Getting ready for track season....................?

Yaaaayyy!!! a fellow hurdler! I would say for eating, make sure you refuel with lots of protein and carbs within an hour of your workout. My favorite post workout snack is half a can of tuna on two slices of bread and half a peanut er and date sandwich with 12oz or so of gatorade or something similar. (Oh don't leave the other half of the tuna in the can, for more than a day. You'll get some kind of lead poisoning or something.) If you really are dedicated try drinking 3 8oz gles of water with 2-5 tsps of apple-cider viniger in each gl each day. Also for weight lifting, hurdlers should do more reps with less weight, because you need more flexibility. I would say 8-12 reps is good. And stretch. A LOT. Good luck! I'm trying for a state title this year so i feel ya! What's your states qualifying time? Oh! also, (which you probably know already) get your start really good. A good start vs a poor one could mean a half a second or more. I changed my blocks halfway through the season last year and shaved of 6 tenths in one meet. (i'm jealous, we don't have indoor track in our state.)
