Most runners focus on endurance and strength training—but what if explosive power was the missing piece to better running?

In this milestone 400th episode of the Real Life Runners Podcast, we’re diving into plyometrics—a powerful training tool that can help you run faster, improve efficiency, and reduce injury risk.

Many runners assume plyos are just for sprinters or elite athletes, but the truth is, every runner can benefit from adding explosive movements into their training. Whether you want to improve stride power, reduce ground contact time, or stay injury-free as you age, plyometrics could be the key.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ What plyometrics are and why they matter for runners

✅ The science behind explosive movement and how it improves running efficiency

✅ How plyos can help runners over 40 maintain speed and strength

✅ The best beginner-friendly plyometric exercises for runners

✅ How to add plyos into your training safely and effectively

If you’ve ever felt like your stride was missing “pop” or struggled with slower ground contact times and injuries, this episode is for you! Learn how to train smarter, build power without burnout, and take your running to the next level.
