With Boston in just over 10 weeks it is time to start my plyometric build-up.

Plyo:

Alt. Leg Bounding: 2 x 5

CMJs: 2 x 5

Single Leg Jumps: 2 x 5

Box Jumps 12": 2 x 5

Nothing too strenuous with good recovery time between. Concentrated on good form and short contact time.

Better update your short term goals, Teena.

HI KAM!!!! :)

Wow ... so right! I'm on it. :)

Huzzah for the update!

I think the key for you making that 2014 goal is to pick your spots. Select 3-4 races, well-spaced through the year, and make them focal points.

Can I call you Doctor now?

Sweet plyometrics. You never posted where I can read your thesis on plyometrics. Where can I get me a copy?

And oh yeah, you are one smoking fast almost 40 year old. You are going to knock this year out of the park.

I was just thinking that you've been putting in mega miles lately and not much cross training/ST/swim/bike workouts like you used to. Then here you are, putting your plyo thesis to work! AWESOME job!!! :) :) :)

Can't wait to see you smash your 2014 goal! :)

Nice job on the plyo's. I was just thinking today how I need to start doing something in addition to the measly miles I'm running.

Looks like your planning to succeed.....nice miles this week....71 days till show time at The Boston. Go for it!

Rhett~ Oops, I guess I meant my 41st year! I'm already 40. :-(

Smooth~ I miss all my cross-training like mad! Sadly running is the quickest workout I know and I am very short on time right now. I am happy to at least be adding in the plyo. I'm trying to time it perfectly so I will peak just right!! Guess what? I had a candy bar yesterday that reminded me of you because I knew you would have loved it! It was dark chocolate with cacao nibs. SO DELICIOUS!! So you!! :)

Dale~ Plyos are definitely fun. Just have to be careful to not do too much too quickly to avoid injury! :)

Slick~ Back at you Coach! :)
