Sprinting feels amazing. When I run a 5K, I often finish with a sprint. When you make that decision, it's like your body undergoes a mechanical gear change and then you start accelerating, the whole body working in perfect harmony, and then the inevitable deceleration which is really hard given your momentum. Sprinting is so liberating.
I love this. I have a massive bug up my ass about how we don't let children run these days. "It's a fundamental human movement" to run and yet we constantly say to children "no running" because "they might hurt themselves". If we let children run more, they would not all be on medication for everything form ADHA to depression and anxiety. Telling a child they are not competent to run is telling them they are not competent to perform they most basic human function. Please do a Jamie Oliver and get this into schools.
The thing about children is they lack the experience (and brain power) to understand context. Running outside you need to be aware of streets and the terrain itself (holes, obstacles, etc.). Running inside they might have toys lying around and so on. A child does not differentiate between just running and running in a safely matter and teaching it the difference isn't necessarily going to work, depending on their age. Most people have stories of doing "dangerous" things when they were kids, because even they knew it was dangerous they couldn't really relate to the danger. That's why we have sports, to be fair, and I think sports (for children) should be encouraged significantly more than they are, at a significantly younger ages, too. Talking about sports that involve a lot, or at least a decent amount of running.

sprinting is one of the best all-in-one exercises out there, maybe THE best. But before you sprint, slowly go and watch the track for holes or obstacles and remove them. And start low (fe 3 sets of short sprint followed by a long break and slowly improve set count/sprint distance. The first time I sprinted I had extreme DOMS in muscle that I did not know existed in my body.
I'm a long distance trail runner and I've always mixed in regular sprint training as well as uphill sprint training for the last two decades. I essentially go on a long run and simply make it a point to sprint the uphills, recover in the down hills and subsequently sprint the last half mile or so of my long run. It does wonders for my overall cardio and muscle gains.
That’s not sprinting. A proper sprint can only be done when you’re fully rested and ready because fatigue limits your ability to hit top speed and if you’re not within 95% of your top speed you’re not sprinting.
Be very careful when you start sprinting and start out slow, don't overdo it right off the bat. Sprinting too hard too early can really mess up your achilles tendon.

Also, research shows that sprinting backwards increases speed going forward. Even walking backwards has similar benefits. But doing it sprinting brings it all to a whole other level.

A few days ago i participated in a relay race.I've been intensely training for it for around 2 weeks,performing most of the said techniques intuitively,and even from this short period i felt great benefits to my body just as described in this video. For me,it is another proof that you always delivers effective,scientifically proven ways to enhance physical performance and health without the constrictions of training at one specific place(gym).

