Join Coach Dennis Barker (Augsburg College Track & Field and Cross Country) as he highlights the need for speed, strength, and endurance to be successful in the 800 meter race. The first set of drills are ideal for a dynamic warm-up and to reinforce proper sprinting technique. The next set of drills are designed to improve both endurance and strength during the pre-season conditioning period. The whole range of motion is considered to emphasize good sprinting posture and strength in the large sprinting muscles. The dynamic drills lead to the "Jump Circuit" later in the season. With a focus on strengthening the core, pedestal exercises are the next set of drills that Barker illustrates. Finally, hill sprinting and bounding round out this instructional DVD. Championship Productions.com offers this 25 minute DVD for sale and a trailer is also available on their site to see a small clip of this 2006 production.
