Special K sprint workout
Update: changes made for the SCU women's team, with more explanations.
Derived from an article I read about the US National Women's Soccer team, the Special K workout builds sprinting stamina. It was modified by Kris for Special K, which is no longer a team. The season this was written for was a shortened season, with coed playing in July and open/women playing in fall. As of this moment, it was the last year a player could play in more than one division in a season.
For reference, a stinker is:
Sprint 50 yards out and back 3 times in a row for a total of 300 yards. If you are feeling really ambitious, do this in under 1 minute. Rest one and a half minutes afterwards.A stinkette is:
Sprint 25 yards out and back 6 times in a row for a total of 300 yards. If you are feeling really ambitious, do this in under 1 minute 5 seconds. Rest one and a half minutes afterwards.And a suicide is:
Run 5 yards out and back then increase to running 10, 15, 20, and 25 yards out and back. Rest 25 seconds afterwards.That said, the workout is:

They are some amazing athletes, those women.