I started sprinting last spring, and did hill sprints once a week till the snow hit. It was a great, quick workout that got me a bit of running despite an injury that was getting triggered by longer distances. Thanks for the reminder to get back out there.
Hey brother , your content is so informative and helpful , you are like the best fitness youtuber out there. I have watched a ton of your videos and all of them were absolutely amazing. I actually suffer from anxiety stuttering, i used be a very great speaker since i learned to speak and had absolutely no fear of public speaking and many teachers of mine used to praise me on how fluently i speak and also the tone of dialogue is really good but things really came crashing down for me during the covid era i acquired some sort of stuttering due to anxiety. This problem has become a nightmare for me now , can you please make a video on how to cure it , even upto an extent that many of us like me will be able to atleast ace our job interviews and live a normal life. I request you please consider it. It will be of so much help for me and many others.
one person I've heard of with stuttering was Paul Stamets and he helped his stuttering with a dose of magic mushrooms, might be worth checking out. The psilocybin reduces the default mode network which can be over active in people with anxiety. good luck
@@LatimusChadimus super fair. Actually genuinely dangerous in snow and ice conditions, definitely don’t sprint in those conditions. Just making fun of people who believe David goggins type of training makes any amount of sense if ur not a total genetic anomaly and are also an absolute lunatic lol
Hill sprints are awesome. You improve your strength, power, and endurance in a single workout. And if you throw in a couole of backward jaunts up the hill, you promote improved posture and uniform musculature. Great stuff.
I would only add.. the benefit of a coinsiding, mental "hack" of imagining your being chased by an animal or someone.. while spriniting at top speed, and then afterwards to stop lay down and express relief from the "chase".. I mean what else is working out, but mimicking the hard work we used to do in nature or on a farm, hunting or foraging for days. So this pretend... mental stress, also triggers a hormonal response that helps in building muscle and endurance, all beset by the bodies inherent intellgence to protect itself from harm.
Good. I learned long ago that fake/forced smiling can induce the same response as real joviality. Based on that, when I learned that victory increases testosterone, I took to mimicking/acting out victory in the belief that it might trigger some of the same hormonal response. I'll take your idea of being chased and then expressing relief into use.
@@madhusudan nice.. I forgot about that one.. yup the mind and body doesn't "know" the difference.. between real or imagined.. which is why too, we are warned against negative thinking.. thought is more powerful than we know.. good luck brothr!
I do the same but I am the one chasing the deer or prey. It’s a good mental drill. A good drill too is to throw a frisbee and chase it, literally like a dog but it does have the added benefit of non linear movement, visual tracking, and directional change
@@theseangle well if your 80 yeah you shouldn't be sprinting.. or if you chug transfats.. don't lay down right after.. But everyone else can, stop.. and then lay down, and purposely project relief..says the science
Watching this before doing interval sprints for the first time in years with my coworker. It's going to be rough but I'm excited. And dreading it. But also excited.
this video was great. i dont know who you are or what your other videos are but as that 35 year old weirdo sprinting at the park 2 times a week i can super appreciate this video. i just like it because it makes me happy and it feels super powerful.
5:30 i realised this myself (i've not heard anyone mention this until you / now) but i hop on the spot 300x every day, it's essentially skipping but without the rope, and it improved my bleep-test score (which i have to do for work). its sorta my secret training weapon as you can do it anywhere.
I always loved longer sprint reps for a workout, such as 6/7 x 400m sprint with a 60 sec rest, usually finished with a 10 min jog, it’s a great way to improve stamina, keeping up a near maximal pace for an extended period (extended in terms of sprinting) and keeping the heart rate going and smashing them out was great for improving stamina and speed sustainment, whilst also getting some endurance benefits due to the session lasting about 20 mins. Sadly I trained too hard and badly tore my calf muscle, I haven’t been able to run in nearly 2 years. Combining longer sprint reps with some long distance runs is a great way to increase your overall pace when training for track events and 5k/10k type stuff
I knew sprinting is an all-encompassing exercise and I've always wondered why Bioneer doesn't have a sprinting video on his channel. I can finally rest easy now.
I'm trying to get more conditioning into my days. I'm adding backward sled drag a la kneesovertoesguy, farmers walks, and hill sprints would be great since I live on a steep hill. I've been binging Brian Alsruhe's channel and even though my main goal has been hypertrophy I can't deny that training with conditioning built in is way more fun and feels really good.
Bioneer, you should go into the rabbit hole of mediation and breath control. Stuff like visualization, focusing on breathing, training to slash distracting thoughts and ect.
This is well timed. I just finished training for running 5k - 10km distances, and now am taking a break for swimming focused training and to rest my Achilles tendon which is getting slightly sore. I will be going into sprinting training 1x a week to start then ending with 2x - 3x a week when finished with swimming 2x - 3x a week.
I ran competitively all my life but scoliosis caught up to me now I can't run or swim but treading water is amazing easy to scale intensity easy on joints you can get resistance in any direction long looping arms, or push all direction, strides, lunges, flailing all good... but loading joints and spine if you can is important...
It's the best results I've ever had, as well, paired with lifting weights. The best part is that it doesn't take much time to gain an effective workout and fat burning from sprints. I used to run 50-60 yard sprints, aiming for usually somewhere around 10-12 runs, with breaks of a minute or so in between, and the whole set is done in about 20 minutes-perfect for the mornings before school or work.
I just sprinted yesterday! Now and again I’ll perform some 40-100m sprints, but I spend a lot of time warming up and usually keep it to about 95% top speed. My go-to distance for sprints is usually 200/300/400m repeats with adequate rest. So 30-60sec efforts with about 1:4 or 1:5 work/rest ratio. Keep running y’all!
Great Video ! I remember when I played Football (America/Canadian Style) we had to run smaller hills and Short Sprints 40-70 Yards. The NFL Combines (Selecting Top College Players for Profession Teams) one of the Tests is the 40 Yard Dash (Record was 4.21). Sounds like your from the UK so I guess Rugby and Soccer Players must have to be Fast sometimes with explosive Burst of speed too. Also when I did Track and Field the real Power Sprints seemed to Top out at 200 to 400M after that I think some Pacing after that would be required if going Full Bore. Roger Banister 1st man to do 4 minute Mile would Average 17.60/100 yards in a 1 mile run. Also what do think about Cross Country Running, in your video looks like that or mixing up the Pace I guess. Even in the Boy Scouts (old days) was something like Walking 50 Yards them Running 50 (alternating) when hiking sometimes. I guess the Top women sprinters (100 M) are only than a second or 2 behind the men ?! Also to qualify for Police officer training here Recruits must run 5 KM in 30 Minute. What do you think ? Thank you Jim Canada
agreed here is my story: i was doing jogging after workout but my breath didnt get any better. i tried very different things like Bresthing technics but didnt help. than i quit lifting weight and switched to bodyweight and switch to sprinting from jogging. i sprint 6am to 7 am every single day. my breath never been better my skin looks good even now it has been 10 days. my testesterone increased signififintyl
Effect of 6 weeks of sprint training on growth hormone responses to sprinting. Study by Keith A Stokes, Mary E Nevill, Paul W Cherry, Henryk K A Lakomy, George M Hall This study examined the effect of 6 weeks of prescribed sprint training on the human growth hormone (hGH) response to cycle ergometer sprinting. Sixteen male subjects were randomly assigned to a training (n=8) or a control (n=8) group. Each subject completed two main trials, consisting of two all-out 30-s cycle-ergometer sprints separated by 60 min of passive recovery, once before, and once after a 6-week training period. The training group completed three supervised sprint-training sessions per week in addition to their normal activity, whilst control subjects continued with their normal activity. In the training group, peak and mean power increased post-training by 6% (P
I was a pretty good sprinter but then i got injured constantly so i moved to long distance and got really good at it, been thinkjng i should try sprinting again and thus my sign to go back into it😅
@@dennisrobinson8008 perhaps, I did track and soccer at the same time with no gradual integration so I just say overload. About being powerful enough, I’m not sure if 10.9 would be intense enough, could be wrong doh 😅
Also - sprinting uphill is a great way to prevent hamstring injury which is very common in max effort sprints because it prevents you from stretching your leading leg out too far in front of you.
1:27 It's less abduction than keeping your arms close to your body. You don't want to move them across your body's frontal plane but move them in the sagittal plane. This, however, stretches your pecs pretty well during the backwards motion (which under tension also stimulates muscle growth) and there is still a decent amount of pec activation involved in bringing the arms forward and keeping them in line. I'd also like to add just how comprehensive an exercise sprinting actually is: I do track and field training and the last sprint training left me with aching in my upper back because the explosiveness you mention requries a lot of work from those muscles, too, when your bring your arms forward (while the backward motion works the rear delts and lats). Even the muscles in your upper arms do more than one might expect since the biceps and triceps also contribute to the forwards and backwards motion respectively (the biceps in particular has to catch your forearm at the end of the backwards motion), and some tension in your forearms keeping your hands flat and open further enhances that muscle activation. Sprinting truly is a full body exercise.
I didn't realize until now, this is why I like sprinting up stairs for a warm-up. Gets the plyo in the mix, and for me, it forces me into a "sprinting mindset" in a more upright position.
Reading through these comments nobody seems to get that you can’t sprint unless you’re fully recovered and rested. All you’re doing is running as fast as you can while fighting fatigue.
Excellent. I am healing from adrenal,and thyroid fatigue. It will take me a while to build up to sprinting. Plus my joints will,need to work up to that. So, it would be nice to know what you recommend as progressions, though obviously that will be whatever starts everything moving starting slow then working up to the fast. I’m 53 now. I was a great runner in school. Had some school records in the 440 and 600. Not exactly sprinting.
Hated hill days when I ran track, but none of us could argue with the results. They were "nice" in that we only had a set distance we needed to travel (to the top) so we could go as hard as possible then take our time with a slow shag back down to the start. Looking back at it from a weightlifting perspective, it fits really well into the Lifting Set model which just confirms the strength benefits of the workout. That all said we balanced sprinting days with Tempo runs for sustained speed and distance days for VO2 max; looking back there was a lot of wisdom there that I'm only now rediscovering.
This is great video, really love it!. I have one constructive tip if I may: while sprinting let your heels almost hit your buttocks, that way you know you made a perfect range of motion and maximize the lap time.
have you heard of the left AIC pattern? you should do a video on GAIT. proper walking and then progression into running then sprinting using BOTH HIPS and your full body
Sprintint really is just mentzer high intensity training in motion. Sprint until u slow down, ie hit positive failure, and your muscles will have the signal to grow. Id say even one all out sprint to failure a week is enough to build growth. Its the perfect use of all the pegs musculature too

