I will start in that routine right away, if I can get both legs to work at the same horse power my over all fitness, economy of running and resistance to injury are going to sky rocket. Thanks to both for answering and I am open to more suggestions that you might have.<br />GironaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775111454657693165.post-54559965114020871452011-01-10T09:48:40.686-07:002011-01-10T09:48:40.686-07:00The single leg jump rope is part drill part streng...The single leg jump rope is part drill part strength work. When you are doing them your foot plant is close to the ideal for running, mid to flat foot. Plus your upper body must remain perfectly balanced over your hips. The strength part comes from landing (absorbing your body weight) and then exploding back up for the next hop. If you do 10 hops you might not be impressed, but once your achilles and soleus have adapted and you build slowly up in to the 2-3:00 range it becomes quite difficult. Scott's 7:00 'goal' is what I have built to in the past. It is critical to start very conservative so the next day you don't have any soreness. Even small micro tears can develop in to full blown achilles tendonitis when you pile on running mileage around the jumps.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775111454657693165.post-36040544064388604312011-01-10T08:14:43.765-07:002011-01-10T08:14:43.765-07:00Hey Girona -

It's not much but the message is to gradually build up to around 7 minutes for each leg.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698749333112163049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775111454657693165.post-32768899432460033132011-01-10T07:20:41.598-07:002011-01-10T07:20:41.598-07:00Scott,
