That should be no problem for you (Your Banty half time alone puts you at 27+ and that was a hilly half). <BR/><BR/>I only ever managed 12 of those squat jumps - I thought you might head for the upper end of the recommended 12 to 20.Grellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132757537248747078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-71431291880715270822008-06-21T13:01:00.000+01:002008-06-21T13:01:00.000+01:00I'm sure there's value in those exercises - with i...I'm sure there's value in those exercises - with improved leg strength and range of movement - maybe 10 minutes' worth.<BR/><BR/>I'll be interested to see how you go, in terms of recovery from the sessions, and the progression.<BR/><BR/>Changing running style is another adaptation - not an easy one for sure. I hope it all goes well.Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-56119598632582143492008-06-20T20:48:00.000+01:002008-06-20T20:48:00.000+01:00Sounds almost like Crossfit stuff, sick.

I look forward to reading this new chapter in your running experience, I believe you have a sub-3 in you just waiting to come out.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887866077099979177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-19331855085811264172008-06-20T19:36:00.000+01:002008-06-20T19:36:00.000+01:00Haven't really tried the squat jumps, but those si...Haven't really tried the squat jumps, but those single-leg box jumps are just plain cruel. Looking at the book and seeing how high he's jumping just adds insult to injury (or at least it adds insult to extreme hamstring soreness).<BR/><BR/>The "stability ball leg curl" had me rolling my legs of the ball while sending it rolling across the gym. He makes it look easy though.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573945547139938065noreply@blogger.com
