Running Drills
Following is some examples of running drills that will help with technique and speed. Try these once a week during your run.
Exaggerated Skipping
Swing opposite arm to the leg being lifted, driving each knee up as
high as comfortably possible. Use the arm swing to help generate
higher lift.
Frankenstein
Extend your arms straight out in front of you. Walk slowly and keep
knees straight, raising one leg at a time as high as comfortable
possible. Keep your trunk erect.
Kick Butt
Lean forward from the hips. Raise onto your toes so that your weight
is on the balls of your feet. Run with your feet kicking up in back
trying to kick your butt. Step quickly, use arms.
Stiff Legged
Running Bend arms to 90O angles at your sides, rise onto toes. Keep
knees locked and run as quickly as possible. Maintain a slight
forward lean, strides are short.
High Knee Walking
Rise up on your toes, lock ankles and lean slightly forward.

before bringing your leg back to ground. Concentrate on lifting the
knee as high as possible without loosing form. Cover only a small
distance with each stride.
