call her 'Bab' but the last part of her name got censored by this comment section! |

It could just all be a masterful deception to throw off other teams. Ya, lets show em running a bunch of repeats and Bab wolfing down cookies!Maybe the other teams will do the same... Of course that theory all comes crashing down since they are just destroying everyone regardless, and don't need any tricks.. |

yea thats what i forgot to say i dont agree with 30sec 200's during xc but he does have enough championships to show he knows a little bit lol. |

I don't know about the 200s either, but Metcalf seems to know what he is doing, and if it's 200s, then run 200s. Heck, if he said to run backwards in traffic I'd do it. The alternative is watching nationals on tv from Boulder :) |

yes i have but they arent going to run multiple 200's in 30 sec. the only thing anywhere close to that is the beginning. doing 200's isnt the smartest thing we had 2 kids that would run 200's and 300's after practice during xc and they ended up not finishing the season. if dont need that kinda of speed dont train for it. puts a lot of stress on the body. train for what u need. |
