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)

[@lordelon9955]

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.

[@bigbattenberg]

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).

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.

a heart rate monitor will tell you your rest time. with a free app from polar or others you can record a graph of the heart rate and define a minimum heart rate where you feel comfortable again. after the second sprint you will see already that it takes maybe half a minute longer to get the heart rate down.

Hah! I've called it that too.

[@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...

those are some neat illustrations and as a distance runner, the interval training is a necessity to not get bored with the long slow twitch

Yo that plan at 3:30 is solid.. Little gathered over time builds character. Chasing quick success builds ego and injuries..

[@Dragonfly3111]

Love this one! Love all your videos but this one is my favorite ❤

[@Palgrave]

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.

[@alexs591]

Improving SPEED requires very little volume but maximum intensity. A lot of 80% effort sprints make you fit, but only max velocity sprints make you fast. 3 40 yard dashes 2-3x week with lots of rest. Careful with the volume if fast is the goal.

[@norunaround1624]

Great video. Awesome art style as well. One thing I would have touched on is anaerobic vs aerobic training difference as well. I've run with Sprinter who went on to compete in the Olympics who couldn't finish a 2 mile run without heaving and dry vomiting because their bodies were so conditioned to anaerobic training.

[@ljss6805]

When I was on the track team in college, one of the best sprint intervals we had was 10x200m@30sec w/2min recovery. Or sprinting hills for 100m with recovery of however long it took to walk back.

[@patmull1]

What have you trained for? That's endurance training, not speed. You cannot rest for only 2 minutes and run 2k of 200m at a good speed. This video is not talking about your type of training.

[@siranxothedon]

This is incredibly precious information, thanks a lot for spreading it!

[@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.

Yes. Except when it doesn't heal. Thinking of you osteoarthritis and inner-ear hair cells and synapses (for example). But of course this isn't something you reflect over when your body is healthy and without issues - then the body is just amazing. :)

A lot of people in the comments are confusing HIIT with sprint interval training, but you are clearly making a distinction at 1:10. Also, at 3:12, you describe a sprint workout that is clearly not HIIT because that rest period is too long for HIIT. I have seen a lot of guys using sprints for HIIT, but sprint interval training is different. Highlighting this distinction is important here.

[@rookendgame]

Progressing chin ups and dips until you can do good volume with a weight attached. Slowly work your way up. Alternate heavy and light sessions. 5 reps per set is heavy. 10 to 12 is light. For legs, I do not recommend barbell squatting. You can build much bigger legs with less risk of back and knee injury with a combination of RDLs and hack squat/leg press. Other accessories you can do of course like machines and dumbbells but these are the main lifts.

[@maksillorenzo9480]

Any increase in testosterone from exercise is short term, and your levels usually go back to normal later in the same day. Exercise, in any form, is great to keep a normal testosterone level in healthy individuals - but it will only keep you within the normal range. Same thing with your diet, any foods that appear to raise testosterone will only do so for a limited time period, and your levels will drop later in the day. Any increase of testosterone within the normal range will have zero to little change on your physique. Big changes to your physique (in an unusually fast time period) require unnatural levels of testosterone brought into your body by pharmaceuticals.

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.

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. Good luck with your training, hope the boxing goes well!
