Sprints
Short all-out efforts with full recovery between them; quality falls off fast, so keep the count low.
How to do it
Setup
Thorough warm-up: jog, drills, a few strides building to fast.
Steps
- Sprint short and ALL-OUT.
- Recover fully – walk until the breath settles.
- Repeat while quality holds; stop when it drops.
Common mistakes
Short rests: sprints are not intervals; full recovery IS the format. Sprinting cold: a cold hamstring is the one that gets strained; warm up fully first. Adding reps as form fades: quality falls before you feel it.
Breathing
All-out effort; let it recover fully between reps.
