Sprint Question

[Alex9]

Just a quick question
I've been sent a training program and one of the days says to do 20x20m sprints on 30seconds.
Does this mean I do a sprint on every 30 seconds ie, 0, 30sec, 60sec, 90sec etc?

 

[BroughtonMid]

yes.
the faster you complete, the greater the recovery time.

 

[Alex9]

Thanks mate.
I guess it gives you more incentive to work harder.

Yep. I would recommend 1 minute though.

15-20 second 80 to 100m sprint then rest jog back for rest then repeat for a total of 10 times.

i've gotta start sprints again for soccer

i want to do longer sprints like 100m but also shorter sprints, should i do like 3x100, 3x50 and 3x20?

When do you ever sprint 100 metres in soccer?

 

[mcuzzy]

hmm maybe not sprint but i was still running pretty fast towards the end of it anyway

didn't you recommend them?

but yes, i agree. in any sport, let alone one such as soccer, the first few steps are the most critical so working on short sprints is critical

I assumed the OP wanted a HIIT program that would burn the most amount of calories, whereas mcuzzy is after sports specific sprinting.
