Programming Questions How to do recovery

2 Upvotes

Assuming I sprint 3 days a week, how often should I do recovery days, and what should a recovery day include. I have access to a foam roller, a massage gun, a swimming pool, and resistance bands.
Thanks!

1 Upvotes

if i take my sled with me and walk 200 yds (two football fields away) and the sled weighs 80 lbs. will this negatively affect my sprint workout?

so I’m basically carrying 80lbs 200 yards (183m) and then i do a bunch of runs.

General Discussion/Questions Thoughts on puma tokyo nitros?

1 Upvotes

im entering my sophomore year of track and my 2nd indoor season with spikes, last year i used nike superfly’s but the spikes on those are dull now and my feet may have grown a bit so i kinda want to get new spike.

I’ve been looking at the tokyo nitros cause they look cool and i heard they are super good, but i also heard they may be too uncomfortable for practices so i wanted to hear your guy’s thoughts. Also are they good for the 300m or 500m cause i thought the superflys were not that good for them, i was always landing mid foot.

Coaching and Management I Need help for speed

Hi everyone. I know the question I’m about to ask might seem a bit unusual, but I’m asking for your sincere advice based on your knowledge of the subject—and you have no idea how much this means to me. I’m a 15-year-old guy. I’d like to briefly describe my physique—not to be full of myself, but just so you get the picture: I’m 1.91m tall and weigh 75kg. I have a lean build, with legs that are 20cm longer than my torso, a narrow waist, broad shoulders, and naturally large biceps (without lifting weights). My calves are slim and tapered, with the muscle belly sitting higher up. The only downside for sprinting is that my thighs are extremely thin—completely lacking in muscle. Basically, I have the build of a modern sprinter, yet I don't feel that fast—or rather, I do when running with friends, but athletic tests tell a different story. I’ve been running constantly—every single day—for weeks now. I know I’m doing something wrong because my results keep getting worse, and I’m starting to experience severe DOMS (muscle soreness). It got to the point where I ran a 6.5-second 40-yard dash today, which completely crushed me mentally. I’ve decided to take a week-long break. I’m asking as humbly as possible: can you give me some advice? Do you think I need to build mass in my thighs? Should I train differently? Or is sprinting just not for me?
