For sure. I think if you are an athlete and you are training you shouldn’t have that on your mind. No one knows their true potential and the goal of training is to push you barriers.
@@SimonShawk5 I think there are some ways to beat the genetic materials in us that is by training our mind along with the body .....training our neuromuscular system with manifestation and may be through medetation....what you think about it?
I think visualization, self-belief, and hard, smart work is a way to completely transform any aspect of your life. I can't say it would take someone from slow to elite but I can almost guarantee it would lead to better results than someone who lacks confidence and belief and doesn't visualize their success
2 of my favorite sprinting creators, awesome! I have a winter track season coming up, how would you structure the few weeks before the start as a 400m runner?
Thanks for watching! It's very tough to say without knowing your exact situation. If you haven't been training at all or have taken some time off, I would probably start with pretty low intensity stuff. Injury prevention is the number one goal and going from 0-100 will almost for sure get you hurt. So id start with some short acceleration work and a small volume of tempo and slowly build that week after week until real practices start If you have already been training, then it really depends on what training you've done so far. Sorry that this isn't more helpful, just really depends on the situation
Very informative podcast. Sadly there is not much informative stuff online focused on sprinting. So it’s very interesting to see some good quality inputs. Thank you for your work, keep it up! :)
Really interesting deep dive into training. There seems to be a lot of old school approaches that avoid speed work and short sprinting during the winter… is there any credit to this, specifically for short sprints?
Thanks a lot! Don't quote me on this, but my understanding is that the avoidance of speed during the winter is more so a result of the weather and an inability to run fast, as opposed to an intentional approach to programming Lots of people suggest having a certain time per year where you aren't doing maximal sprinting but that often comes at the end of the outdoor season. The reason for this is speed qualities generally start to detrain after 5 or so days, so if there's a competition anywhere close, it is best to sprint at least once per week if the weather permits it just to stay fast Other coaches could have other reasoning that I'm not aware of, but that's how I understand it
Great suggestion! I used to do an RPR routine before some of my training and competitions and I remember feeling pretty good afterward, I'll revisit that. Thanks!
Great videos as always, I was wondering How many times a week you think that someone like me, who is probably intermediate should be at the gym a week? I am currently having two training sessions on track and 3 in gym.
Depends a little bit on how well you recover. I vary between 2-3 days per week but I think realistically 2 is more than enough for most people. When you start getting into 3 I think you run the risk of interfering with the main thing, sprinting. Now, if that third session was just some upper body work or rehab-type stuff, I think that's totally fine. But probably don't want to do 3 really heavy or really explosive days, at least, I probably wouldn't suggest that based on my current understanding
I've been leaning in the direction of slowly building up very high quality sprint reps over further and further distances until 300s, 350s, 400s, 450s, and maybe the occasional 500 can be run at a high level. For example, a key workout might be 2 x 300m with 10-20 minutes rest, as opposed to 4-6 x 200m at closing 400m pace with 2 minutes rest Of course, you could absolutely have both of these workouts in a good, holistic program
@SimonShawk5 it's a fair idea but idk how sustainable that would be. kk would do 200s regularly and replacing that with 2-3 300s seems like a bit much. Do you completely understand the idea behind the 200 workout?
You wouldn't do the 300s year round, they would be toward the end of the year. So yeah I don't think they'd be sustainable all year round, that isn't the intention. There's a few ideas behind the 200s and I don't know them all. Most people end up saying that by the last 200 you are simulating the end of the 400. Or that 200s are building anaerobic capacity. And that certainly may be the case, and many successful athletes have undoubtedly found success through 200m repeats
@@SimonShawk5 I don't see your point. You're supposed to do a long progression with the 200s, starting in the fall. Obviously, you can't start ripping hard 300s every week in the fall. What is your point?
Is speed training just a wasted of time for people don't have sprint experience when they were younger? I have trained for 6 month and my speed is still the same. Only thing change is my leg size.
Not at all. The only people speed training is a waste of time for is people who don't enjoy it or don't want to get faster If people did a lot of sprinting and jumping and other athletic movements when they were younger, they'd definitely have a higher likelihood of getting very fast. That's why, like Cody talks about in the podcast, we can't compare our times to other people's. We can only really compare them to our own times and our own improvement over time If you trained for 6 months and didn't get any faster, it's quite likely that you either weren't training hard enough, or weren't recovering hard enough. So either, too little work at too low intensity or too much work too high intensity. Either that, or your training wasn't specific enough to speed, as in, you weren't sprinting enough
it's crazy to think the actual genetic ceiling for sprinting is insane, you can train for decades and never reach 10 flat
Absolutely. Can make it sad for us non-elites to think we may not ever be as fast as we want. But, it's part of what makes athletics so special
For sure. I think if you are an athlete and you are training you shouldn’t have that on your mind. No one knows their true potential and the goal of training is to push you barriers.

Kinda just how life works not really sprinting specific
Masterclass interview! The best Cody interview out there imo. You ask good questions and your are humble. Loved every second of it!
Thank you so much! You are too kind, I really appreciate it!
What an excellent video 👍 You guys are two of my favorite sprint-tubers it was cool to see this collaboration.
Thanks for the support! Super glad you enjoyed it
What an amazing collab!
Thanks for watching!
I hope you can do more of these, they’re very helpful!
I'm planning on it, glad you enjoyed!

I agree, it can be tough to find stuff on sprinting no doubt. Thanks for the kind words!
Yo you got Cody on! Hell yeah man.
Yessir! It was great having him on. Hope you enjoy the episode!
Such a cool video! Would love to see more like this!!
Dude let’s gooo!! I’ll definitely be watching this podcast! Get me on once you get big 😜
I found this podcast really helpful. Thank you for the great content!
That's awesome, thank you for watching!
Two of my favorites.
I didn’t realize you knew of Calvin Dietz, the rpr and correct extension patterns are what I like to use from him because I only do certain lifts
two of the best in the game 🔥🔥
Thanks for stopping by bro! Hope your training has been going well this year
God tier collab holy hell
Haha thanks for watching!

@ thank you for your response! Yes this is my thinking also - to run fast you’ve got to train fast. Makes sense!
Look into RPR for CNS before training/competition

Not much science, much anecdotal stuff and N=1 opinions and probably this or that. I didn't learn much, only got more skeptical.
It’s called the “art of coaching” based on science and experience. It’s clearly not n=1 as they both alluded to coaching other athletes and teams.
Induction doesn't work in sprinting or human performance in general.
