Sounds hilarious to me. Humans can sprint for around 20-25 seconds at 100% effort, so if you can't do a 4 minute mile (can any of these guys?) you're pushing an interval pace. I can see why guys would go off the treadmill, especially if they're tired or under the weather. The internet tells me that 15 mph converts to 6.7 meters/second, so I can see why you'd want padding. We need to get video of that :p

I am willing to bet someone else's beach house that none of them can run a 4 minute mile. :D

I've been a bit MIA but can someone help be differ between the exhibition games and the regular non conference games? They seem to be mixed in this year if I'm reading the schedule right...

As I understand it, and I could be wrong, there are no exhibition games this year

My initial reaction was to remark how interesting that is, but then again, they are teaching the System from scratch, and maybe need the extra time to practice. Maybe Underwood doesn't do exhibitions.

On the 4 minute mile, yes it is moving; however here is a little perspective from a former distance runner. If they are on the treadmill for 45 seconds it is indeed running for 300 meters. That is 3/4 of a lap. When I was in high school and college we had to run a lap in 60 seconds, same pace; however, we also had to do that 12-20 times at that pace with about a 5 minute rest. I can assure you it is not a sprint but still moving. Granted the players are not distance runners, but to get into the shape BU wants them in this should be achievable for 45 seconds. They are sprinting the rest of the time while on the floor. The best thing is don't dog it in practice and stay off the treadmill.

I think everyone is way overestimating the speed and demand of 300m in 45 seconds - as well as aerobic vs anaerobic systems - a good, not great, 9th grade track time is 55 sec 400 m. A typical workout might be 6 x 300m @ 45 seconds with 4 minute rest. At HS = increase intensity considerably esp for great/elite speed. A very good (not elite) HS miler will do 10x400 @ 63-67 seconds with 60 seconds rest maybe with some 200s replacing the 400s; or 6x800 @2:15-20 BBall will be more along the lines of a 100m/200m sprinter workouts and systems. Anearobic system can be tapped for about 60-70 seconds before crashing. I would hope they could all run that fast for 300m-400m (85-90% effort). Game has different demands because you don't have 'momentum' from a stride, its a lot faster speed, and you spend a lot of energy accelerating, decelerating and changing direction. A fast break is about 24-27m. We always see weightlifting numbers but I don't ever recall seeing times from interval workouts or even what they do for anaerobic/aerobic development
