Marco Airale has been one of the fastest-rising elite sprint coaches of the past five years — and one of the youngest — guiding athletes like Reece Prescod, Andre De Grasse, Daryll Neita, Amy Hunt and others to fast times and global medals. With a background in physiotherapy and osteopathy, Marco blends therapy and coaching to maximise performance and keep athletes healthy. 

In this conversation, we discuss:

• Balancing step length and step frequency for each athlete
• Using intensive tempo to build fitness and resilience
• Managing training load and recovery across the season
• The role of warm-ups in preparing sprinters for peak performance
• Coaching sprinters, hurdlers, and relay athletes at the elite level
• Building and leading an international training group in Italy
• Preparing athletes for multiple rounds at major championships
