## RUN
### Soft Landing
Our focus today on the runs is a soft, quick, and light landing. Especially since running is paired with box jumps and wallballs, a softer landing will help us be little more forgiving on our lower half. A soft landing reduces the impact on our joints and saves energy, which helps us run faster. There are several things we can think about to soften the blow
* Take more steps
* Shorten your stride
* Land on your mid-foot right underneath the hips
* Pull up, don’t push away
Athletes can pick the one that resonates the most with them. Reference the **daily video** for a demonstration of our running movement prep, which will help athlete practice a softer landing.

## BOX JUMPS
### Jump & Landing
We stay on theme with the soft landing as we move to the box jumps. This station can be easier to know if we are landing softly, as the box operates like a giant speaker. If we jump hard and land hard, the impact is here quite loudly. Instead of jumping hard and landing hard, let’s focus on jumping hard and landing softly. Use the legs as shock absorbers. Aggressive on the jump, controlled on the landing.
### Movement Prep
10 Box Step-ups (Lower Height)
5 Box Jumps (Lower Height)
3 Box Jumps (Workout Height)
## WALLBALLS
### Jump & Landing
On the wallball, we can also think about an aggressive jump and controlled landing. The hard jump gets the ball where it needs to go by using mostly hips and legs. Absorbing the weight into the squat instead of crashing into the squat allows athletes to maintain a better position going into the next rep. Just one rep that is slightly off on accuracy can make the next few reps a lot more difficult.

## WALLBALLS
* Looking to complete these in 1-3 quick sets
* **Set of 27**: 27, 15-12. 9-9-9
* **Set of 21**: 21, 12-9, 7-7-7
* **Set of 15**: 15, 8-7, 5-5-5
* **Set of 9**: 9, 5-4, 3-3-3
## BOX JUMPS
* Challenge yourself on the box jumps today
* There isn’t a huge difference between fast and slow cycling wallballs, but there is a big difference in fast and slow box jumps
* For example, just the difference between 3 seconds a jump vs. 5 seconds a jump over 72 reps is 2.5 minutes slower
* This doesn’t mean you have to rebound, just shoot for a quicker cycle time than usual
## RUN
* Adjust run pace to go big and fast on the inside movements
