Using Pool Sessions to Sprint Ahead Canberra Running Coach, October 21, 2024January 7, 2025 At FAST Performance, we’re always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and our athletes are taking their training to the next level by incorporating cutting-edge pool sessions into their weekly routines. This innovative approach is helping our sprinters stay in peak condition, avoid injury, and build the strength they need to perform at their best. Elite sprinters know that success on the track isn’t just about how fast you run—it’s about how smart you train. Pool sessions provide a unique blend of recovery, resistance training, and injury prevention, which is why they’ve become a core part of the FAST Performance training program. Active Recovery: After intense sprint sessions, our athletes use the buoyancy of water to recover without stressing their joints and muscles, allowing for faster recovery and less downtime. Injury Prevention: Pool workouts allow athletes to train hard without the risk of impact-related injuries, keeping them healthy and ready to perform when it counts. Improved Endurance: Sprinting may be an anaerobic event, but a strong aerobic base is essential for optimal recovery between races. Our pool sessions build this endurance while keeping the body fresh. Strength & Resistance: The natural resistance of water makes every movement more challenging, enhancing strength and power—especially in the key sprinting muscles like the hamstrings, glutes, and calves. Core Stability: Pool sessions improve core strength and stability, giving our athletes the edge they need to maintain perfect form and power through every stride. Available for YOU: Train Like a Pro with FAST Performance This unique, high-performance training isn’t just reserved for our elite athletes—it’s available to you! If you’re looking to elevate your training and reach new levels of performance, now is the time to dive in.
