wind sprint
Short training dash
A wind sprint is a short burst of running at maximum speed, used in athletic training to build explosive power and cardiovascular conditioning.
Athletes typically run a set distance—often 40 to 100 yards—rest briefly, then repeat.
The name evokes sprinting so fast you create wind.
Coach had us running wind sprints until we could barely stand.
