BBRunManAs we reach peak training load / taper initiation mileage is high, the load on the system is high & some fatigue is normal. The purpose of this workout is to restore a light & springy quality to gait. The plyometric focus here is on quickness & agility. A different form of plyometrics can be used for power & strength, but that is best done after a base strength has been established and no major events are on the near horizon.

Today’s Workout Goal: agility, quick & light movement, spring in the legs. Be sure to recover fully from each exercise before starting then next one. If you just do a few reps and then stop, rest & recover, that is fine.
