The Insane effects Sprinting has on the Body!

[@foldish187]

1 tip, if you haven't got sand to run on, use long-ish grass to train on, making sure to lift your foot over the blades. It helps with driving your knees up and forward, improving your cadence and helps with ankle strength and stability as you're bringing your foot down on an uneven surface.

[@dingomatic]

Barefooted walking and sprinting has done wonders for my leg strength and posture. Even if there's no sand or grass pathway, I go for barefoot shoe soles to get the best footbed mobility on hard surfaces

[@newt2120]

So you recommend barefoot sprints? Is it safer to the shoes alternative?

I was a state qualifying sprinter in high school and ran a lot in the military. The best sprint workout i have ever experienced came from basketball conditioning. What we did was 1-mile (1600m) total worth of sprints on an outdoor track... (I recommend starting with at least half that and with a slightly lower intensity for a week... or 3) but it was typically broken up into (16) 100m dashes with limited rest time. (8) 200m dashes, or (4) 400m dashes. we did the 200m dashes most often. we would start at the 200m start line and have a goal time to hit (mine was 32 seconds even though I was capable of running it in 23 seconds, because we have to do a lot of them with a lower recovery time)...but we would sprint to the finish line then walk till we were even with the field goal post (which is about 50m), then lightly jog the rest of the way to the start line (150m)...the coach would be counting down and we would have to be ready to sprint as soon as we got there. it was great for conditioning and speed. BUT!! in the military we did something similar that's much easier to keep track of and you don't need a track. they're called 30, 60's or 60, 120's. which is exactly what you would think. sprint for 30 seconds, walk for 60. or sprint for 60 seconds, walk for 2 minutes. this would typically last for what felt like an hour but was probably 15-25 minutes....enjoy.

This video is a good reminder for me to keep it up, and all the physiological adaptations to sprinting are a great bonus! While sprinting again its reminded me of the good old days when I was a kid and a teen--naturally sprinting just for the joy of it. As we age it is so easy to forget the basics. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I sprinted between ages 40 and 50! At 52, I look forward to making this a staple of my workout routine.

Sprint Interval Training 1. 5-10 min jog (or other warm up) 2. Light stretching, mobility work 3. 4-5, 20 sec max speed sprint w 4 minute rest in between each 4. Cool down stretching As you get more use to training, vary terrain and/or distances i.e hill / sand sprints Instructions * Push hard into the ground like cartoon character * Run tall and bring knees high up off the ground (somewhere at or near parallel off the ground.) * Stay relaxed. (Run at 90% effort.) Benefits * Increases muscle mass * increases in testosterone levels and growth hormone (increases up to 2000% seen in growth hormone production) * Promotes longevity, injury healing, and fat loss while helping to maintain muscle mass in the process * Increased explosiveness and high intensity endurance which translates very well to most forms of athletics & life threading situations * Increases strength and efficiency of the spinal engine (good for power generation like punching or throwing)

This is quite accurate. As a distance runner, my recovery and speed have greatly improved by doing calisthenics for upper body and core three times a week. Also I do two interval running sessions per week and only one long run which is still pretty short. The fast recovery and overall feeling great I attribute to the hormonal effects of calisthenics.

[@ithinkthereforeitalk935]

What's your running volume and can you describe your calisthenics routine (exercises, sets, reps)? I am a runner myself and play around with calisthenics once in a while but find it hard to do both on a regualr basis.

[@bigbattenberg]

@@ithinkthereforeitalk935 My basic calisthenics routine is pull-ups/ chin-ups - dips - push-ups usually one in 'down an up' fashion, meaning I start the circuit at 10 reps and then go down to 9,7...1 and then back up again where I usually get to 8. Rest starts at around 45 seconds and also goes down wich decreasing reps. This give me the volume in a relatively short time. After this, I do lots of stuff like handstands, rows, ropw climbing, anything really. Also for the legs I do horse stance, animal walks, jumps etc., just playin around. Running on the track is usually something like 10*400 m, pyramids or a bit longer work. One longish run per week of about 10k barefoot. Track runs usually is on 'normal' footwear for warmup, then I switch to Merrell Vapor Glove. Stats: 178 cm/ 64 kgs/ age 50/ 19:48 5k (last summer).

Before I went to basic for the Army, a good friend of mine that I used to work with that was prior service helped me prepare for basic. One of the things he did, was start out by just doing 2 mile runs at a decent pace, 2-3 times a week and gradually increasing my speed. Then one day, we did intervals and it made the 2 miles seem harder, but made it go by much quicker and felt like an overall better workout. Now I will just incorporate it into my runs occasionally, or when I'm doing longer than 2 miles, I'll just sprint as far as I can a few times.

