If you’re trying to improve your running performance—even if it’s just to get those miles over with more quickly—then you need to incorporate sprint workouts into your routine.
However you do it, sprint workouts are important because they“They help recruit and develop fast-twitch muscle fiber, build muscle, elevate heart rate, and increase calorie burn,” Corkum says.“Flirting with faster paces duringand other speed workouts will get you to faster results over time and help you break through,” Honerkamp says.Speedwork also works because it makes you uncomfortable, forcing you to change your breath, stride, and effort.
Adding in speedwork just one to two days a week can yield huge benefits—especially if you’re new to it. Try one of these four sprint workouts—two for beginners and two for advanced runners—and watch how quickly you pick up the pace.“I usually start runners new to speedwork with striders,” or short bursts of speed, Corkum says. “Speedwork is high stress, and so striders are a short taste of that stress. Like anything new to the body, diving into the deep end increases injury risk.
Finish with 4 to 6 x 20-second striders on a track, flat road, field at max effort, with 30- to 45-second recovery jogs.
