After further sprinting, reading, and experimentation.
I have shifted my workouts to shorter duration, greater volume approach.
Sprints should be done in 10-20 yard explosions. In sets of 4-6.
50 yard+ sprints I believe These can only be done by the healthiest(youngest) of individuals-Highschool/college track runners.
4-6 20 yard sprints is much easier on the body with the same metabolic and hormonal signalling.
I was wondering why I was getting so fatigued after 2-3 50 yard sprints. While a single 100 yard sprint, gave me hives(for 10 days) and extreme fatigue, the stress is simply to great. I would also recall a very strong cortisol/adrenaline surge following a sprinting session.
Sprinting still remains the best form of weight loss from a physical point of view. It has never been about calories, but metabolism, insulin sensitivity, leptin sensitivity, stress hormones..etc.
Sprinting should be done 2-3 times per week, you would be shocked the effect it has on body composition that no amount "cutting fat to zero" will do. Plenty of studies show both muscle gain and fat loss following consistent sprinting, so don't go off scale.
Sprinting in such explosive short distances is anabolic and not catabolic in nature. Almost like a full body lift. These sprints take like 2-5 seconds to complete. Followed by a short session of breathing through the nose.
I also finish my workouts with plenty of protein/ gelatin and a blended mango+OJ smoothies and some pickles.
