I only had about 30 min to get something done here at my house before our full day of youth soccer mayhem began at 8:00 am, and I also didn't want to do any sprinting because I really hammered a hill hard on Thursday. So I dragged a couple kettlebells out to the alley and did the 120 sec slow jog in the street. FI is a great drill. It gives the knees and ankles a bit of a break (compared to sprinting HICs), but still delivers a great workout. I got into a nice rhythm with the swings and snatches, and I got much more "zoned out" (in a good way) than I usually do for HIC. Many people seem to like FI primarily because it works really well on a treadmill when the whether is bad. I now think this drill has a lot more going for it beyond making a concession to Mother Nature.
Good idea. I can see this working well at a track....couple lazy laps followed by swings or snatches.
