Plyometrics

The track was a combo platter of workouts. Some people opted for shorter reps (400's). Our sub-group opted for 1,200's, 3 or 4 sets. Nice change. Hot as usual.

Here's an article about Plyometrics. I've started doing these after my short (3-4 mile) Friday runs. I do the skipping (10 reps) followed by standing broad jumps (5 reps), 8 to 10 sets of these. It doesn't take long, but is much harder than you think. It is important to find a relatively soft surface. Also look for a reasonably secluded location if you are self conscience about how people tend to react to a grown person skipping and jumping.

See everyone Sunday morning, 6:30 a.m.
