Pogo jumps are a great plyometric exercise that helps improve the stretch-shortening cycling in the calves and achilles. This essentially speeds up the rate of the muscle contraction, which you can then transfer to your running!

Pogo jumps are a double leg, vertical jumping exercise, which focuses on minimal ground contact. Place your hands on your hip and focus on getting as high off the ground as fast as possible. The contact with the ground should be quick and fast on the balls of your feet.

Think like a pogo stick!
