RUNNING - a must

Whether you run to train, or train to run, running is an absolute must for all athletes.

Why?

Mental Toughness
Fast Twitch
Cardiovascular
Explosive Power
Speed
Agility
Over Strength (emphasis on legs)

Concentration/focus

...and it's fun.

Remember, the benefits you gain will depend on the type of run you run (speed, tempo run, hill sprints etc.).
