Carmelita Jeter Weight Training Sessions

I love reality TV for elite athletes.

That’s why I try to post as much training videos from Olympic athletes and coaches. (i.e. Clyde Hart speed drills or David Oliver’s explosive weight training sessions)

Yesterday’s post asked the famous question, “Should you do your weights before or after the track session?”.

Obviously, both are good, as long as you know the reasons behind the benefits of both.

Carmelita Jeter Weight Training Sessions

Carmelita Jeter weight training videos were posted during the London Olympics.

Take a look below, and note how her sessions are in the morning! 7:30am! Even Coach John Smith is there, because he arrives at 7:20am. Carmelita Jeter, on the other hand, is usually the first person there at 7:05am because she is highly motivated for reasons outside of track. Jeter is supporting her younger sister (as her legal guardian), and knows Track is her profession, so she treats it as her job. She is all business.

Do you treat your weight and running sessions like your job? You would if your income depended on it!

Here is a sample of Carmelita Jeter’s weight training on YouTube (Part 1 is here and Part 2 is here).
