A Stair Step Approach to Improving Your Sprint

We look at how to identify your sprinting weaknesses by putting together a Sprint Profile. Then learn how to train each of the 3 parts with a stair step approach.

 "...putting together a fast sprint is more complex than training to ride 100 miles."

- Damian Ruse

The Topic

A high maximum and average power over 15 seconds does not equal a fast sprint. Even if you take this number and divide it by your weight to get a W/Kg number. This approach will only lead to disappointment. The issue is that the average power number you produce over 15 seconds does not account for the 3 distinct and trainable parts of a sprint. Each one adding momentum to the next.
