Why so many runners don't do them and how to fix that.New science and information have proven that they work for short distance, long-distance and endurance runners, cyclists and triathletes. The five basic form drills that I use in my warmups, workouts, and cooldowns. The all-important - WHEN to do them, and more!Example Form Drills & Plyometric Workout (Intermediate)WORKOUT: Do these 5 form drills and 2 plyometrics workouts with 2 sets for 10 secondsREST: Rest time 20-30 seconds or more (2-3 times the amount it took you to do them. Goal isn't to do them as fast as possible but with the most amount of energy and best form).STOP: Stop the workout if you can't finish a set or your form is sufferingDURATION: The workout shouldn't go longer than 10 minutes (for intermediates - see beginner and expert variations below)BEGINNER VARIATION: Just do 1 set of each (set will be about 5 minutes)EXPERT VARIATION: Experts can add another set, make the sets longer (15-2 seconds), add more exercises (same amount 2 sets), do these single-legged, or even do these all on a hill (the steeper the hill the harder the workout). This will take the set out to 15-20 minutesEpisode Quotes"The reason most runners don't do plyometrics and form drills is that it's just another thing, it's hard, they don't know-how. I'll show you" - Daren"These are a type of neuromuscular exercises that enhance the communication between your brain or legs. so that if you get tired in a race or workout you're better able to maintain proper running form" - Jason Fitzgerald"Lifting weights is one way to build strength.
