We are making a little portion of their brains be sprinters; they are 100 percent football players, but for these purposes, they must learn the proper way to run.

Many athletes are seeking new and novel ways of pushing their limits, and the challenge of running back-to-back races is certainly one way to test the boundaries.

I am a bit different from the other sprinters because, I would say, I can run many different ways while the other guys they just came on and they can only run one way.

I am basically turning football players into sprinters for a while. When we first talked about it, I didn't know how my expertise could be used.

I don't have a sprinter's body.

It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.

Humans are built for endurance, not speed. We're awful sprinters compared to every other animal. We try to run our races as if they were speed races, but they are not. They're endurance races. Even a marathon, the way it's run now, it's not an endurance contest.

We may train or peek for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport.

I think we have the approach that every race is a sprint. Some races are just longer sprints than others.

If you put me against most sprinters in the world, I reckon over a start I could get very close, if not take them.
