Success in sprinting requires you to increase your lactate threshold. When you sprint there is a switch in the
muscles you use from slow twitch (type I) to short twitch (Type II) muscle fiber. The switch brings a change in
the way muscle fibers use the fuel and leads to an increase in lactic acid build-up (the familiar burn). The point
at which this switch happens is called your lactate threshold. The running in this workout is designed to help
you increase that so it happens at a slightly later stage than your ‘normal’.
To succeed you need to run at full blast, although you may end up feeling like your arms and legs are made
out of lead and are unresponsive, you just need to keep on going until your run time ends. That way you are
extending the point at which the burn kicks in. In the much shorter time of your sprint this means you are
extending your ability to sprint without feeling muscle fatigue kick in.