@@SlCKNESS_ - Research has actually challenged that old assumption. It was based on low quality research. It's similar to why so much of the old epidemiological research in nutrition studies hasn't replicated.. The correlation is not causal. It turns out that office workers who get the least amount of sun are most likely to die from skin cancer.
@@MarmaladeINFP I don't know about "research", it's literally basic science how sunlight works, but okay.
A few days ago i participated in a relay race.I've been intensely training for it for around 2 weeks,performing most of the said techniques intuitively,and even from this short period i felt great benefits to my body just as described in this video.
For me,it is another proof that you always delivers effective,scientifically proven ways to enhance physical performance and health without the constrictions of training at one specific place(gym). Thank you, Bioneer!
2:31 like approaching a log bar, doing a bent over row, an RDL, a clean, a viper press, a strict press, a push press, a thruster, and an atlas thruster. That's one of the sequences I will be doing tomorrow and it definitely targets everything
Awesome man! Can you make a video on the "how" of sprinting? Form, movement etc😊
I’m still learning very much myself! But as I improve, I will share 😁
@@TheBioneer Great isn't it, I love our capacity for learning 😁
Nah that SA1 intro fucking killed me 😭
"I understood that reference "
That opening sent me back lol
0:05 he forgot to turn the oven off.
I love maces, clubs, kettlebells, bands and spheres for rotational power training, yet I do sprint so I'll add on that tag to my list 😁

