In the 1980's when Robert Walls was in charge of the Blues he introduced the notorious 100x100 sprints as part of pre-season training. I remember going down to training as a teenager and watching the players complete this usually on the day before they broke up for their Xmas break.
I vividly remember seeing players vommitting and David Rhys-Jones pulling out at about 70.
Last year 2012 I sent myself the goal of training 366 days straight for at least an hour every day without a day off. My training consisted mostly a 12-15km run, 3km swim, boxing and circuits. It was the most difficult I've ever done but I got through.
This year I have set myself the goal of completing the 100x100's on New Years eve at the ground next to Princes Park where I saw those players complete it many years ago.
Has anyone heard of the 100x100s and if so what are the rules in terms of times and breaks?
I vaguely remember each 100 had to be completed in 45 seconds. So if the players were averaging about 15 second 100's they would get a 30 second break and off they would go again.
I also recall them maybe getting a 2 minute break at 25, 50 and 75.
So far Im building the tempo and the other day completed 30x100s using the 45 second time frame. Its pretty tough and completely different training to what I did last year. My hammies are killing me.
Any information would be great!
Cheers
