Welcome to a comprehensive presentation about the amazing fitness benefits of sprinting and how to conduct workouts correctly! 

While I have talked about the importance (and benefits) of sprinting for years on the podcast, a listener recently pointed out that I’ve never done a dedicated show on this subject, so in this episode, we’re going deep: You will learn about all the benefits, rationale, and science behind sprinting, as well as the practical application of how to integrate correctly designed sprint workouts into your fitness program. Unfortunately, despite its importance, this is an area of deficiency for many devoted fitness enthusiasts. However, as you will learn why in this show, we have a critical obligation to build our competency in this area, since sprinting is a key component to aging gracefully, longevity, health vitality, and peak performance, and it offers not just physical benefits, but also cognitive ones. 



TIMESTAMPS:

Sprinting is a key component of aging gracefully and promoting longevity, health, vitality, and peak performance at all lower levels of intensity. [00:48]

The hormonal signaling for going out and jogging or pedaling your bicycle for long distance is not directly correlated with dropping excess body fat. [04:00]

The hormonal benefits are there when you perform no impact or low impact sprints. Sprinting on flat ground is the harder workout. [09:47]

Once a week, once every seven to 10 days for a high impact running sprint is plenty, even for a very competent fitness enthusiast, let alone a novice. [11:00]

HIIT vs. HIRT is explained. Too many people participate in overly stressful exercises which do not help your long-term steady progression of fitness levels. [14:13]

The risk of injury skyrockets when you are asked to do a workout for which you are not capable. [17:12]

You want to be 100 percent rested and energized to deliver a peak performance effort every time you conduct a sprint workout. [20:26]

The proper techniques are available on Brad’s YouTube videos. They include maintaining a straight and elongates spine throughout the stride pattern, and maintaining a strong foot position. [23:16]

You burn energy better, you burn fat better, you store energy better from sprinting. [25:25]

Sprinting also helps you become more alert, more energized and more insulin sensitive.  It also boosts your testosterone status. [28:42]

There is research showing that sprinting makes you smarter! And you also upregulate an assortment of anti-inflammatory processes. [35:54]

The number one goal to promote long healthy, active, energetic life is maintaining strong muscle mass. [40:16]
