๐ฅ How Long Do Max Speed Gains Last? ๐ฅ
Speed is a โuse it or lose itโ skill! ๐โโ๏ธ๐จ After just 5-7 days without sprinting, max velocity performance starts to decline. If you go over 14 days without sprinting at full effort, your nervous system loses efficiency, and those hard-earned speed gains fade fast. ๐ฌ
To keep your top-end speed sharp:
โ
Sprint at least once a week at 90-95% intensity
โ
Stay consistent with max velocity drills
โ
Incorporate explosive plyometrics to maintain elastic strength
Want to stay fast year-round? Sprint weekly. Lift smart. Train with intent. ๐๐ฅ