I started sprinting last spring, and did hill sprints once a week till the snow hit. It was a great, quick workout that got me a bit of running despite an injury that was getting triggered by longer distances. Thanks for the reminder to get back out there.
Hey brother , your content is so informative and helpful , you are like the best fitness youtuber out there. I have watched a ton of your videos and all of them were absolutely amazing. I actually suffer from anxiety stuttering, i used be a very great speaker since i learned to speak and had absolutely no fear of public speaking and many teachers of mine used to praise me on how fluently i speak and also the tone of dialogue is really good but things really came crashing down for me during the covid era i acquired some sort of stuttering due to anxiety. This problem has become a nightmare for me now , can you please make a video on how to cure it , even upto an extent that many of us like me will be able to atleast ace our job interviews and live a normal life. I request you please consider it. It will be of so much help for me and many others.
one person I've heard of with stuttering was Paul Stamets and he helped his stuttering with a dose of magic mushrooms, might be worth checking out. The psilocybin reduces the default mode network which can be over active in people with anxiety. good luck
Confidence. Steps to improve it. Reduce stressor from your life. Get stronger. Affirmations followed by action.
This video really motivated me with my sprinting journey, it’s definitely worth it!
Now that the weather is getting calmer and more consistent I can get back out sprinting at least once a week
Sprint at all times and in all weather, “who’s gonna carry the boats, and logs?!?” lol.
Jk don’t do that. Lol, carry on being smart.
@@SantaCruzChillin that is a good one and the only place I could go is the trail which doesn't get plowed and I don't use high school tracks like that
@@LatimusChadimus super fair. Actually genuinely dangerous in snow and ice conditions, definitely don’t sprint in those conditions. Just making fun of people who believe David goggins type of training makes any amount of sense if ur not a total genetic anomaly and are also an absolute lunatic lol
Hill sprints are awesome. You improve your strength, power, and endurance in a single workout. And if you throw in a couole of backward jaunts up the hill, you promote improved posture and uniform musculature. Great stuff.
I would only add.. the benefit of a coinsiding, mental "hack" of imagining your being chased by an animal or someone.. while spriniting at top speed, and then afterwards to stop lay down and express relief from the "chase"..
I mean what else is working out, but mimicking the hard work we used to do in nature or on a farm, hunting or foraging for days.
So this pretend... mental stress, also triggers a hormonal response that helps in building muscle and endurance, all beset by the bodies inherent intellgence to protect itself from harm.
Good. I learned long ago that fake/forced smiling can induce the same response as real joviality. Based on that, when I learned that victory increases testosterone, I took to mimicking/acting out victory in the belief that it might trigger some of the same hormonal response. I'll take your idea of being chased and then expressing relief into use.
@@madhusudan nice.. I forgot about that one.. yup the mind and body doesn't "know" the difference.. between real or imagined.. which is why too, we are warned against negative thinking.. thought is more powerful than we know.. good luck brothr!
I do the same but I am the one chasing the deer or prey. It’s a good mental drill. A good drill too is to throw a frisbee and chase it, literally like a dog but it does have the added benefit of non linear movement, visual tracking, and directional change
Don't lay down after sprinting! Unless you wanna get a stroke
@@theseangle well if your 80 yeah you shouldn't be sprinting.. or if you chug transfats.. don't lay down right after..
But everyone else can, stop.. and then lay down, and purposely project relief..says the science
Watching this before doing interval sprints for the first time in years with my coworker. It's going to be rough but I'm excited. And dreading it. But also excited.
this video was great. i dont know who you are or what your other videos are but as that 35 year old weirdo sprinting at the park 2 times a week i can super appreciate this video. i just like it because it makes me happy and it feels super powerful.
5:30 i realised this myself (i've not heard anyone mention this until you / now) but i hop on the spot 300x every day, it's essentially skipping but without the rope, and it improved my bleep-test score (which i have to do for work). its sorta my secret training weapon as you can do it anywhere.
Sprinting feels great 😁 love the feel of wind and feel of freedom.
love the guy disappearing into the shrubbery at 0:37 :D
This is the best thumbnail and intro you’ve ever made 🤣
👍👍👍
I always loved longer sprint reps for a workout, such as 6/7 x 400m sprint with a 60 sec rest, usually finished with a 10 min jog, it’s a great way to improve stamina, keeping up a near maximal pace for an extended period (extended in terms of sprinting) and keeping the heart rate going and smashing them out was great for improving stamina and speed sustainment, whilst also getting some endurance benefits due to the session lasting about 20 mins. Sadly I trained too hard and badly tore my calf muscle, I haven’t been able to run in nearly 2 years. Combining longer sprint reps with some long distance runs is a great way to increase your overall pace when training for track events and 5k/10k type stuff
How was your warm-ups? How fast were your 400m?
Great job shootimg the intro!!!! That was epic!
I knew sprinting is an all-encompassing exercise and I've always wondered why Bioneer doesn't have a sprinting video on his channel. I can finally rest easy now.
I'm trying to get more conditioning into my days. I'm adding backward sled drag a la kneesovertoesguy, farmers walks, and hill sprints would be great since I live on a steep hill. I've been binging Brian Alsruhe's channel and even though my main goal has been hypertrophy I can't deny that training with conditioning built in is way more fun and feels really good.
I'd recommend farmers walk but the weight only in one hand, it builds reall core and back power. Of course make sure to train both sides :)
Bioneer, you should go into the rabbit hole of mediation and breath control. Stuff like visualization, focusing on breathing, training to slash distracting thoughts and ect.
Perfect! Now to find a scenic European hillside...
This is well timed. I just finished training for running 5k - 10km distances, and now am taking a break for swimming focused training and to rest my Achilles tendon which is getting slightly sore. I will be going into sprinting training 1x a week to start then ending with 2x - 3x a week when finished with swimming 2x - 3x a week.
Playing basketball and going hard will do all these things and it’s a lot funner than “pretending you’re being chased” or sight seeing.
I ran competitively all my life but scoliosis caught up to me now I can't run or swim but treading water is amazing easy to scale intensity easy on joints you can get resistance in any direction long looping arms, or push all direction, strides, lunges, flailing all good... but loading joints and spine if you can is important...
Thanks. Really enjoyed this one
It's the best results I've ever had, as well, paired with lifting weights. The best part is that it doesn't take much time to gain an effective workout and fat burning from sprints. I used to run 50-60 yard sprints, aiming for usually somewhere around 10-12 runs, with breaks of a minute or so in between, and the whole set is done in about 20 minutes-perfect for the mornings before school or work.
Great video. I'm going to add sprints to my training
I just sprinted yesterday! Now and again I’ll perform some 40-100m sprints, but I spend a lot of time warming up and usually keep it to about 95% top speed. My go-to distance for sprints is usually 200/300/400m repeats with adequate rest. So 30-60sec efforts with about 1:4 or 1:5 work/rest ratio. Keep running y’all!
I gotta open my heart . . . To sprinting!
First time watching your videos, I loved it, I thought that you were Richard Madden at the beginning of the video

