GTC Run - Introduction to Plyometrics 15.03.21


Listen Later

A one-off session to introduce plyometric work to your training programme. Ideally this session should be completed close to a set of steps or a low wall or kerb.  A park with a short circuit, or out and back stretch is all that’s required for the run bit.
