Sprint Training
June 6th, 2008 Posted in knee rehab, trainingI do sprints. I want to be able to keep up with the curly girls, and sprints is my way of getting faster. Since my knee surgery (one year ago tomorrow), I don’t run on the treadmill any more (I’ll get back to it), so I do sprints on the elliptical. 5 sets. of 30-second sprints, at not-quite-maximal effort.
And today in the New York Times, I find this article: Sprints and Heart Health
It says that sprints are just as good as lots of long distance. I guess that makes my combination of long walks and twice-weekly sprints (not counting agility trials, which are a combination of both) pretty good for me.