Great intro !! Love the intensity
here in Brazil is hard to find Barefoot shoes, I don't think we will need them if we already walking bare foot. I wish I could buy them
You have a beach to run ? If you decide to go barefoot, pre track your run path so you do injure yourself on anything in the sand.
@@timbo7873 we wear sandals
There are some barefoot shoes brands in Brazil: Vita Minimalista (which I have and enjoy), Fot and Plana.
Great Video ! I remember when I played Football (America/Canadian Style) we had to run smaller hills and Short Sprints 40-70 Yards. The NFL Combines (Selecting Top College Players for Profession Teams) one of the Tests is the 40 Yard Dash (Record was 4.21). Sounds like your from the UK so I guess Rugby and Soccer Players must have to be Fast sometimes with explosive Burst of speed too. Also when I did Track and Field the real Power Sprints seemed to Top out at 200 to 400M after that I think some Pacing after that would be required if going Full Bore. Roger Banister 1st man to do 4 minute Mile would Average 17.60/100 yards in a 1 mile run. Also what do think about Cross Country Running, in your video looks like that or mixing up the Pace I guess. Even in the Boy Scouts (old days) was something like Walking 50 Yards them Running 50 (alternating) when hiking sometimes.
I guess the Top women sprinters (100 M) are only than a second or 2 behind the men ?! Also to qualify for Police officer training here Recruits must run 5 KM in 30 Minute. What do you think ?
Thank you

