DO NOT commit these mistakes as a new sprinter. Always stay HAPPY AND HEALTHY folks!

I think sub-max speed running will be good for beginners to avoid injuries, but for those physically strong enough that's a waste of effort. The endurance ability for sprinters is not cardiovascular and lactic ones, but simply muscle strength which prevent speed loss when landing.

We should all take a lesson from a cheetah which doesn't work on endurance/sub max speed training. Heck, cheetah's can only run at top speed for 30 seconds after which they must take a breather and rest.

another thing animals don't do, is warm up. it's not like they are going to tell their prey "hey wait a minute, I need to warm up first". It's a combination of adrenaline and if you watch the way their muscles tremble before they pounce, that's the pre-run activation.

@@TrackHead03 Even a domestic cat can run around 30 MPH. That's faster than Usain Bolt's top speed.

@@stevespyder The irony is the ones I've personally observed doing the most static stretching tend to get injured the most frequently. I rarely do static stretching. I opt for having my body go through the same motions, only at a slower pace. Say for example, before running a 100 meter sprint, I run about 50% top speed for 20 meters followed by 50 meters. Then I run 50 meters at around 80% of my top speed. This is usually enough to get my muscles heated up and activated. So going back to the analogy, while predators may be warming up while slowly running towards and stalking their prey before pursuing them at top speed, they sure aren't doing any static stretching. Another thing I should mention is from youth on up into my early twenties, I never had to warm up and never once did I get a serious leg injury. Heck, I never sprained my ankle once in my entire life. As I've grown older, I've noticed my joints aren't as bouncy as they were when I was younger so I do the warmups I've mentioned previously just in case.

We can only run at top speed for around 3 seconds so honestly 30 is impressive

In many sports, there are lots of old school trainers with about zero knowledge in physiology who are convinced that they're doing the right thing, just because they have been doing it for 20 years.

facts bro. lot of em too prideful bout their knowledge too that they just refuse to believe their ways are outdated. Not generalizing em but its A LOT

Feed the cats, it's all about improving your top speed, which increases your sub-max velocity. That is for sprinters. 800m and longer, then you start adding speed endurance.

You need both training and genetics to be top tier, that's true. But to be good but not competitive its training

Most coaches do this because most people who do track don’t take it as their main sport. Ppl from football, basketball, soccer, etc take it as a conditioning sport
