Here’s why sprinting is different from running
While both running and sprinting are vigorous-intensity exercises that make use of the same muscle groups, the difference lies in speed. Sprinting is a more powerful, faster form of running which is only to be performed in short spurts.
The biggest difference between running and sprinting is driving the knees up high with toes pulled up to increase one’s stride length resulting in a faster speed, according to worldmarathons.com. Additionally, landing on the forefoot during sprinting reduces an eccentric brake (slowing down) at contact and ultimately helps you to propel forward faster, it read.
Here’s why sprinting is beneficial for you