We Dwarves are natural sprinters! Very dangerous over short distances!
Not very short over dangerous distances ?
agreed here is my story: i was doing jogging after workout but my breath didnt get any better. i tried very different things like Bresthing technics but didnt help. than i quit lifting weight and switched to bodyweight and switch to sprinting from jogging. i sprint 6am to 7 am every single day. my breath never been better my skin looks good even now it has been 10 days. my testesterone increased signififintyl
You re the best!
I love how your title tells me everything I really need to know. Liked and subbed.
💪 interesting great watch
Effect of 6 weeks of sprint training on growth hormone responses to sprinting.
Study by Keith A Stokes, Mary E Nevill, Paul W Cherry, Henryk K A Lakomy, George M Hall
This study examined the effect of 6 weeks of prescribed sprint training on the human growth hormone (hGH) response to cycle ergometer sprinting. Sixteen male subjects were randomly assigned to a training (n=8) or a control (n=8) group. Each subject completed two main trials, consisting of two all-out 30-s cycle-ergometer sprints separated by 60 min of passive recovery, once before, and once after a 6-week training period. The training group completed three supervised sprint-training sessions per week in addition to their normal activity, whilst control subjects continued with their normal activity. In the training group, peak and mean power increased post-training by 6% (P
I was a pretty good sprinter but then i got injured constantly so i moved to long distance and got really good at it, been thinkjng i should try sprinting again and thus my sign to go back into it😅
Hill Sprint with no injury. In fact it protects you from injury. Try it and change your life.
You were powerful enough to get injured. Looking back did you find reason for the injuries? Perhaps inadequate warmup and mobility?
@@dennisrobinson8008 perhaps, I did track and soccer at the same time with no gradual integration so I just say overload. About being powerful enough, I’m not sure if 10.9 would be intense enough, could be wrong doh 😅
@@lightning3605 10.9 is certainly enough
Also - sprinting uphill is a great way to prevent hamstring injury which is very common in max effort sprints because it prevents you from stretching your leading leg out too far in front of you.
Oh not first this time ... Btw u upload video on same time every time ... Love from india
i gym in vivo barefoot but an older model. Tried the newer ones but when i walk they pressed on my toes. They look lovely though! 10/10 service too.
The Sonic Adventure intro 😂😂😂😂
Good catch!
Gone to practice sprinting this morning thanks to this vid. Thanks bioneer!!!

