  • Is running slow ever useful for sprinters? If you have ever considered using extensive tempo or intensive tempo, this video will give you some ideas as to why a sprinter may benefit from doing cardio style running workouts.
    I wouldn't suggest sprinters go out on long runs, but there is a place for sprinting at slightly slower, submaximal intensities, especially on days where you feel you cannot sprint very fast without risking injury or performing in an unsatisfactory way.

      Yeah, endurance and stamina training (and applying progressive overload to them every training session) increases your body ATP levels, which increases your capacity for high-intensity training, so high-duration running increases your ATP, which determines whether or not are you going to produce enough ATP (do you enough mitochondrial volume density, and efficiency) to sustain high-speed sprinting.

    This especially so as we get older. There is no one cookie-cutter approach to training and I like your encouragement to tailor our workouts based on how we feel. I definitely do this to get the best out of my training. Many breakdowns might be avoided with adherence to such sage advice so thanks for providing alternative perspectives, in your videos, and keep them coming!

    This is one of the most thoughtful running channels on youtube. The videos from a year ago on “The Best Drill for Sprinters & Athletes” and “Rudiment Hops” completely altered my understanding of the footstrike and the similarities (rather than differences!) between good running at slow speeds and good running at fast speeds.
    I purchased several of your works yesterday, as I’m interested to read more of what you have to say (and to support the channel).

    I'm also a fan of aquarunning workouts in the pool on days like that. On days where I don't exactly want to do nothing, but I want to keep my body fresh but still get a good workout in. The pool strengthens your hip flexors and arm stroke. The best part is that it's zero impact.

    • @ATHLETE.X
      @ATHLETE.X  2 года назад

      Thanks for your support and for buying programs! I would add them in to days with an acceleration days, taking out a couple accelerations without load and adding in an equal or greater number of sled sprints. Let's say the workout is 6x40m, you could do 3x20m sled, 3-4x40m without the sled or something like that.

    Charlie Francis' idea was that it’s a waste of time for any sprinter to run 70-95 % of his/her maximum velocity. Beneficial (positive training effect) according to Francis = running below 70 % of max velocity or above 95 % of max velocity.

    Bro i have a question. Weighted vest sprints ultimatly result in more vertical push on max velocity sprinting while sled pulls assist the horizontal vector. So my question is that can we put on a 4 kg weighted vest and a 5-8kg or more sled and sprint with both at the same time doing 20m flying sprints? Would this assist both the vertical and horizontal vectors which may both add up and produce faster times. I would like to know your thought on this.

  • @AstroBeamer

    What do you think about In and out top speed training where you have a 30 meter start then you do 15 meters fast then float for 15 meters and then re accelerate for another 15 meters.

    • @ATHLETE.X
      @ATHLETE.X  2 года назад +2

      As far as I know it can be highly effective. Teaches relaxation, how to change gears, and allows for more volume since only part of the run is all out sprinting.

    I think there is more overlap here with the CF philosophy than might be immediately apparent... Running “as fast as you feel comfortable with today” is very reminiscent of some common Eastern Bloc philosophies, which is sort of where CF’s philosophy originated out of in the first place. I interpret CF’s work as, “If you’re going to run fast today, then run as fast as you can”… where “can” will vary from day to day with your training readiness. I don’t think CF meant “can” to necessarily refer to matching personal records all the time.

      That’s a good point. I guess perhaps even the same as RPE (rate of perceived exertion) in powerlifting. Go as hard as you feel like you can today.

    • @ATHLETE.X
      @ATHLETE.X  2 года назад

      I think walking, especially with long strides, is good. Personally if I do a long morning walk I feel like I'm not as quick at the track, so I like to do my walks in the evening if I do them. Either way is fine, though, and walking is a healthy activity. Just don't get run over by a car!

    How long do you rest when doing the 7x90’s?

    • @ATHLETE.X
      @ATHLETE.X  2 года назад +2

      I started at 3min and went up to 7min, but if it was a speed endurance day and they were run at 95-100%, I'd go longer like 10-15 min. Basically the faster you're running, the longer the recovery needs to be to maintain the quality of output you want to see.

    How much slower are we talking about?like your time / 0.9?
    Does training in flat vs spike has the same principle? Or training alone vs with someone? I feel those are ways to add intensity to the run
    Especially flat/vs spike i feel even if i try my best i am is still slower (0.2 to 0.5 but this only once i have few session where i wear spike).
    Do you think running a 5x60 rest 5 in flat ( maybe during winter or in base training cicle) has not only the same carry over but is it stressful to the body has running same session in spike a bit later in the year?

      @ATHLETE.X  2 года назад +2

      I don’t believe there is a high probability of seeing a benefit, but you can try it and see if it works for you.
      If you do long, slow runs regularly, your body is going to shift into endurance mode and you’ll get weaker and slower as the body dedicates resources toward endurance at lower intensities.

    • @ATHLETE.X
      @ATHLETE.X  2 года назад +3

      If you measured it with a timing system and you were actually faster, it’s because you were fatigued and the rest alleviated the fatigue. If it’s just that you feel faster, that’s because your sensory systems got used to moving slow, so when you went back to sprinting it felt faster since it was faster than what you were doing for a week.
