I can only use my sled at home but I live on a hill and there’s no flat ground. Only a somewhat straighter 20-30 meter bit that is still very bumpy and uneven. Not allowed to use road. Does this look too bumpy that it will be useless and completely mess up form or is it fine?

How do you structure and make your workouts? Do you have everything exactly planned? How do you progressive overload?

Does anybody have a good set of plyometrics that works for them? I can’t really find anything that everybody says is good (everybody says do something different) so I’m not sure where to start with plyometrics. Thanks!

How is this even possible?

for the past 3 months ive had this schedule:

monday: top speed tuesday: weights wednesday: rest thursday: top speed friday: weights saturday: rest sunday: rest

as I get closer to winter season, should I switch it up? I've had no improvement for a while. Maybe add another sprinting day? any advice?

Just a bit curious when you like to train. Do you like to train in the morning, afternoon or evening etc?

I want to prepare for a sprinting competition in my college that's 5 months from now. I just wanted to see if I can sprint like I used to back in school, while also looking to trim down my belly fat faster. These are the weekly routines I have in mind :

M - Rest T - Acceleration & Speed ( 40 - 50 min. ) W - Full body workout ( 45-50 min. ) Th - Rest F - Rest Sa - Speed Endurance ( 40 -50 min. ) S - Full Body

or

M - Rest T - Acceleration & Speed + Lower Body ( 70 - 90 min. ) W - Upper body + Core Th - Rest F - Rest Sa - Speed Endurance + Lower body ( 70 - 90 min. ) S - Upper + Core

I'd like to prevent any injuries. I'm worried if working out my legs just the next day after track is a bad idea and if it could lead to injuries if done weeks after weeks. But also I'm not sure if my leg workout will be that effective after track session. Also I'm busy with studies so I'd like to avoid increasing my overall weekly training time by a lot, which is also why I keep my training sessions intense. What would you advice? And what is your weekly routine like?

I live in Seattle, Washington, and in the winter time its always constantly raining, and to add to that cold, its just plain miserable in the winter. To add to that it can become a safety hazard to run on wet turf in the winter, i would imagine. During the summer time, I often went to the outdoor track to do my sprints.

I am mainly training for football which requires mostly 40,60,80, and sometimes 100 yard sprints.

I have a local LA fitness gym I go to, and they have a regular hardwood basketball court inside there. Sometimes I use the basketball court to do half court sprints. That would be approximately 15 meter sprints. Something to work on acceleration. I know its not as long as a football field but I have to work with what I got. This is what I usually do in the winter off season since its cold and rainy out side.

I am wondering if hardwood basketball courts are safe on the joints and knees? I know cement or concrete is definitely the worst, and I always hear grass/turf or track is the ideal surface but I haven't heard much about hardwood basketball courts. I know its safe to sprint on a basketball court, but my question is geared more towards longevity, like if I do these weekly on the hardwood is it safe long term.

anyone can comment?

Hello. I know I’ve already made a post similar to this but the new stndards for 2025 CA Winter Championships have been posted and am really looking to qualify in 60m and 150m. The new standard is 7.44 instead of 7.54. Is this possible with a PR of 11.68/100m (June 2024) and 24.20 (March 2024)?

I run for little athletics under 12s in Sydney. Recently, the relay teams have been announced, and we’ve come up with 1 CIS 4th place, 1 state finalist, 1 national record holder and 1 CIS top 20 finisher.

Here’s the team:

Lachlan Chapel, 11 (100m PB: 12.01) 100m National Record

Albert Job, 12 (100m PB: 12.36) State Finalist

Sebastian Drower, 12 (100m PB: 12.5) 4th place CIS, Relay state finalist

Charles Carano, 12 (100m PB: 13.31) Top 20th CIS

If you recognise the name Lachlan Chapel and say “Wait, isn’t he 11 years old and not turning 12 this year?” Correct, he isn’t, he was brought up an age group because he was too fast for under 11s and now he’s gonna cook everyone in under 12s. I can’t tell if this team has synergy yet because we have not done training sessions (our first one is on Monday, 11th Nov) ,but I have high hopes.

I can only sprint in a very bumpy, uneven grass place in my backyard. Very bumpy and nowhere flat. How much will this negatively impact my sprinting form and future progress?

I have a kinda tight budget and can’t go to gym so I have to get creative. Just created the best thing I have ever made. Got an old used rusty tire in our yard and some other small things around the house and made a sprinting sled. I thought it wouldn’t work well at first, but it is smooth as glass even on bumpy grass. Sprinted with it and it works perfectly, and I felt so fast and bouncy after. Definitely going to be a staple in my workouts from now on.

Should I still sprint? It’s getting cold. Also any tracks near Islington? Should I be sprinting or will it be ok to replace with boxing?

I sprint because I like the feeling of being explosive. I’m not racing or anything.

What do you think about while running? Do you focus on technique? Nothing? Or do you imagine that you are in a critical situation. Like Strong man Eddie Hall did to deadlift 500kg (he imagined that he was lifting a car of off his kids). If we apply this to sprinting you might imagine someone defenseless being attacked and you have to get there as quickly as you can. Or running away from a bear for is a great example too. Do you think this psychological "trick" to get the most out of your body works?

Last year I ran 43 in the 300meter indoor and I have improved many metrics since then. For example my 40 yard dash has went from a 5.5 to a 4.8 and my 100m has gone from a 12.5 to an 11.5 using Jawku which is basically FAT timed. Right now I’m working on my speed endurance acceleration and top speed what do you think I could run?

I'm a 13 yr old female and last year (school year) I ran a 1min 300m for sports day (I know it's not the best but I never ran before + I got my time from 1min 20 down to 1min in 2 weeks.) but ever since than I've just been grinding physically but mostly doing long distance running. I've set a new goal for myself which is to beat the school record for girls 300ms (45.39) I've got all the way until July but I have to balance school and everything else. Any tips for training and what I should do and whether it is possible?

im untrained around bodyfat 20% rn and run 13s 100m, if I cut down to 10% over 4 months and train for lower body strength and combine it with plyos and sprint sessions where could I potentially be in 6 months?

I had practice today and we were doing 3 point starts, my coach said that when im accelerating on my first and second steps my foot rotates 60 degrees outward. I was wondering if this is like due to weakness, technique or if i shouldn't really worry about it
