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).
Hey I bought your off and pre season bundle program and was wondering when I could work in some sled run’s because I know those have helped me in the past ! Thanks
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.
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.
I like your thoughts on this. Somebody suggested hillsprints when feeling like this. That also sound wise. Me myself I like hiit and yoga inspired stretching. Not for sprinting but for mental clarity.
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.
Any time I’m hurting.. I do tempo runs.. typically 120s and 150s about 75-85 percent effort.. and I concentrate on technique. It helps me reset.. and when I start increasing force and power later. I’m able to with get technique
"you're 90% is somebodies 75%" and your "75% is somebodies 90-100%" biggest lesson I learned from my strength coach who goes by the Charlie Frances program.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
@@MrAlfalfaTV something like a 20 minute run once a week for a couple months would probably be ok in the off season if the person really enjoyed doing longer runs.
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.
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!

Thanks a lot, James! I greatly appreciate you supporting my channel/business, and am glad you are getting something out of the videos.
This type video is really helpful
Awesome man that’s my goal. Thanks for the feedback
Excellent advice.

Totally! I was using pool workouts this summer when I was rehabbing hip tendonitis.
awesome! I've been doing this for years and it's hard to explain it as well as you do! Thank you
I like your thoughts on this. Somebody suggested hillsprints when feeling like this. That also sound wise.
Me myself I like hiit and yoga inspired stretching. Not for sprinting but for mental clarity.
When I feel a bit hurt I sprint up a steep hill with a gradual start. It keeps my top speed down while stressing everything else.
So I have a lower back injury but I need to train for my upcoming track season, what are some tips you have?
This is so true. Also how are you going to train you alactic capacity if youre not allowed to use the 85-95% range? Makes no sense.

CF also has the 4lo 2hi schedule
How long do you rest when doing the 7x90’s?
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.
Love it sir
💯 more mature athletes especially can’t handle too many all out sessions

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.
Why can’t sprinters do some extra mileage throughout the week?
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 makes complete sense. What about for 400m guys?
@@MrAlfalfaTV something like a 20 minute run once a week for a couple months would probably be ok in the off season if the person really enjoyed doing longer runs.
@@ATHLETE.X cool cool, sounds good! Thanks for all the info!
Give my work out to i am fast little
How come when I take a week off from training I get way faster
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.
stressfree peacefull sprinting
What about walking long distance? I like to walk in the morning about 5k to 10k steps.
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!
@@ATHLETE.X thanks for reply, i normally walk on off day.
50 seconda frim light to light
65-70 pefcent sjouldnt feel like pushing. Dont thijnk go faster
