For those of you who do windsprint workouts, how do you work them into your routine? Do you squeeze them in on a lifting day? Do you give them their own day? How often are you sprinting?
I'm want to peel off some extra pounds, which I know lifting and diet will handle alone, but I also like the idea of training my ability to get the fuck out of dodge if my life every depends on it. To me, it seems a no brainer that all-around fitness should include an advanced ability to scramble a few hundred yards when all hell breaks loose. They're also a challenging, fun way to mix up your routine. You feel like a real boss after you get done with that type of workout - your whole being just glows.
Currently, I work out every other day, which adds up to four days a week. I could use one of those days to sprint instead, but do you think one day a week of solid sprinting is enough for steady gains in speed and endurance?
On the other hand, throwing them in on days when I'm lifting might be a bit too taxing on my body right now, and I don't want to overdo it. I know I can take the punishment, but I'm not sure it's the best thing for me - it has been a damn long time since I've been anything close to serious about exercise, and while I'm getting somewhere, I've still got some catching up to do.
Feel free to discuss anything else regarding sprints here too.

Beyond All Seas
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
