Same, man. I work in the medical field, which can be somewhat stressful, and I hit some sprints in the sun before work the other day and it was such a huge mood booster. Nothing could bring me down or piss me off
how often should I sprint a week on top of strength training? is there a certain rep and distance range? your channel is a gold mine btw keep up the good work :)
So if I want to jump higher and have a good jump technique, are there any reasons to do more plyometric exercises in addition to sprints in order to improve my vertical jump? And if there are, what these reasons are?
nice video but I think it's important to mention that if you never train sprints you need to go really progressively with your training. If you go 90-100% in your first session you have great chances to get injured. Sprint can be pretty dangerous in that sense
I’m gonna start sprinting man I don’t do it at all currently. Kinda just put it to the side for a while but gonna give it a strong go and test the results.
@@kakasvk to be fair I’ve had a couple injuries (multiple ankle) (broken arms) since this post and I’m only just now getting back in the gym to start training again, so honestly I never got a good go at it but I’m back to dunking now and will be working my way back to getting into a full routine sprinting included. So hopefully these next couple months go better than the last few have and I can give you a positive answer lol 😅
What do you think about wall drills, sprint drills , resisted marches/sprints etc for sprint technique ? Should you do those before sprinting or just warmup and sprint ?
Not him but the resistance isn't measurable due to wind speed, direction, even humidity and temp. Those affect an un-parachuted athlete as well. I believe I read a Charlie Francis article where he describes why he doesn't like them either, though I don't recall why. He did say that sprinting in short bursts while pulling a sled with weight is ok as long as the weight is only 10-15% of the athlete's weight, as going higher shifts their posture in such a way that it's no longer sport specific to sprinters. I don't know how much of a consideration that should be for people who aren't interested in improving their sprint specifically, though I would err on the side of caution here. The articles can be found on T-nation if you're interested in reading them, Charlie Francis was a great coach regardless of the controversies.
@willratelle8027 OK, so let's say somebody runs a concurrent program where they're doing everything to some capacity at once (speed, strength, etc.). Is this likely to increase the likelihood of overtraining as I'd imagine stressing the body in these different ways may lead to higher chance of neural fatigue vs. If you were to focus on strength, or speed or whatever as its easier to know when you're cooked in that specific training mode. If that makes sense?
