Hi John !!
Do you know which (if a) CF product covers a demonstration of the LLRR plyos? I would like to check if I’m doing it the same way.

Stef,
I haven’t seen them demonstrated but they are on the SPP template. I do them as alternating between 2 x single leg hops on left leg then 2 x single leg hops on right leg until the distance is covered.

I assume these are CF’s alternative to single leg hops for distance which he talked about in Aus as a recipe for disaster (esp if carrying a med ball as apparently some do :eek:)

MB …yikes :o
When you do them, do you go for height and distance at the same time, with legs cycling through, so it kinda looks like a triple jump? (I understand the leg sequence.
Once I arrive to Greece (Friday, yayyy), I’ll have my sister tape mine, so we can compare and comment.

took some vids of plyos which I’ll post in the next few days

although times dropped again slightly (which is pretty good considering I have got a high volume going and am just so super busy at work :rolleyes: ) I hurt my back. :o Possibly shouldn’t have raced but thought keeping it moving may help.

CF talks about the start being a pulse from the lower back, glutes and hammies…yeah he’s right! I tweaked my back doing a start while warming up about 25 mins before the 100m. I have quite short legs compared to my torso and had been feeling a bit cramped at 2/3 so moved both back a notch to see how it went…it went zang!!!

It was sore but seemed fine but I really hurt it while stretching, an agonising spasm that made it about 5x worse.

Have a break from racing now till 22 Jan.

I guess, the first race is a 200-m one :smiley:

What did you do during your break and before that start? Also, was the rest of your training OK afterwards?

have edited it to show 100m was first (I quoted from last week as template), warm up was as normal. The only change being the block change. Al I can think is that it placed my back in a weak position as soon as I went I felt it.

Between races I sit down till about 15 mins before the race when I do some relaxed drills and a couple of easy stride outs just to loosen up.

back still a bit tight but progressing very well and all good. Moved pushups to Monday so have Running A’s as lower depletion and pushups as upper with Tuesday off.

When are the Running As done? Also, before changing to this format, had you done the depletion push-ups relatively close to a race and how had that affected you, if at all? Thanks!

Running A’s done immediately after the plyos and all with walkback rec.

No last Thursday was the first time done them. How did I feel …hmmm fine. I think I know where you are going with this but not sure that is the cause, might be. I think what it was, was a bad position and not bracing / holding my breath.

Genuine questions, John! :slight_smile: I meant what day Running As are done. Push-ups on Monday now, Running As?

Yes I knew they were genuine questions, and appreciate the interest. I wondered if you thought the depletion pushups done for the first time last Thursday may have contributed to the back injury, which I doubt.

Running A’s always on Monday with a rest Tuesday and now added pushups.

Massage last night was real full on, back quite sore today but will be right. No squats tomorrow (Wed)
