For fit HS kid, who has been doing similar GS work for 2-3 months, i'd definitely follow this with: 2x5xPedestal; Back; Cannonball Cooldown (I don't know if we've shown that yet, but if not then it's comin' next week - it's great).  And yes, this definitely squirts some lactate into the system...but that's not necessarily a bad thing, depending on the athlete and the time of year.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nwinger - Obviously you have to follow the training your coach prescribes; no system of training works when athletes are adding bits and pieces from other sources.  That said, you can become a training room stud - you can ask the trainer what you can do to gain \"functional strength\" and \"functional flexibility\" and keep pushing those limits in the training room.  So many distance runners are weak, a-symetrical and inflexible; work on becoming a better athlete with the help of your athletic trainer.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThanks to everyone for your questions.","date_added":"Jun 9th 2012, 7:23pm","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":8465,"item_type":"video","pb_image":"members\/avatar\/2093.jpg","pb_title":"CoachJay","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=325","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/CoachJay.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"241"},"511804":{"pb_id":"4802","pb_type":"members","likes":"0","parent_id":"0","pid":"511804","comment_id":"511804","member_id":"4802","comment":"Wow, this got really tough after about a set and a half, but it's definitely a good routine to start doing.

I've also had to deal with some chronic injuries including left groin and right knee (PCL tear). <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMy rehab for these injuries originally included front lunges with a twist, like you show in the video, but it makes me pretty sore and the outdoor racing season is approaching pretty quickly. Is now the best time to add to my strength training, or should I wait to heed the Tuesday tips until my competitive season (and collegiate career) is over, especially since it isn't in my coach's assigned strength training?","date_added":"Jun 9th 2012, 7:23pm","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":8465,"item_type":"video","pb_image":"\/\/www.runnerspace.com\/forum\/uploads\/av-181.txt","pb_title":"jenawinger","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=181","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/jenawinger.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"489"},"511799":{"pb_id":"5010","pb_type":"members","likes":"0","parent_id":"0","pid":"511799","comment_id":"511799","member_id":"5010","comment":"Jay,<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nGreat video - I have been using the Vern Gambetta Leg Circuit since you first blogged about it over a year ago.  <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMy question is this: As you say yourself, this circuit is really difficult and seems to push a lot of lactate into the system.  Because of this, I have been using it about 1-2x a week after our harder days.  I know some of the other circuits seem to be more restorative in nature - making them well suited for a warm-down.  Is this Leg Circuit something you would immediately follow up with a more restorative circuit or injury prevention work?  <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThanks for your work.","date_added":"Jun 9th 2012, 7:23pm","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":8465,"item_type":"video","pb_image":"i\/no_avatar.png","pb_title":"Richey","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=5010","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/Richey.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"1119"}},"last_id":"511799","url":"comments.php?item_type=video&item_id=8465&item_url=profile.php?member_id=4077"}
