Running Form Drills

Running / Popular

Practice A-skips, B-skips, and high knees to ingrain technique.

What coaches agree on

  • Running drills exaggerate the movement you want in your stride, such as a higher knee or a bigger arm swing, because it's that exaggeration that trains the pattern into your actual running.
  • Hold a tall, aligned posture through every drill, ears over shoulders over hips over ankles, rather than bending forward at the waist.

  • Keep each drill short, about 20 to 40 meters, and walk or jog back to recover before repeating it.
