About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of sprint training for runners to improve their running economy and overall performance.

Running Economy is a term most runners know, what we have observed through the years that runners overcomplicate things to create improvement. We have found a model that works best for our athletes and it has to do with sprint training. The biomechanics that sprint training delivers will improve technique, form, and metabolic efficiency. This episode is a deep dive into why all runners need sprint training. Only buy what you need, use Think Fitness Life's trusted affiliates when the service/supplement is right for you.
