Training in the Hallways: Mangaging Shin Splints and Training Volumes

Posted by Latif Thomas



To make sure I crossed every ‘t’ and dotted every ‘i’ before launching my new Complete Program Design for Sprinters program, I asked coaches to answer the following:

What is your biggest question about training in the hallways?

I’ve received 318 responses so far and noted some clear patterns in what you asked. I took all the posts and grouped them into roughly 10 questions that covered a solid 80% of what I read.

I made an audio recording answering all the questions so far as they specifically applied to training on concrete hallways and gym floors.

Have a listen to my answers to the top 2 questions:

  1. How do you avoid/manage shin splints?
  2. How do you get all the volume in when you have such limited space to work?
