Victory Cross Country Podcast

So, here is my podcast. Sorry it was a little later than I first anticipated. I had a fabulous idea I wanted to try out and so I bit off a little more than I could handle in the time period. My podcast is a little longer than the 15 minutes and for one major reason - I wanted to create an instructional podcast that could be used by my cross-country runners.

Many times there are some strategies and tips that I give them as we run that allows them to make improvements in their form, energy, strategy, etc. However, most of the time the kids are running at different paces and developing at different levels. So, as I was looking at different fitness podcasts and thought, I would sure like to be able to have something like this for my students that would give them the mobility to have instruction where ever they are. Pop in the ipod and do the training.

If you look at my podcast webpage you will notice there are some links that will allow you to see where you can get the free workout CDs provided by the Big Loser and Subway which is where I received the music for the podcast. The podcast is 1 hour long (mainly to be a workout for the students). I don't want you to have to listen to the entire hour to analyze and grade it, so I will give a brief synopsis below:

0:00 - 0:30 Intro music
0:30 - 1:00 Intro to podcast:
1:00 - 6:00 Finish warm-up jog music
6:00 - 8:00 Warm-up stretches / tips on warm ups

31:55 - 41:50 Workout Music
41:50 - 42:10 Instruction on proper diet
42:10 - 51:10 Workout Music
51:10 - 51:30 Cool Down Instructions
51:30 - 57:20 Cool Down Jogging Music (repeat of intro jogging music and theme of podcast)
57:20 - 60:00 Cool Down Stretching music and thanking for joining podcast

The idea behind the podcast is to develop a training that students could perform over the summer and/or during the school year and receive instruction that pertains to their personal needs. For example, I could create podcasts for Farlek runs, Tempo runs, Intervals, etc. Students need at times explanations on how to perform their exercises, and this would be personalized training to fit their needs. They could just download the podcast to their ipod and they would be ready for the next exercise.