I absolutely hated sprinting until i discovered strides. I love long runs on the trails, but adding in 4-6 bursts of about 30-45 seconds made me a faster runner, was way more fun than a speed workout, improved my form, and didn't leave me feeling exhausted or sore!😅

[@kane4049]

I've started running/jogging and gym about 2 weeks ago, here is my noticeable changes in this short timeframe. -Aerobic capacity, I am not out of breath now when I run I can breathe comfortably and even stop if I wanted and won't gas out instantly like before. -Heartrate/pulse, before after a couple of minutes of running the back of my head would be pounding hard and I would be breathing fast and heavy I would have to stop completely to catch it again, now this hasn't been happening, my limiting factor is that my calf gets sore so I stop only for that. -Heartrate again, but on the point that when I finish my jog/run I am nearly recovered to my normal breathing rate, I did 40minutes on the treadmill at 10km/h on and off, and at the end despite being completely covered in sweat over my whole body I was breathing as if I was mildy strained. the human body is amazing and the adaptations are very fast and noticeable to lifestyle changes

[@ClassicJukeboxBand]

Exactly right. All running animals get fit the quickest and lose fat the quickest when they do intense exercises like sprinting and intense, rapid weightlifting. It's because we evolved a "fight or flight" mechanism. If you are being chased by a predator, another human, or in a life-threatening situation, sprinting or fighting off the aggressor can save your life. What really matters when it comes to getting fit quickly is not how much fat you burn during the exercise, but how much your body responds to the stress placed upon it during the exercise and you get fitter quicker during your rest and sleep. Most people don't understand this because of the poor advice given by Dr. Ken Cooper back in the 1960's who convinced us all it was better to exercise at less intense levels so you could burn more fat during the exercise. This is what the cardio people don't understand...

2:40 watch out people, as this is a bit confusing: - "push hard like a cartoon character" (good image 🙂) is for the start... but one should not focus on "knee high" as it'll make you raise your trunk too early and take too big of a stride. - "knee high" and "relaxed" is for top speed... and instead "pushing hard" one should rather think of "whipping the floor" (with ankle dorsiflexed). Also 3:35 : before the 4-5 max speed sprints, do 2-3 warmup sprints with increasing intensity/speed (like 50/75/90%), with heavy focus on technique. The brain also needs to be warmed up for such a high speed activity. Very good video nonetheless as it's spreading the love for sprinting. Also it's the first time I hear about the spinal engine, so thank you for making me curious🙂

You aced it, been sprint interval training for 25years. Top tip, no fatty food 1 hour before training no sugary food or drink 1 hour after. Both will mess with Growth Hormone/testosterone output you get from sprint training.

And obviously no cold showers afterwards.

Dr Sean Omara, a former distance runner now sprints. He had a grant from the National Science Foundation to look at visceral fat. He reviewed 6,000 MRI’s and concluded sprinting reduces visceral fat like no other exercise. I used to be a sprinter in junior high, high school and college. Really short sprints like you would do stealing a base. I am 73 and have been sprinting for 6 months. It really has paid off. And it takes so little time. Goes very well with a carnivore diet.

[@moimoi4725]

As a retired professional track athlete (100m, 200 OLY & WC) I must push back on the 4-5 min rest & the "max" speed work out. That is insane and counterproductive. You should go for distance of 20m to 80m at the most. Especially if you are doing this just to shape up. Interval training is best for that with a walk back as rest. Intensity should be no more than 90% and most people won't be able to do that immediately and likely they would get injured. There is a need for a progression when it comes to speed development. As a rule of thumb, you should not "sprint" more than 2-3 days per week and should not go above 800m total running.

One nitpick is that if you’re training to achieve maximum ground speed, you should stay low for as long as possible at the beginning of the sprint, and run tall once you’ve achieved top speed.

Back when I used to have a jog program around my neighborhood, there was always one point near the end, at the bottom of a long, long downwards street, like slightly more than a 45 degree incline. I would jog down to the bottom of the hill, take a small break to stretch a bit, and then try to sprint up the hill as fast as I could go. Always my favorite part of the run.

When talking about fat ok loss whilst comparing it to endurance running, I think it's important to highlight how long someone can sprint for. Another thing to consider is how high risk sprinting is for causing injuries.

@Joeshmoe120 are you saying that cycling, swimming, rowing, elyptical cause more injuries than sprinting.. just want to know!

