I was always taught to sprint before you lift, but I see alot of programs lifting in the morning and sprinting in the afternoon. Wouldn’t that not be the best? And if you sprint and lift, how long after sprinting should you wait to lift?
I have a couple questions, first in the summer when training max velocity should I use sprinting flats? Next I am just starting to get in college season as a sprinter and I am 5’9 175 and can squat 400 so I’m pretty strong, what are some of the best ways I can get faster? I didn’t know if doing drills to increase leg speed and Cns firing would be most beneficial like high knees as fast as I can and things working on leg speed. Lastly, I am relatively new, what are some tips and some things I should know for my form, and just in general for best speed. And while I’m season, what is the best things to do to get faster as we don’t do lifting?
I see everybody talking about not spiking up in the summer, but what about for someone relatively new and why can’t they just use sprinting flats for 30m flys or other max velocity sessions to still get faster? While I know they don’t let you hit your true top speed, you still have the max Intent to get faster and shoes built for it allow you to get close to your max times.
I am looking to become and strength and conditioning coach and this summer I got a internship at a division one school to work there. I have good knowledge in this field but wanted tips and some basic things I should know about how to program, what are the most inportant things for strength gains and athleticism, and any information that you guys think would be important that I should study like biomechanics.
