10m Low-Heel Acceleration

Sets: 2Distance: 10 mRest: 1 minEst. duration: 14 sec

First sprint distance of the workout, prescribed for 10 meters performed near max effort. The entire progression consists of 2 rounds (10m, 20m, 30m) for 6 total sprints. Full recovery between sprints is recommended to feel close to 100% recovered (noted as 3 to 6 minutes).

Key points

  • Focus on the first few steps of the drive phase
  • Keep feet low to the ground to strike early and apply horizontal force
  • Maintain an elliptical foot motion rather than a circular cycle during initial ground contacts

20m Parallel Shin Drive

Sets: 2Distance: 20 mRest: 1 minEst. duration: 14 sec

Second sprint distance of the workout, prescribed for 20 meters across 2 total rounds. Focuses on sustaining the forward drive angle as foot mechanics transition from elliptical to circular.

Key points

  • Maintain a strong forward lean with shin angles parallel to the torso
  • Sustain forward orientation to prolong horizontal force application into the ground
  • Allow leg action to naturally shift toward circular cycling without breaking torso posture

Common mistakes

Rounding the back to force an artificial forward lean, or overstriding ahead of the center of gravity.

30m Posture Unfurling Repeats

Sets: 2Distance: 30 mRest: 1 minEst. duration: 13 sec

Third sprint distance of the workout, prescribed for 30 meters across 2 total rounds, concluding each round of the 10m-20m-30m ladder.

Key points

  • Keep eyes focused down toward the track to maintain acceleration posture
  • Unfurl the body gradually from the forward drive into upright posture without popping up suddenly
  • Deliver clean foot strikes under or slightly behind the center of mass

Common mistakes

Popping up prematurely from a forward drive angle to an upright stance rather than rising gradually.
