Sublime

The way I see it, your sport isn’t about running, it’s about starting and stopping. You need to focus on building the muscles necessary for starting and stopping. I laugh and tell him that might be the smartest thing I’ve ever heard anyone say about tennis.

every workout begins with a fast, powerful and dynamic (ballistic) bodyweight movement such as plyometric push-ups, kettlebell swings and box jumps. You focus on Speed of Movement which primes the body for the heavier lifts to follow.

Specialized training builds the wall. Meanwhile, training focused on long-term development of running economy through a balanced approach to training adds more bricks to the pile.
