  535: Cody Bidlow on Simplicity, Speed, and the True Nature of Sprint Training

  Oct 1, 2026—

  Cody discusses how his sprint training has evolved toward a simpler, more dynamic, and intuitive approach. He explores the role of tempo running as both aerobic work and a high-volume elastic stimulus, building lower-leg capacity and preparing the body for faster sprinting. Cody also shares thoughts on flexible warm-ups, training around real-life constraints, general-to-specific strength development, resisted and loaded sprinting, and why experimentation and self-awareness can be powerful tools for long-term speed development.

Joel also shares his perspective on long-term development and creating training environments that encourage exploration and problem-solving.
