If you aren’t sprinting you’re leaving strength gains on the table.

You should be sprinting at max velocity twice a week. Do it fresh, in spikes, on a track. Any rep more than 5 seconds is working on something other than speed. If you do more than 3 reps you’re also working on something else.

What about it is bad advice? I’m talking about speed training, not wind sprints

sprinting is definitely a good thing to implement into strength training but you’re saying that people should sprint for a total of 30 seconds a week which will not do anything

The goal is to elevate max velocity, that involves really low doses of short sprints. If want sources look up Les Spellman, Tony Holler or Brian Kula. Even Steve Magness (distance guy) agrees this is the way to build max velocity.
