frequently asked questions

⚡️ CAN I DO THIS SERIES IF I DON’T HAVE A TREADMILL & RUN OUTSIDE?

Absolutely! Many people follow the class outside and actually prefer it. Sprinting in the fresh air and open space can feel especially liberating and empowering! In the group I share tips on how to safely follow the class outside.

⚡️ CAN I TAKE THIS CLASS FROM A BIKE OR ELLIPTICAL?

Yes! You can sprint (pushing yourself to max effort for very short periods of time) from your bike or elliptical and reap many of the benefits without the high impact.

⚡️ CAN I DO THIS SERIES IF I’M NOT A “RUNNER”?

Whatever definition of “runner” you have in your head, the answer to this question is always yes. These classes are more about pushing out of our comfort zones and getting in that max zone for only 10-30 seconds at a time. I promise, sprinting is fun. You may actually finish the series and call yourself a “runner”.

⚡️ DO YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO GO SUPER FAST?

No, you just need to push yourself to YOUR max speed. No matter our fitness level, we all have a max speed that will get us in our anaerobic zone. What that looks like will be different for everyone but the benefits that come with doing that will be the same.

⚡️ IS THIS SERIES BENEFICIAL FOR ME IF I AM TRAINING FOR A RACE?

Absolutely! Sprints improve your running economy, your lactate threshold and your VO2 max! What the heck does that all mean? They improve your ability to hold a faster pace for a longer period of time without feeling fatigued. Sprinting has benefits to your running performance that you cannot get from slower paced running.

⚡️ WHAT IF I CAN’T ATTEND THE LIVE CLASSES?

All the classes are available to watch on replay if you are unable to attend the live class. All the classes are saved in the Guides section in the Facebook group as well as pinned to the featured section of the group.

⚡️ HOW LONG WILL I HAVE ACCESS OF THE CLASSES TO REPLAY?

Classes remain available for replay in the group for an extra week after the last week of the series. For series #5, classes will be available for replay until Sunday, December 29th.

⚡️ WHAT IF MY TREADMILL TAKES A LONG TIME TO BUILD UP & SLOW DOWN IN SPEED?

For each sprint, I add on an extra 25 seconds for you to gradually build up speed, so you can hit your target pace right at the start of the sprint interval.
