Great Plyometric article

Yawn.... I need a video clip !

Good article. I agree about the video and wish it would have included more than simply one or two samples per level.

It seems a bit cautious - adolescents should avoid high-intensity plyos? Adolescents include 18-year-olds, and you can handle anything in your teens. The three levels before any true plyo drills and waiting until level five to introduce bounding really seem too cautious.

Adolesence is before majurity, basically before puberty as completed.

There is a difference between kids jumping around and actual plyometrics.

Thanks for the article! Always like reading new articles about plyos.

There is difference between distance running and so-called plyometrics exercises. Just run baby. Stop pretending intelligent Alan.

The saying "Just run baby" has got to be the most annoying and idiotic running saying out there.

This dude's articles are always good.

No, it´s the most intelligent saying out there about training of a distance runner.

No, because it implies that all you do is go out the door for a run. No changes in pace, no specific work outs, etc.. While I think distance running does boil down to mile and time on your feet (you cant jump rope you way to a great marathon) it's not just about going running every day.

On a site like this, it does seem dumb. But for most people, this shows how there is no secret or special formula; you just have to work hard.

No, RUNNING WORKOUTS ARE RUNNING, moron. Just run baby. Besides you clearly concentrate too much to fancy sessions. Just run baby.
