Sprinting Workouts & Strength Training For Sprinters
Posted by Cody Bidlow on

When I was a young sprinter, I always had a tough time setting up my sprint training program. Here we will go over a week of sprinting workouts and strength training for sprinters so you can see one way that a week of workouts may be set up. Sprinting Workouts & Strength Training For Sprinters My goals right now are to improve rate of force development in my start, increasing strength to improve acceleration, and targeting ankle stiffness for both acceleration and maximal velocity sprinting. Also, in the past couple races I've run, I tended to break down and lose...

Improve Your Acceleration Sprinting & Skill Execution In Competition
Posted by Cody Bidlow on

Here we go over an acceleration sprinting workout, as well as discuss the concept of increasing the stimulus of your training sessions over time in an effort to stabilize movement skills under increasing amounts of stress. Sprint Straight To Sprint Fast One issue that I commonly see in my own sprinting and that of other athletes is that, as an athlete begins their sprint, they may have a tendency to deviate from a straight path of sprinting. If we leave the blocks and go to the right or to the left instead of sprinting directly toward the finish line, we...

How To Decide Which Sprinting Workouts To Do
Posted by Cody Bidlow on

Sprinting Workouts Sometimes it can be a challenge to decide which sprinting workouts you should perform. As 100m dash sprinters, we need to be competent with acceleration, maximal velocity sprinting, and speed endurance, all while staying strong and fit throughout the season. In this video, we go over a full sprinting workout as well as some ideas for how to best decide which workout is best for you. The 10 Day Training Cycle Approach One simple way to decide which sprint training workout you should do, is to first line out your top 3 training priorities. From there, set up...

Improve Your Acceleration Biomechanics | Sprinting Technique

Most of us understand that high performing sprinters do certain things differently than slower sprinters, but determining what it is that constitutes these differences can at times appear elusive. Once you identify the proper way to sprint, you must then go about implementing this proper technique into your sprint training program. Previously we’ve discussed how the best sprinters exhibit a hammer-like, whip from the hip action of the leg in their sprinting technique, which is especially visible from mid-acceleration and into upright sprinting. The idea is that by throwing the leg to the front side in a certain way, we...
