Resisted Sprint Methods: Choosing the Right Option

One of the most common questions I get from coaches and athletes is how should they incorporated resisted work into their sprinting sessions. There are a lot of options to choose from and knowing which method is the best for you may depend on a number of factors.

In this video, we review some of the more common methods of adding resistance to a sprint workout. In almost all cases, the purpose is to add load in order to effect both a physiological effect (improved strength and power) and a technical improvement (optimized acceleration posture). The key is to not get too far away from the desired goal, which is to ultimately accelerate and sprint faster.

We cover all of these concepts in greater detail in my RunningMechanics.com course series - offered in both virtual and in-person mediums.
