Anyone here run sprints?

I like to run true 90% plus effort(rpe) 40 yard dashes.

What I do(work up to the volume slowly) is do this

1@50% rpe
2@75-80% rpe
7-10@90%+ row

I have a neighbor that works out with me and on the full go sprints, we race.

Now you are not going to be able to start at this or you will prolly tear a hammy right off the bone. Start with Working up to 5@75% for your top sets.

Make sure you warm up properly. We do this on non lifting days, up to 3 times a week. Our goals are 10 true sprints in 5 min.

I find sprints and the prowlers allow me to fully recover unlike other things. Keep in mind I am older and have a lot of time under the bar, so I am very mindful of my joints.

If you go into the running thread, you'll see lots of us do them.

I typically do them once every other week or so. 1 mile warm up. .25 miles (400m) sprints, followed by same distance recovery. Repeat 5 or 6 times and then do the final sprint for .50 (800m) and then a 1 mile cool down.

I’ll check in there more often, I just assumed that was for distance running

I’m basically looking to get leaner, stronger, and feel more athletic. My plan to do that is loft heavy and run fast.
