I seem to be getting a ton of hits from search terms like “Plyo Cross Workouts” and “Plyometric Cyclocross.”

OK.

Clearly, this is something people are interested in.

I could write something on the topic (and I will…) but as a preface, if you’re at all thinking about doing some training of this type, you should read an article that my friend and BJJ training buddy John wrote on the subject –

I see a lot of people doing “Plyometric” workouts. I see people doing them correctly almost as often as I see a 3 legged dog.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t be doing plyometric workouts for cyclocross, but if you’re doing them, you need to understand what they are, how they work, and – above all – that they aren’t a cardio workout.

More on the topic later. Check out the link – it’s good stuff.
