@CombatTherapist Training like an 800m athlete is a good way to work on both speed and endurance

LESS RUN CLUBS, More Sprint Clubs. Over the last couple of years, run clubs, marathons & long distance running has grown immensely. It makes sense. Low barrier to entry, almost anyone can get fit enough to at least finish a half marathon... But investing that time into sprint training is much higher ROI. Why? There's a reason why 90% of people can't sprint over the ages of 35.... it's more challenging, but it's a better marker for longevity. If you can sprint & jump, you likely have at least maintained and preserved fast twitch muscle fibers. You have less chronic pounding on your joints compared to marathon based running.... and you can simply cover your heart health / VO2 max with the assault bike or any other equipment that doesn't require miles & miles of on feet jogging. For those that want to be an athlete for life, if you can sprint into old age, it's likely you have a lot of physical fitness bases covered.

The unspoken competitive advantage: Daily training decisions. Every day coaches and practitioners will wrestle with: • How many reps • At what intensity • With what recovery • You see an athlete looks tired, what do you do? • When is the next workout or competition? With each choice, you move closer to or further from your north star. The speed, hybrid or endurance profile of the athlete can 180° change that decision. Choose wisely. 🔄 Urgently | Evolve | Persist | Succeed | Repeat

Thank you to Bishop McNamara cross country for having me and letting me speak to you all🙏🏾 best of luck this remaining cross country season. @UnderArmour @DistrictTC

Justin Fields is a perfect example of Mike Tomlin’s coaching philosophy. Pittsburgh is an organization in sync because of its head coach. We are seeing something similar in Green Bay with Malik Willis. Coach players and make them better!!!

🗣️ “I have a pretty big engine. I used to run cross country. I put a lot of mileage in, a lot of stuff like that. So when I dropped down to an 800, 1500 runner before, and then I dropped down to the 400 and worked on foot speed and a lot of jumps, I always had the strength.” You know what they say: Strength = speed 🤷‍♂️ After winning the 400m Olympic title, @QuincyHall400 shares that he actually used to be a cross country runner before dropping down to the middle distance events, and ultimately, the sprints. 🎥 Full press conference: youtu.be/ZbfQIX2JbZU

Pro tip for college athletes turning pro - Injury Prevention. 5 tips below👇🏾 1. Dynamic stretching before and static stretching after is important. Make sure to have a good warm up and cool down routines. 2. Use the correct shoes. Walk barefoot a lot that helps reduce bunions as well. I buy toe separators to help with mine. Your feet affects your whole body. Work ground up to reduces imbalance and posture problems. 3. Stay hydrated. When you’re dehydrated your body doesn’t get much electrolytes which can cause your muscles them to cramp or spasm. 4. Prioritize Recovery. See a chiropractor, physio, massage therapist regularly to help recovery. Other ways that can help speed up recovery - sauna, cold tub or contrast bath, red light therapy, hyperbaric chamber, PEMF therapy, dry needling. 5. Find a good trainer that assesses your body first and works on a program that’s specific to you. Unilateral work outs help imbalances. 6. Listen to your body. Less is more. Do not ignore pain or discomfort that may indicate an injury during practice. That last rep after feeling something might lead to an injury.
