SUPER PRACTICAL - March 2025
Quick, actionable steps from studies I shared this month.
Each item in the list has a link to the original newsletter with all the details and related research. Just click on the DO, MAYBE, or DON’T.
My top 3 from March
DO: Include skipping in your warm-up before hard running sessions. Replacing 5 minutes of warm-up with jump rope (2-4 times/wk) can improve running performance, jump ability, and foot mechanics in endurance runners.
MAYBE: Drink coffee as your preferred source of caffeine before key sessions and races. Coffee appeared to be more effective than energy drinks for performance benefits.
DON’T: Worry about gaining muscle when performing plyometrics. Some hypertrophy is possible, but the effect size is small.
