SMART SPRINTING TIPS
1 – Start Slow and Easy:
Imagine when you started lifting weights, right? You didn’t go super heavy right away. Well, it’s the same with sprinting. Begin with a few short runs and slowly add more.
2 – Warm-Up, Super Important!:
Before you start running, warm up your body. Do some dynamic stretches, like Frankenstiens, Inchworms, high knees, butt kicks, etc.
3 – Run Fast, but Not Super, Super Fast:
Going about 80% of your fastest speed is perfect. You get most of the benefits, and a lot less injury risk.
4 – Start with a Running Start:
Begin with a little jog, then speed up. It can be a safer option that’s also easier on your joints.
5 – Take Your Time to Stop:
Give yourself space to slow down, like when you’re riding a bike and gradually put on the brakes. It’s kinder to your body 🙂
