Sprinting Training Structure
This is a summary of my sprinting training structure as a speed- and power-based athlete.
I begin with low-intensity aerobic work to increase heart rate and promote blood flow, followed by mobility and dynamic drills to improve range of motion and movement quality. Sprint technique drills and submaximal strides are then used to gradually increase intensity and prime the muscles and nervous system for higher speeds.
The session finishes with maximal-effort sprints, focusing on high-quality work near top speed. Total volume is kept relatively low, and the session ends as soon as performance begins to drop.
The priority is always quality, efficiency, and intent—never just accumulating fatigue.