1:27 It's less abduction than keeping your arms close to your body. You don't want to move them across your body's frontal plane but move them in the sagittal plane.
This, however, stretches your pecs pretty well during the backwards motion (which under tension also stimulates muscle growth) and there is still a decent amount of pec activation involved in bringing the arms forward and keeping them in line.
I'd also like to add just how comprehensive an exercise sprinting actually is: I do track and field training and the last sprint training left me with aching in my upper back because the explosiveness you mention requries a lot of work from those muscles, too, when your bring your arms forward (while the backward motion works the rear delts and lats).
Even the muscles in your upper arms do more than one might expect since the biceps and triceps also contribute to the forwards and backwards motion respectively (the biceps in particular has to catch your forearm at the end of the backwards motion), and some tension in your forearms keeping your hands flat and open further enhances that muscle activation.
Sprinting truly is a full body exercise.

I didn't realize until now, this is why I like sprinting up stairs for a warm-up. Gets the plyo in the mix, and for me, it forces me into a "sprinting mindset" in a more upright position.
For the algorithm
Thank you.

Reading through these comments nobody seems to get that you can’t sprint unless you’re fully recovered and rested. All you’re doing is running as fast as you can while fighting fatigue.
run forest run
But how can a forest run?
@@Jack-sp8nw doesn't matter he can run forever
Excellent.
I am healing from adrenal,and thyroid fatigue. It will take me a while to build up to sprinting. Plus my joints will,need to work up to that. So, it would be nice to know what you recommend as progressions, though obviously that will be whatever starts everything moving starting slow then working up to the fast.
I’m 53 now.
I was a great runner in school. Had some school records in the 440 and 600. Not exactly sprinting.

It had it 😁
Hated hill days when I ran track, but none of us could argue with the results. They were "nice" in that we only had a set distance we needed to travel (to the top) so we could go as hard as possible then take our time with a slow shag back down to the start. Looking back at it from a weightlifting perspective, it fits really well into the Lifting Set model which just confirms the strength benefits of the workout. That all said we balanced sprinting days with Tempo runs for sustained speed and distance days for VO2 max; looking back there was a lot of wisdom there that I'm only now rediscovering.
Hill Sprints are absolutely the best. All the best athletes in EVERY sport uses them.
Just did sprints again this morning. Best way to start the day.
This is great video, really love it!. I have one constructive tip if I may: while sprinting let your heels almost hit your buttocks, that way you know you made a perfect range of motion and maximize the lap time.
Informative and well put together as always. I dare you to do a video on the benefits of the Naruto run next.
Underrated for sure.
Great motivation brother, just about to go do some hill sprints
have you heard of the left AIC pattern? you should do a video on GAIT. proper walking and then progression into running then sprinting using BOTH HIPS and your full body
Maybe you'll talk next about running backwards benefits? Rocky Marciano used to do it
Just watching you run made me want to run. I'm trying to learn what i must do to love working out.

The intro felt like a fever dream that lasted an eternity. I look at the time and it's been 15 seconds
Can't go wrong with a Bioneer video in the morning!
Sprintint really is just mentzer high intensity training in motion. Sprint until u slow down, ie hit positive failure, and your muscles will have the signal to grow. Id say even one all out sprint to failure a week is enough to build growth. Its the perfect use of all the pegs musculature too
My man is a fan of Sonic Adventure. Great videos and tastes in video games.
Great video, glad I stumbled upon this. I added in sprints once per week recently but it has somehow ended up in a stomach injury.
