The best resource for runners and running coaches
By CoachJay
This is a long-ish post. This post contains all of the information and links that I shared at a clinic presentation I gave at the University of Oklahoma in the fall of 2015. I was so lucky to spend time with the coaching staff and learn from them during my stay, which is one of the great things about being a track coach – you can always learn from your peers.

The idea that you would do plyometrics in the sand was foreign to me before Mike had athletes demonstrate these sand routines for our second DVD. The idea is simply that plyometrics, in the most simple terms, are any activity that has a quick coupling of eccentric and concentric contraction…which makes sprinting arguable the most intense plyometric activity a distance runner would ever undertake. Take a look at the Atacama routine.
We’re giving away 4 DVDs each week to people who write in questions on Runerspace’s Tuesday Tips so feel free to write in with a question if you want a DVD (you also have to sign up as a fan RunningDVDs)
