Interval Sprints

Why Do It?

Not all hunting is slow and steady. Flushing birds, chasing hounds, or making a final stalk often requires bursts of high output. Interval sprints increase your VO2 max and recovery speed.

Execution

1. Find a flat stretch or a hill (preferred for safety).
2. Warm up thoroughly with a light jog and dynamic stretches.
3. Sprint at 85-95% effort for the prescribed time.
4. Recover with a slow walk or complete rest.
5. Repeat for prescribed rounds.

Common Mistakes

• Starting too fast and burning out early.
• Not resting enough between intervals (garbage reps).
• Skipping the warm-up (recipe for hamstring pulls).
