sprinting

Hi, Just read Kettlebell AXE. Currently going through a shoulder issue. Can I do the same protocol for sprinting and still get similar benefits. 5-7 seconds sprint, OTM. Doing as many sets as I can till the heart rate doesn’t drop under the Lactate Threshold at the end of the minute. Still...

Hi everyone, It is obvious that training of <4 seconds mainly uses PCr pathway which is alactic. However, my past experience as a sprinter and lactate testing done on me at the time showed that even a small number of intervals with very short sprints (3-5 seconds) with 3-5' rests caused high...

Reading through AXE a couple of times, got me thinking of it is feasible to apply triple progression methods to sprint training? If so, what would be the three main variables to manipulate in your progressive loading of the training ?

Materials by Pavel and Geoff Neupert have got me more interested in the idea of focusing on power in training especially for middle age. In addition, I have timed my subway commute so that a short sprint allows me to get my transfer train earlier. I found I quite enjoyed this daily sprint. This...

Hi. Can one do anti glycolactic training with sprinting? What would the time one would sprint and rest? Thanks!

As I continue to dive into the StrongFirst literature I revise my thoughts on training ideas. As a locomotive endurance athlete (trail running, OCR, backpacking) I really like the idea of Q&D sprint protocols: a) brief (10 second?) sprint every 3 minutes, b) Sprint and pushup protocol from a...

Curious about the 10 sprint protocol in Q&D. Any ideas for alternatives to running? I don’t have any steep hills conveniently close by. I’m reluctant to do flat land on the road sprinting due to the very high impact forces and possibility of injury, although maybe I can work towards that later...

I'm ok with boring, but I'm not the only person involved. My daughter is 13, and wants to be stronger in order to be faster for sprinting in the track season in the spring. She is fairly strong already, she can perform a standing back tuck, for example. She has deadlifted 155 at 120 lbs. (In...

Hello StrongFirst Forum, I have done a lot of research before posting this. But I hope you want to answer some questions so I can be sure :):) I want to improve my sprinting speed with about 10 km/h My thoughts and close to a plan looks like this: - Drop my body fat to around 9% - Sprint...

Hello, StrongFirst Community! I am a currently uninjured male. I have been injured before (Achilles), but I am cleared for full physical activity (and even if I wasn't [something about contraindication]) I am currently a seventeen-year-old male who stands 5' 9.5" inches tall and weighs 145...

Hello Can anyone tell me about sprinting on my off days from the gym? I understand that building muscle ('hypertrophy') and losing fat ('cut') are just about impossible to do during the same period. For that reason I am just trying to cut for the next 4 weeks. (although both at once would be...
