Ensure that you where proper shoes that are build for running in.
Use these workouts at least once per week, no more than twice. The intensity
must be high and along with your regular combat skill training and other
workouts you do not want to lead to overtraining.
You must ensure that you warm up prior and stretch thoroughly after a
session. There will be sample warm up and stretch routines below
If you have never sprinted before or have not done so in a while, start off
slow by cutting the volume of sets in half and working up to full sets over a
few weeks.
You can use sprint interval as a your main workout if you a short on time.
You can include it in an overall training session as one of the components at
the beginning for example. You can use sprints as a finisher to your combat
skills training class or workout session.
Make sure you have adequate recovery time between sprint session
(often 48 hours in between)
Cycle your sprint training with on/off weeks. For example every 4-6 weeks
take a break and allow your body to recover from the HIIT workouts.
Ensure you go through ALL of the sprinting technique videos, sprint warm
up drills and stretch videos. Even if you are a high level athlete, if you are not
a sprinter than chances are you will learn how to run with proper technique.
Use the warm up drills that are provided to ensure that you are properly
prepared for the workout and reduce your chances of injuries.

Sprint Techniques
AND How To Sprint
Before you can sprint, it is important that you learn the proper techniques and how
to sprint correctly to increase your power and reduce the chances of injury
Take some time to read this awesome article and video by my friend, UFC Trainer
and MMA Conditioning coach Eric Wong on proper sprint techniques:
http://ericwongmma.com/sprint-training-technique-tips-for-max-speed-power/
In that article/video, youll get some amazing sprinting tips on form and more.
Dynamic Warm Up
Because sprinting produces force around the joints of the ankle, knee, hip and
shoulders, it is important to loosen these areas with a dynamic stretch routine.

Set 3-4 markers 10-15 yards apart using yard lines on a field, setting up cones on a
track, street poles on the road or anything else you can find.
Start a slow jog form the start to the first marker, the increase your speed to the
second marker and full on sprint to the third marker
Walk back to the start and immediately repeat 10 times
(NOTE: Make sure you use the time you walk back to recover)

This is a great drill that focuses on speed, fast twitch muscles, explosiveness and
agility. You can use a stopwatch to time yourself so you can beat it next time or you

Even though running on sand is easier on the joints and tendons you really have to
power through these sprints so you can develop your explosive fast twitch muscles
in the legs
2. Pop Up Sprints
(Acceleration, Speed, Explosive Power)
This is an acceleration drills are key when looking to increase your athletic
performance and explosion
Start on your knees and when you are ready pop up to your feet and start your
sprint. Make sure that you switch the lead foot you start your sprint with each round.
If you land on your left foot when you pop up, then on the next sprint use your right
foot.
3. Shuttle Runs
(Speed, Direction Change, Explosiveness)
This is a great exercise to train your quick change of direction which often happens
in combat sports.
Shuttles will improve your dynamic balance, power, speed and coordination.Make
sure that you plant and explode into the opposite direction while using short quick
steps in between
4. Broad Jumps
(Explosive Power, Leg Strength, Muscular Endurance)
This drill really helps to develop explosive leg power effectively and fast.
The squat you take before a broad jump allows you to stretch your muscles and thus
generate a more powerful muscle contraction when you jump.
Improves the reaction of fast-twitch muscle fibers throughout the body and your leg
and core muscles to contract very quickly so you can generate maximal force with
each jump