@Joeshmoe120 I see thank you, how about the shoulder injuries that happen if you go sprinting/intense while swimming.. shoulder injuries scare me while exerting during swimming maybe my technique is wrong, sprinting while running seems safer to me but I don't know about rowing, elyptical.

[@solarjudgement4575]

Yeah, that isn't true. You are more at risk of injury doing long distance. Healthy diet and strength training (including calf raises and tib curls) will take away those risk of running all together.

[@solarjudgement4575]

​@sidmeerut417 if worried about Injury, just look to strength training. Doing regular strength training, weighted mobility training, and prefab strength training will reduce chance of injury almost 100%. Along with proper nutrition, proper and consistent sleep and rest between sessions, and doing warmups will further decrease chance of injury so you can go 90-100% sprints, swimming, etc

I do think realistically a big part of this is the emphasis that modern-day sprinters put on weight training combined with performance-enhancing drugs.

[@peabodyscientific2082]

I highly recommend shuttle sprints (also known as suicide sprints) as perhaps the best sprint interval training. The rapid deceleration and acceleration of changing directions as you run not only creates additional work for your muscles and balance, but it's a critical ability to have in most sports. I started doing them again mainly because they are so quick and easy. You don't need as much length as a track, a basketball court is all you need. Each run takes less than 60 seconds, and you only need 4-5 runs max to feel totally destroyed. There's a reason your high school basketball coach had you running these all the time. 😄

[@TheArizonaRanger.]

Another positive mention is why it promotes muscle growth. Most sprints are around 20-35 seconds, which tends to be the goldilocks zone of hypertrophy training. Ideally, you do a hill sprints because it adds resistance as described in the video, but it also reduces the impact and range of motion to prevent injury.

This is fantastic. Im working on getting my body ready to compete in boxing. Due to current situations im unable to join the gym rn. Im plenty experienced and know how to handle myself well in a fight. But I’ve always lacked the physical conditioning. While I’m in this season of isolation, I’m looking to equip myself with everything I need for when this season is over. I’ve structured a good routine for myself including, 20 min jogs, Olympic lifts, calisthenics and shadowboxing. Sprints will be the newest addition. I’ll follow the routine you placed here. I’ll do these once a week every Wednesday. Fantastic video, thank you fr

[@moversodyssey]

They are a great way to get some conditioning while also programming in some explosiveness for boxing. I did amateur boxing for 10 years and one of my favorite conditioning drills was sprinting up a hill outside the gym and walking back down before going again.

[@monicapetje8460]

My son is a long distance runner and a sprinter. I dont know how he can actually do both but I prefer him to be a sprinter because last weekend I was watching him train. He asked me If i can clock his 100 meters sprints. He ran 10.08 seconds and that's like running 37kilometer per hour . That's very impressive for his age and his only 17 years.

[@moversodyssey]

If he can get an official time under 10.8 seconds at 17 then he would do very well as a sprinter. Might even get a scholarship, especially if he can get down to around 10.5. Though too much long distance running will slow him down in the sprints. You can be good at both but you usually have to choose just one to be great. I wish him luck in whatever direction he chooses.

[@AlexanderLuna-xf5wr]

10.08 is close to Olympic qualifying times. Not chance you timed him correctly

[@Narcan885]

Also it's easier to run faster when when very young and skinny, good chance he won't improve much or even slow down

[@got2kittys]

Years ago, I would do uphill "wind sprints" about 50 to 75 yards, or until failure. Great training for 10K runs. Your cardio fitness state increases rapidly.

[@norunaround1624]

For what it is worth I'll give my take on this. As an all-around workout routine I'm agree but I would add that if your target is competitive 10k runs and/or to develop your cardio endurance you shouldn't train with sprinting too much. The reason I say that is because sprinting and distance running developments are periportally reliant to their own type of exorcise; so you are either focusing on building your aerobic metabolism or your anaerobic metabolism during training. The high intensity activities (anaerobic) use the phosphagen system and fast glycolysis to develop you to reduce lactic acid buildup while making energy without oxygen where, in contrast, with the prolonged, low-intensity activities (aerobic) you be building a cardiorespiratory endurance with the oxidative system using slow glycolysis to enhance how effectively you can utilize oxygen to fight back fatigue. You could do both but one doesn't help with the other because they are two separate energy systems you'll be training/developing. I suspect the long distance runners I ran with trained a small mounting of sprinting (usually 100 meters with very long rests) because they are hoping to improve their 'kicks' for their final pushes.
