I actually kinda enjoy doing some conditioning drills for a workout because as hard as it is, you know it will be over soon. A lot of the drills we did today were rather fun such as the 5, 10, 5's and the box drills. These got us moving for only a few seconds and then we rested again. It was interesting to see how a fairly quick interval could keep our heartrate up even during our rest period. Such as when we did the 4 tempo runs; we would build our heartrate up from somewhere between 180-195 in a time of about 20 seconds and then we would have about 40 seconds off, still keeping our heartrate elevated. I think that these types of drills are critical to many sports in which you would do much of the start, stop; forward, side, reverse elements; and also using acceleration and deceleration movements.
