Would you recommend this for long distance runners?

[@nickleyden]

While power development for the lower body and ankles can improve tendon energy transfer with each step you take and this method could help improve your force production and power output which is very important you may be better of taking standard approach to developing those qualities. If I was to recommend any of the 5 it would be to implement traditional contrast training.

You would do one set of strength and then immediately into on set of plyos like a super set
