Boost Your Running Performance with One Exercise!

Can you use a chair? Thanks.

Cool.

I guess that makes sense?

That's choice info bro! One other thing that improved my running performance a great deal was strengthening my core as it means I can keep my back straighter when running and not have my shoulders slump forward once I get a bit tired. This allows me to maintain better form, for longer

Would I see better results for running with single leg or double leg drop jumps?

I'm curious if the running program in these studies included any strides or hill sprints? If they were lacking, it explains why the treatment group that included any form of strengthening exercise at all (in this case plyometrics) had greater improvements.

👍

Got tricked, theres no morgan!

Summed up in 1 sentence: jump 6x from a box before your run aka warm up.
Best boost for people watching these kind of vids (like me) ... JUST DO IT
Don't watch videos about running, just go out and RUN.

I am very excited to have a go at this as it is so do able

Very interesting video.
Will add the exercises into my routine

Hey Brad, thanks for outlining these studies so well. I’ve added both drop jumps and box jumps into my strength regimen. For me the studies show that probably all / most plyometrics are important for improving running performance. It may be less important exactly which ones you do.

What does jump squats mean. Is it box jumps or normal squat jumps?

This looks like a great way to injure your knees.

Do you have to do these right before your run, or any time (still doing it 2x a week)? Thanks!
