Sprint
- Intermediate
- Home
- Cardio
- Hybrid race
A sprint warms up into a tall stance or a forward lean, then accelerates hard as you drive your knees and arms toward top speed. Running at full effort loads the quads, hamstrings and glutes through fast, high-impact strides. Intermediate exercisers use it at home or in a hybrid race, logged by distance as a finisher or a main effort.

How to
- Warm up thoroughly, then set up tall or in a lean.
- Accelerate hard, driving your knees and arms.
- Reach top speed with a tall posture and quick cadence.
- Run the planned distance at full effort, then recover.
Form cues
- Land each stride under your hips, not ahead.
- Keep your elbows bent near ninety degrees.
- Relax your jaw and shoulders at top speed.
Common mistakes
- Overstriding lands each foot too far ahead. Land your foot directly under your hips.
- Shoulders tense up and rise toward the ears. Keep your shoulders relaxed and driving straight back.
- Effort fades before reaching the finish. Hold your posture tall through the whole distance.
