Has anyone ever done the P90X program and ran? What program did you do? The Regular or Lean?

Also for the Plyometrics, how do you enter it on MFP? Under cardio?

    I'm not sure it this applies to everyone but I had weaken my ankle while doing P90X plyo because of all the jumping around. Then I ended up spraining it during marathon training. My orthopedic doctor did say she saw a lot of people come in with ankle and foot injuries because they weren't at the fit level of the exercises on P90. However, I did notice my running endurance was better after plyo. Double edge sword, I guess.

    I used to enter it under cardio as jump rope, moderate. Not sure how accurate that was...but you could always use a heart rate monitor to tell you the actual calories burned.
