For some time now, I’ve been considering what I would blog on here at EverydaySprinter.com. Should I focus on reviewing and promoting events? Should I focus on my journey? In other words, I’ve been struggling through how to be of value to those who might want to become a masters sprinter or to use sprinting and competition as their activity plan.
After giving some thought, I’m come upon what may be a personal but practical challenge which ends up sounding like this question:
How competitive can one be if they train approximately 30 minutes a day for 5 or 6 days a week?
30 minutes a day? Five or six days a week?
Come on BobbyG! Where do you get those numbers?
Actually, 30 minutes a day is the approximate recommendation of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. You can find their recommendations here.
So, there’s my premise: I can be a competitive sprinter while keeping my workouts to 30 minutes or less, eating a plant-based diet and using mostly bodyweight exercises for my strength and aerobic training.
Now all that remains is for me to actually do it.
What’re your thoughts? Have I set myself up for failure?
