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.

Another benefit, is feeling awesome. Sprinting is such a cool feeling, being able to move at incredibly fast speeds is one of life’s best pleasures.

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.

Ive been sprinting for almost a month as of writing this. I only sprint 1-2 100m dashes a day, though ive seen significant improvements to my overal physique and body shape. Ive gained a decent ammount of muscle in that time, and on top of veing faster, i also am able to run for longer amounts of time. I really think that if everyone did a little sprinting each day, the world would be a lot healthier

I heard Huberman mention something about sprinting recently, and have now done a few simple sprints repeat (10X) sessions on the grass, the length of the soccer field. It feels great. 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.

My neighbors think I'm weird sprinting up and down the street but whatever, gotta get those sprints in.

Outstanding revelatory video that I've been doing for no running. My legs were shattered in Viet Nam and so I do this sprinting with swimming and rowing and it works the same. I was winning national fitness contests at over 50 and now I'm just under 75 and ready for fitness pics on my 75th birthday and getting more ripped. Enjoy the sprinting in your way.

Bolt does an average of about 38kph in his sprints for about 10s, Kipchoge does 21kph for 2hrs. Long distance running is really really tough.

Thank you. I spent a few weeks doing goofy looking physio exercises in the gym for hips and hamstrings just so could do sprint training with out injury as a middle aged guy. Now don't feel so silly. It worked, went to the beach with nephew and just sprinted for the fun of it and felt fantastic. Fight or flight. Seems sprint training should be a lot more popular than it is.

Before a year, I decided to become one of the few hobby sprinters in the world of hobby long-distance runners. Sometimes you feel like a weirdo, but I don't look back. I love the variety of supplementary exercises and workouts I can do and the amazing feeling when your visual field blurs in a full speed and you feel the wind washing your body while you are sprinting fast. It's an amazing mental exercise as well for staying calm in a stressful situations.

Please never stop making videos like this, it’s so helpful and honestly very entertaining to watch, YouTube channels that focus on miscellaneous forms of body strengthening are very rare and way more fun to watch than simple strength and muscle building channels.

After sprints, my posture is incredibly improved for days. Don’t know why but it does

After permanently breaking my toe a few months ago, I can no longer sprint for fitness, which was all I did. Run while you can lads! It’s a gift.

[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.

That Rocky reference was so spot on, im pretty sure most of us had ut in the back of our heads since the video has started 😅 Thank you for the great video, sir 👍🏼

I've been sprinting for a year and If I hadn't been aware of this video I'd have continued to make the same mistakes I did all year.
I want to be explosive in speed for combat sports. The sprint workout you recommended I believe is game changing for me.

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)

I love this channel bro, just went out to sprint for the first time in 10 years and I feel amazing.
I'd usually do regular 5km runs and get bored after a couple times and give it up for months.
Running makes me feel dull mentally afterwards but right now I'm sharp and excited.
The feeling at top speed was incomparable.
Definitely gonna be keeping sprints in my routine.

It’s important to note that it is really easy to over train doing sprints. My track coach had us run up to 40 sprints some days and we were sprinting every single day. I injured my quad pretty bad and my friend severely injured his hamstring (almost coming off the bone!) We are both the fastest players on our football team so it really hurt our team to have us out on injuries that could have easily been avoided.

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.
