re: When's the last time you sprinted as hard as you can?

Last week. I did 4x800 sprints. Next week is 5x800

He said “as hard as you can”. You didn’t do that for 800 meters.

I do speed work at 80 seconds per quarter mile, but that’s not nearly a full on sprint. The last time I sprinted for 40 yards was when I last played touch football at age 47 (I think). That was 10 years ago. But my brother - a year older, at 58 - still friggin plays! I tell you, he’s a marvel. Every Saturday morning at Metry playground he has a pickup game, and it’s been going on since we started it in about 1985. He takes a break from about February through August, and plays basketball instead.
