question regarding sprinting, yes, another one

[jeremys]

i've posted this question in my training journal thread, but i guess i'm not important enough for people to look at it lol..

anyways, i tried sprinting today, and i feel great. i can breathe easier and everything. my only concern is that since i'll be sprinting, wouldnt i be creating a caloric deficit? so that would hinder mass gains, no?

You will have to eat to accomodate your increased AMR that day, yes. Are you parents still starving you? LOL

 

[jeremys]

lol, i'm not starved...yet. i always find a way to get enough food. venison is the best. but i think i may have to get a job or something soon. thatd be scary.

well you'll be burning more calories, but its not like magic

yeah just eat more

 

[jeremys]

yeah i found myself feeling starved last night, even though i was eating a 50g/protein meal every 2-3 hours.

my obliques, inner thighs and inside front calves are sore. good stuff

 

[skaman607]

you should eat plenty of carbs too

I dont think you have to eat too many carbs. Dont carb load or any thing because youre sprinting and not distance running. Eat regual r amounts like 250-300 grams. And sprinting is not as much cardio as you think it is.

i hadnt sprinted in over a year, and i weighed about 50 pounds less the last time i did em. needless to say, i was out of breath the whole time. i could definately feel every rapid heartbeat for about half an hour. that's cardio enough for me

How many sprints did you do and what distance were they? Just curious.
