Why You Should Sprint

[@carsonc4134]

I like how you don’t need to sprint very much to get huge benefits quickly. It’s an extremely time efficient workout. In 30 minutes you can be cooked and sweating bullets. It’s just all about discipline

[@stevenschmidt12]

Intensity!!!

[@Marcusaurelius913]

I remember when I sprinted, I got down to 7% body fat, increased muscle mass & strength. Only downside was that I was always hungry.

[@stevenschmidt12]

What's wrong with that? Don't love food? Lol!

[@gamerwolf356]

you probably just needed to incorporate more fats into your diet to make you fuller

[@io-rj6sk]

how often did u sprint?

[@GYMSHIT]

Best sprinting video on KZbin. Your cat- mouse hill chases are becoming a favorite of mine

[@carsonc4134]

Best channel on KZbin . Thanks for taking the time to educate us

[@blacckz]

Good info thanks, just got to the point, I'm going to get into sprinting in my local park in London 👍🏿

[@willratelle8027]

Love it

Interesting about the comparison between sprinting and plyometrics. I've watched a lot of videos lately that promote plyometrics as a way to get faster, but it seems like sprinting is a way to get better at plyometrics (should plyometrics ever be an Olympic event😏). Nice video. Thx.

[@willratelle8027]

Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah I think you could even make an argument for claiming that sprinting constitutes as plyometrics as well due to the "shock" of each step. As Verkoshansky defined plyos as "shock upon landing."

[@mikeobrien1559]

@@willratelle8027 Well, I've recently gotten back into hill sprints and it was definitely a shock.😻

[@harrywildegreer4039]

very concise and informative thanks. when you say 'sprinting 30 seconds for 4-6 reps' does that mean 4-6 30 second sprints? or 4-6 short sprints in under 30 seconds. thanks!

[@willratelle8027]

Thanks Harry, In the context of bike sprints I was referring to 4-6 reps of sprints all at or about 30 seconds. Although it isn't possible to truly sprint and maintain maximum velocity for this long, it may be another option for people to get people "sprinting" when short sprints (10-20 yard) isn't intriguing to people.

I am in love with flying sprints but mostly to 30m for acceleration power

I always wanted to start but programming it in for me is difficult. How do you program sprints into your workout with recovery in mind?

[@mrgame97]

What do you do in those 4 minutes of rest? Completly rest or keep a slow walking pace?

[@carsonc4134]

you mentioned doing it only a couple times a week and I’m wondering if there are any drawbacks to doing sprints sets daily? Thanks

[@willratelle8027]

As long as dosing is appropriate, you probably could sprint daily. Dosing would have to consider distance, load, reps, % of max velocity etc. It is probably difficult to do this daily but theoretically could be done.

[@carsonc4134]

@@willratelle8027 thanks for the reply. I like how you have a science based approach. I have a couple requests. Can you make some videos on the topic of endurance, breath holding, occlusion (blood flow restriction), and altitude training? Thanks

[@carsonc4134]

@@willratelle8027 I’m training to be a pro cyclist and to be truly competitive we’ve got to be able to distance and sprints both. Curious to hear your take on endurance training incorporated into sprint training

[@carsonc4134]

@@willratelle8027 also if you look at the “hour record” it’s a record based on the riders max functional threshold power. Would you have any tips for how I could increase my power output while also increasing the amount of time I’m able to do it?

[@willratelle8027]

@@carsonc4134 I don’t, I’d have to look into it

What are your thoughts in short sprints for weightlifting far out from a meet (10-12 weeks) once a week

[@willratelle8027]

I think it’s a good idea for weightlifters to sprint

[@a_sliight.crunch6491]

When I sprint my knees hurt , I agree that I should sprint, do you know how can I get there without the pain, I’m 19.
