When I was back in my early 30s I was living in Oregon and did sprints in the snow with a friend. The ground quickly became muddy and the snow sloshy which made the sprinting harder and a lot of fun. I only busted my ass a few times in all out slide or uncontrollable, flying slip.

drive to HS for Parachute training…no not out of a plane ( I have done that…once) sprints with a chute
1/4 mile walk, knee ups, high skips ( good thing its dark out) , butt kicks etc
6x50 no chute, gradual speed build up to around 90% max with 100 yard walk off between reps
6x50 with chute…with 120 yard walk offs, slow was been re-defined…like a hungover tree sloth slow! its work…the good part is for the chute to fully inflate you got to be moving so it definitely keeps the cattle prod on my ass…
excellent news…it only rained for the 1st 10 minutes!! but it was 39 degrees with 10-12 mph wind…
Boy its been cold and wet around here lately. Freezing rain in the forecast I believe. I’ve gotten so slow the parachute would pass me.

The chute work must have been fun. Do those kind of sprints really make you faster?

GV they were fun. AT my age and ability, no, doing chute sprints probably isn’t going to help. I have read articles and studies that indicate .1 sec reduction of time for 100 meter when trained over a 10 week period…I have also read…articles that say they screw up your mechanics and cause injury…its like most training implements whether it be chains, belts, fat bars, or vests there is always two schools of thought. It was more work though, my quads were burnt the next day…faster no…sexy yes!! hahaha
Chute runs - sounds as much fun as sled pulling. Gotta do wonders for your conditioning.

they’re not nearly as bad as sled work Cav… adds about 30lb of resistance. definitely helps the heart and lungs
spread 8 yards of mulch Sat after sprints and jumps and gorilla walk…then went out to dinner with some friends, stayed too long, had too much fun, Sunday was a slow morning. Sunday afternoon my daughters lacrosse team won their conference tourney so they play in the NCAA tourney Friday…luckily the game is at Boston College, about an hour away. I can make it and not spend 1000 doing it!! thank you Lord!!
