I’m in my 40s and I can still outsprint girls half my age.
Not luck. Not genetics. Training.
Here’s what actually keeps you fast as you get older:
🏃 Sprint - you don’t practise speed, you lose it
🏋️ Strength training - speed starts with force
🦵 Single-leg work - every sprint stride happens on one leg
💥 Plyometrics - teaches your body to produce force fast
🔥 Hamstring work - non-negotiable, first thing to go if you ignore it
Age isn’t the limit. Training is.
Save this if you needed the reminder, and send it to someone who thinks speed is a young person’s game.
