P90X Day 65

Ploy metrics

Since I am hoping to get right into marathon training at the end of my 90 days I figure I need to start incorporating more running into my P90X, so I came up with what I'm calling my Plyo-Run workout. Here's how it goes:

1 mile warm up

5 x 400 m on track with 30 second plyometric jumps between each 400. Then a 400 m recovery walk after the fifth repeat.

Repeat 3 times

My original intent was to run the 400s at 1/2 mp (1:35), but that didn't last long. Looks like I should shoot more for mp (1:42). Doing those plyometric jumps is killer. I picked 12 of the jumps from the workout: squat reach jumps, run stance squat jumps, jump knee tucks, Mary Katherine's, leap frog squats, twist jump combos, lateral leap frog hops, monster truck tires, hot foot, squat jacks, jump shot, and football hero.

This is a killer workout. Total distance 5.5 miles

WOW!!!!

Okay ... get this: you have inspired me!!!

As I have been watching you these past several years stay incredibly fit

AND

As I have been going back and forth on what to do my doctoral project on

I HAVE DECIDED TO RESEARCH THIS QUESTION:

"Does plyometric training result in better running economy in long distance runners?"

I have already pulled several research articles and am getting super excited to really dig my heels into this one!!

YOU ROCK!!!! :) :) :)

Thanks Smooth, it was nice to find a way to blend my P90X and running.

Teena, very cool. I'll be excited to read what you find out. I got this workout idea from the Kenyan running coach. I guess it is a workout he has his runners do in the building phase before they get into the specific marathon phase. It was in a recent issue of Running Times.

I would also like to know the results.

Nice workout, Rhett!!!
