this feeling means everything to me.Through every high and every low, every path I’ve gone down, running was always my first passion. There’s something about sprinting that makes me feel completely alive. Pure happiness.And even though this sport has also brought heartbreak, setbacks, surgeries and chronic injuries… there’s still something so special about getting back up and chasing the thing that makes you feel like this.No matter how hard it gets. No matter how impossible it may seem to you or other people. If you truly love something, why would you ever stop?Every setback comes with a lesson, and every lesson is another step forward 🤍 by @desijohnsonn

Building & progressing. Warm ups are non-negotiable. I combine mine with mobility, drills and activation work to prepare my body and reduce injury risk.Today’s session has some eccentric exercises. Slow on the way down, explosive on the way up — squats, B-stance RDLs and weighted chin ups.Eccentric training builds strength, muscle control and tendon resilience. For sprint athletes it’s especially important, strong eccentric hamstrings reduce injury risk and improve performance on the track.Slowing movements down and controlling positions is where real progression happens.Drop a comment if you want to know more about any of the exercises ⬇️Wearing @oneractive • MINKY • ENHANCELIFT • SCode ‘DESI’ to save 🤍#athletetraining #sprinttraining #strengthtraining #eccentrictraining #plyometrictraining gymroutine by @desijohnsonn

Cardio has its place.Speed endurance can be developed in a lot of different ways. For me, I’ve had to take myself away from the track at times because of ongoing chronic foot injuries. But one thing I’ve learned is that working around your body to still achieve your goals is possible. Adaptation is part of high performance.That’s where gym-based conditioning has become so important for me. Implementing cardio strategically allows me to maintain my speed endurance while reducing the repeated impact and load that sprinting on the track places on my feet.The ski erg, assault bike and treadmill/curve treadmill are all tools I use differently:• Ski erg — great for full-body conditioning and pushing aerobic capacity without impact• Assault bike — builds power endurance and teaches you to tolerate high-intensity fatigue• Treadmill/curve treadmill — allows controlled sprint efforts and speed endurance work with more management over load and volumeSometimes high performance isn’t about doing everything the traditional way. It’s about finding ways to keep progressing while keeping your body healthy enough to continue showing up.Outfit is from @oneractive (c0de DESI) - Airmove shorts - Unified Micro bralette in powered orange #athletetraining #cardiogym #speedendurance by @desijohnsonn

How to progress seated straight leg box jumps ⚡️Plyometrics are so important for speed, explosiveness and athletic performance, but progression matters. A lot. You can’t just jump into advanced movements and expect your body to adapt without increasing injury risk. Building reactive strength and stiffness takes time, patience and consistency.A few ways I like to progress into seated straight leg box jumps:• warm up properly • start with normal standing box jumps • progress into seated jumps without a box first • slowly increase height over time • add in exercises like squat jumps + band resisted squat jumps to build reactive power off the ground There are progression options with every exercise you do. Master the basics first, then build!✨Wearing @oneractive new collection - c0de DESI to save ✨#trainingploymetrics #coaching #athletetraining by @desijohnsonn
