Crossword Genius

Spirited sprinting (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dashing

This clue is a double definition.

'spirited' is the first definition.
('dashing' can be similar in meaning to 'spirited')

'sprinting' is the second definition.
('dash' can be a synonym of 'sprint')

(Other definitions for dashing that I've seen before include "Making haste" , "Swashbuckling" , "Striking" , "sprinter's talent?" , "sprinting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
