Because of the intensity required for sprint workouts, efforts tend to be short (and powerful) with longer rest periods in between sets than other types of workout. To build power, sprint for 5 to 10 seconds with 20 to 30 seconds of rest in between sets. If you’re new to sprinting, consider starting out with two to three, then progress to five to six sets. You can continue to add on more sets as you build strength and stamina.
When sprinting, aim for an effort level of 90 percent: “Going all-out can lead to muscle failure, or you may fatigue too early to complete the workout”. If you’re new to sprinting, you may want to start at a slightly lower intensity (like 80 percent).
