FBB Persist Sprintaddon
W E E K 1 - D A Y 1
This program is written as two separate days that compliment each other in order to
build up your ability to sprint and to increase your speed of sprinting over the course
of the 12-week progression.
Below you will find a few benefits of adding in sprinting, items to be aware of before
starting, how to integrate this program into your normal training, and an overview of the
progression.
Sprinting has several of the same benefits as resistance training like increasing bone mineral
density, increasing muscle mass, and improving cardiovascular health, but one of the
greatest benefits of sprinting is being able to sprint - sounds silly I know, but hear me out. I
am sure you know an individual that has pulled a hamstring, torn an achilles, or torn an ACL
playing in a pickup sports game or running after an object. Some of these individuals are
very fit, but their body was not prepared for the type of stresses and forces that occurred
Sprinting can be challenging or scary because of the risk of injuries for some individuals. To
account for this the program starts off with a 3 week building phase to help your body adapt
to running. After these initial few weeks, the intensity remains sub-maximal to assure you are
getting majority of the benefits of sprinting without risking injury. As the program
progresses, always feel free to leave a little more gas in the tank in order to stay on the safe
side. That being said, half way through the program your body will have a good foundation
of running and will be prepared to increase the intensity and speed.
Remember that running and sprinting are different goals - this can be seen in the body type
difference of elite distant runners versus elite sprinters. Sprinting is more similar to heavy
squatting or deadlifting than it is to running. Knowing this is important for the progression.
The outputs should be high (once your body is prepared). We are not trying to fatigue and
tire out your body during these workouts. We are trying to improve the skill of sprinting
alongside with increasing your body's ability to produce more force into the ground and
therefore increase your speed of running.
The 12 week progression on this day will start with the 3 weeks of running volume as
mentioned above to get the body used to running. The next 2 weeks will focus on hill or sled
sprints. These options force you to go a bit slower and limit the risk of injury. In the
remaining 7 weeks you will use different sprint variations to get more comfortable with
accelerating and maintaining top speed during running.
The plyometrics that start each session are built in to fully warmup and prime the body for
the sprint work to follow. Plyometrics are great for improving force production and rate of
force production, two fitness characteristics that are highly transferable to sprinting. You will
see a wide variety of jumps that progressively build in total volume. In addition to the run
volume these plyometrics will be beneficial to help your body prepare for the sprinting in
the later weeks of the progression.
95% of individuals over the age of 35 will never sprint again in their life. Don't be a part of the
statistic.

he second training day of this sprint program will focus on complimenting the first day. It
include some specific work for the muscles involved in running and some change of
direction drills to build a more broad range of resilience in a variety of different athletic
settings.
The first 3 weeks of the program are focused on hitting some of the areas that are commonly
injured in sprinting including the hamstrings, adductors, and calves. To better set up you up
for the sprinting in the second half of the program we want to build up your strength in the
first half of this progression. Weeks 4-6 will focus on sled pushes to build more specific
strength in the positions and postures that are found in sprinting. Weeks 7-12 alternate
between sprint conditioning and the pro agility. The sprint conditioning will increase your
cardiovascular ability and continue to help your body adapt to more running volume. The
pro agility includes some multidirectional running that improves your resilience in a wide
variety of athletic settings.
In weeks 4-12 the progression of the hamstrings, adductors, and calves continues on to
assure these areas are staying strong.
The plyometrics on this day, focus on single leg and side to side jumping. You will see a lot
of same variations to get really comfortable with some of these higher skill jump variations.
The reason for the different jump variations (similar to the pro agility) is to increase your
resilience in a broad range of athletic environments, decreasing your risk of injury and
improving your well rounded-ness as an athlete.
