@@capybarastealthy9099ake sure youre doing rotational and stress exercises on your joints as a warmup. Especially youre ankles, doing so will also warm up that area of the leg. They should be ready to do more work without being injered. Make sure you strech before bed in all areas that were used that day. Id reccomnd that when you wake up, (or if you dont have time in the mornings, you can do this after your daily commune.) do a WARM UP, not a strech, rotational and active movements for your hips, knees, ankles, and calves. Then go for how ever many miles that you feel okay with as a light run/jog/speed walk. Somthing to keep that area active everyday whether you run that day or not. If you get good with it, you can start going on a five mile walk/run everyday, getting in your 10,000 steps.
I need some advice I’m a 13 year old xc and track runner who want to do a marathon I have trained for this for about 2 months my longest run has been 30 miles I did that in about 4 hours and 20 minutes I took one break during the run for some ice cream but anyways do you think it’s safe if so what do you think my time should be just asking for a friend. Love your content and even follow you on Strava
I wouldn't run a marathon until my mid- late twenties if I were you. Until then, I would focus on shorter and faster events to hone your foot speed and anaerobic endurance
Is it true to be drop-landing off an 18" or 24" box, you should be able to squat double your body weight as conditioning for the drill? I.e. conditioning to reduce risk of injury on the knee from this plyometric exercise?
Hey bro, i recently started running and my best mile right now is 9 minutes. What's the fastest way to improve? Do i need to do slow runs? I really really want to improve my mile time.
As a beginner runner myself who has been doing 4-7 slow miles everyday, I have seen my miles times decrease without even putting an effort towards it. It just naturally happened! So I do think logging some slow miles might help! I also started without running a watch because it ended up being a mental barrier for me. On days that I forgot the watch I found myself running further without realizing until I checked my Strava at the end. So now I just leave the watch at home! Happy running man!
@@andrewhting Thank you for the advice! I’m definitely gonna start doing slower pace and longer distance more now. I find running slow to feel uncomfortable but I think that feeling goes away as your legs get stronger over time. I also need to stop checking the watch when I run.
@@musicbot101 just started running back in July. Was clocking in 12 minute miles and huffing and puffing. Slowed down the miles and just focused on good form and easy paced miles and I just finished a 5k back in September with 8:33 miles. So I’m really big on long and slow runs. They might be boring but they help a lot!
@@musicbot101 for me, the most uncomfortable part is always the first 15-30 minutes. After awhile a lot of my pain, such as minor shin splits, goes away for some odd reason. At that point my body just kinda enters autopilot and it feels like my legs just move themselves. Hope you can find some use out of my experience! Happy running man
@@reydiation1 that’s super inspiring! I started jogging about a month ago and started around the 12 min/mile mark as well but have worked my way down to 10/min without even really trying to run faster! I really hope to reach some 8 minute milers in the future too!! Great job 👍
How many days/weeks would you recommend between each progression? I've had jumpers knee, and want to build ressiliance as well ass agility in martial arts. Thanks for a great tutorial!
Plyometric exercise is designed to increase explosive and dynamic contraction in the muscles, most commonly trained in the legs. (Improved vertical, long jump, sprinting, etc)
@@jinfin221 Definitely not what he’s wearing. Minimalist shoes did help me recover from a foot injury and I ran in them for years and still run on my treadmill in Luna sandals. But there is absolutely no benefit going barefoot doing these plyometric workouts. Zero. Just an injury waiting to happen. Slamming your foot down and excessive dorsiflexion of the ankle he’s doing is just going to inflame the Achilles or break a bone in his foot or both. I would just wear shoes for whatever sport you play. Running shoes should work unless you’re doing a lot of lateral plyometric movements in which case you should use a cross trainer or court shoes maybe-something with good stability so you don’t roll your ankle
