❗️RUNNING MECHANICS❗️

Changing your running pattern and improving your running efficiency can be very difficult. With so many things to focus and work on (cadence, body lean, foot strike, muscular strength and endurance, stability etc.) it’s hard to know where to start. Running drills can help as a good starting point.

Here we have Ryan Armstrong-boase demonstrating a running drill you can use to help promote a forefoot strike pattern of running, while also improving the elastic recoil of the Achilles tendon and develop calf endurance.

The elevated front leg contracts to control the speed with which the back foot falls to the floor, making it a great regression from hopping and running style drills when starting out improving running mechanics.
