A two foot jump forward for distance that trains power and a controlled landing. Part of the plyometric progression for return to run.

How to do it

Start in an athletic stance with the arms back. Load the hips back, swing the arms and jump forward to full extension. Stick a soft two foot landing and hold it for 1 second, then reset before the next jump.

Common mistake

Chasing distance and stumbling on the landing. Shorten the jump until you can stick every landing.
