Dynamic drills for better running form 💥
Save this reel and practice these drills to get a more dynamic running form!
1. Straight leg jumps:
This drill is perfect for improving your active footrest and reduce your ground contact time. If you want to transition to mid- or forefoot running this drill helps strengthening your feet and improves your power and therefore should be the basis for changing your running form.
Focus on:
🦘 energetic bounces - pull your toes up
🦘 push your waist forward and try to engage your core
🦘 start with 3x 15 jumps, focus on the right execution rather than on maximum repetitions
2. Single leg high knees:
This drill is perfect for developing a better running form and improving your knee drive.
⚡️ after the knee stroke focus on a straight downward movement without extending your knee
⚡️ the other leg is straight the whole time
⚡️ pay attention to an active footrest
⚡️ the tip of your foot should point slightly upwards
This drill is quite tricky in the beginning, but gets better with practice 💪🏼
3. High knee skips:
A great exercise to improve hip extension and leg strength.
🔥 avoid rotating your body, your shoulder girdle should remain stable.
🔥 focus on a dynamic push off
🔥 it’s important that you are already warmed up before doing this drill
🔥 start with small but technically clean skips
🔥 start with 3x 50m
4. Horizontal jumps:
This drill is great for improving overall leg strength and forward dynamics.
💥 focus on a strong hip extension, your back leg is straight
💥 your arms swing in opposite directions and ensure a highly dynamic movement
💥 start with 3x 30m
Have fun with these drills and let us know when you try them! 💪🏼
