Huge advantage of Sprints

[revexrevex]

I just realized that one of the advantages of sprints over long distance cardio is that you don't need a lot of space. It just hit me yesterday that I can do it on my block, infact Im gona go sprint right now

Don't sprint on concrete. You will pay the price.

Another advantage is that it's just fun as hell. Its not boring and repetiative like jogging, your actually trying to do a max effort each time. You must push to be faster and stronger. I'm loving the new found world of sprinting.

I've noticed that since I have been doing sprints instead of long distance cardio, that my legs have a lot more spring to them, they just feel a whole hell of a lot better, any of you bro's notice anything similar?

Sprints give you much more than distance running. Back in the '70s everybody did them for leg size.

The important secret - run your sprints on grass.

Concrete will kill your ass.

Sprint in the grass. Better yet, find a sand volleyball court and do sprints there. Ouch....

Sand running is awesome but sooooooo hard to find.

If you dont have access to a proper track, go into the back yard, find 20 yards ( unless you live in a city you will have this ) of grass, two cones sprint back and forth 5 sets 20 sec 10 sets 10 20 sets 5, this was our lax conditioning almost everyday. Now that i think about it, you might want to double those, we did have over 2 hours of practice before doing those =)

SG, the key to sand volleyball (for those not near a beach) is apartment complexes. Sounds crazy, but they're almost always unlocked and unused. Kick off your shoes and haul ass!

What if there is no grass or sand nearby? Welcome to the urban New York! The only choices I have is the sidewalk or the treadmill

Sidewalk and some NewBalance with Abzorb insoles.

Wait, fire escapes abound! Sprint up! Walk down (yak). Sprint up! Etc...

I use to live five minutes away from the best sand hills in the world.

Don't sprint on concrete. You will pay the price.

My feet are a prime example of that, good advice.

I love living in Australia. I can sprint on sand sidewalks. Kangaroos provide a nice agility component to mix things up.
