Unlocking plyometrics for endurance athletes * Joe Otton

Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast

Have you ever wondered if plyometrics could boost your performance as a triathlete or distance runner? On today’s episode, we’re jumping into the world of plyometric training (see what I did there?) — what it is, why it matters, and how it can take your endurance game to the next level.

Joining me today is strength and fitness coach Joe Otton, founder of Gym Geek, a sports science and personal training facility in Weymouth. With a BSc in Strength & Conditioning and extensive experience working with athletes across various disciplines, Joe is the perfect guide to help us navigate this topic.

We explore:

• The different types of plyometric exercises for both the upper and lower body
• Why endurance athletes should incorporate plyos into their routine
• The importance of tracking "foot contacts" to measure training volume
• How to determine the right amount of plyometric work for your training schedule

Don’t miss this episode if you’re looking to enhance your strength, power, and overall performance as an endurance athlete!
