Watch as Coach explains that any plyometric training should be specific to distance running improvement. All plyometric work should be done at full effort and the activities should resemble distance running. All drills must be done correctly and repeated the same way every time. Always start simple and work drills toward complexity and when form fails, it is time to quit.
