Put simply - I haven't had a sprint finish in years. Last Tuesday, in the Summer Series 5k at Boathouse East, I was huffing and puffing along trying to drag in runners, and out of the blue sprinted the last 100m or so. Haven't done that in years.
So if you want to find your inner sprinter, even if only at the end of races, do some weight training.
