If you think it is "bullshitting" to sprint and jump at max capacity and understand that "mindset" cannot overcome physiology then I can't help you.

You have the "work until your dead" football coach mindset, which is 100% wrong in every way. https://twitter.com/thegreatgatzb/status/1262803429317136386

While it is GREAT for mental toughness, and fortitude, and pushing your own limits, it MAKES YOU SLOWER. Period. Better ways to do it (long duration isometrics, crosstraining for that effect, weightlighting). But nah bro you know it all, as usual.

To get faster you must sprint at your top speed. That's the only way. Speed is neurologic. It's not fully muscular, that's why gym rats are slow and sprinters are fast.

To say to someone, who's just getting back into it, that 15 minutes of sprints are rookie numbers is asinine.

Let's assume very AVERAGE male running speed at a 60 sec 400m (this is slow).

15 minutes of sprinting is 15 400m at that pace. Is that even REMOTELY healthy in a session for any sprinter? No. Not if your goal is to get faster.

If you wanna do it for mental toughness, fine. Call it that. I think there are better ways to do that, but I can see the benefit there.

But in terms of SPEED, and becoming a good sprinter, and staying healthy whilst doing that, QUALITY > QUANTITY.

A really good drill that encompasses this is the 23 second drill. Go to 200m start line at a track. Have friend run hand drop start and run as FAR as you can in 23 seconds.

Rest 5-8 minutes, repeat. Do 2-4 reps with full recovery. Shoot for output of DISTANCE (speed) not reps.

I can respect the fact that you keep it real, it was needed around these parts for awhile, but maybe consider the fact that you can be wrong sometimes. Being the constantly abrasive reply guy helps no one. I'm not gonna spout my pedigree or accomplishments or whatever because..

I don't need to. I let the worth of my ideas talk. Hoping this thread helps you and others go down the right path.
