Other/Mixed Sprinting progressions in middle age

[guardian7]

After doing some research, I pulled back a bit and concentrated on relaxed running, upright posture, stride length, and arm movement for repeat sets on a hill. It was a good, easy session and felt good. I will build more of a base as I have not sprinted in quite a while. I don't jog due to mild plantar fasciitis which is under control.

I did it on a day off from my main workout combined it with a walk. I walked backwards between sprints as recommended by knees over toes guy. Where I live in Asia it is quite common to see older people walking backwards. It is really interesting. It is considered common knowledge for fitness here.

I am considering switching to the standing long jump to keep the focus on "easy" power when the weather gets cold.

It was common knowledge here too (until it became not so common). I've always (not every session, but since forever ago) had my swimmers do a little backwards jogging when we warm up on the basketball court.
