no harm in them..... i dont think so at least..... thats why you should do your continuous distance runs on yoru own, and do the plyometrics and fast stuff with your coach

the only drawback i see is if you miss your step.... hehe,

ooh, like agility drills? well those have nothing to do with your trainingI(as far as agility goes), well actually it depends on how explosive the drills are.... plyometric greatly help your speed!! ...... but the bleachers do help

A great way to work on your quads would be to hop on your bike, and find some long, gradually sloping hills. Biking will also greatly help with your lungs and diaphragm. If you did any training up in the anaerobic levels (75-85% heart rate and above depending on your conditioning) in cross country, try to replicate those workouts when you reach a couple weeks before your season starts. In the off season, you should be mainly working on your endurance. With your goals, plan on being able to run 4 miles or biking 8 miles at a fairly good clip, and then doing one ***** to the wall 400-600 meter sprint.

This was the backbone of my routine last season.

17:54 5k

5:11 1-mile

2:08 800

54 400
