Sprinting

I sprinted today. It felt good dude. I want read more into this.

The crazy thing is that it DOES seem like I got an upper body workout.

(I think we should just do this once a week)

LONG REST PERIOD

MAX EFFORT

Fast twitch muscles or type 2 muscle fibers

Rest period between 100% effort sprints ranging anywhere between 8-15 seconds or more should be at least 5 minutes. It’s not a matter of whether you feel rested, it’s a matter of giving the mitochondria time to regenerate ATP.

Less than 30 minute workout

Warming is critical

Lunges, Side steps, hops.

Warmup is at 80% max. 90% and then 100%.

Structure of the workout

15 seconds of running

TWO MINUTES OF REST

Four to Five sprints. You can get up to 8 Sprints.

(.5 + 2) * 8 = 20 minutes

Form

Arms do have to work.

Strike below your hips. Don’t “pull” with your hamstring.

You have to use your arms. You will go faster.

Alternative:

20 or 30 second sprint

4 minute rest between.
