Be warned that your decision to take supplements can be risky. The NCAA has strict policies regarding circumstances in which athletes test positive for banned substances. Do your homework and do not risk your eligibility. Read more HERE


15x100m sprints
do one rep every minute on the minute. Rest the remaining time of the minute. For example, if it takes you 20s to run 100m, you have 40s to rest.
