From Running Times
An article published just this summer in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning highlighted the importance of plyometrics for improving running economy. In this study, researchers had 35 distance runners, all running the same mileage, subscribe to either a dynamic weight training program or a plyometric exercise regimen. After eight weeks, it was found that the plyos were more effective in improving “energy cost of running,” or running economy, than the weight lifters. Another study showed that just six weeks of plymometrics led to improved running economy. Other research has identified a significant link between anaerobic power and 10K running performance and 5K running performance.
