DRILLS 1:32 Walking Lunges Stay nice and tall with hips forward. Look straight ahead and keep shoulders back. 2:11 A Walk Top tight parallel to ground with toes pulled up to shin. 2:56 A Skip Dynamic bouncing rhythm. Arms should be in rhythm with legs. Bring feet directly underneath body. 3:38 B Skip Step out and kick out rather than in front leading with the heel and pull your leg using hamstrings and glutes directly underneath body. Really pulling actively underneath hips. Helps develop powerful, lengthened stride. 4:13 Ankling Exaggerate knees over toes. Be nice and tall keeping shoulder blades together. Put foot down and roll up through toes. 4:45 Ankle Stepovers Imagine an invisible line ground through ankle bones and you're going to step over that. 5:20 Straight Leg Run Exaggerate toes to shins. 5:38 Sequence Straight leg run>Ankle Stepovers>Run into normal stride

This video is perfect timing for me as i'm currently trying to tweak my running form. I naturally have a higher cadence but my stride length is shorter. Once again fantastic advice from TRC. Thank you 🥰

This is really helpful! I love these kinds of helpful tips. Keep them coming.

This video is great! Exactly what I need after resting from my knee injuries

Wow! As a proponent of running drills, I found this video very valuable and updated to the drills I do! So important that a drill session may be substituted for a running workout. Yes, I incorporate striders in every run and periodically will run race pace at the end of my long run. Thanks again for a great video!

Just started working with a coach and have had my first strides after easy runs. Actually finding them really fun!

Love the video. I will definitely start doing them!!

Brilliant film 🎥 Watch lots of stride films and this definitely the best will save and watch again before next run 👍👍👍

Great video, I’ll do this as a warmup before every running. Thank you so much!

This is gold! thank you both. I'm going to add this to my warmup routine when time permits but also for every track/threshold session. I hope one day to be as smooth and coordinated as Andy in these drills.

Definitely going to incorporate this into my training! Thank you so much!

Best video I have seen explaining and demonstrating drills to improve running form, excellent stuff, thank you.

I have just reintroduced strides at the end of my easy pace runs. Great video as always!

I love this channel so much,thanks for making me fall in love with running!

Amazing video thanks!

I am now over 60 but used to be an ok runner. I had my own technique which was to imagine I was being pulled along by my middle section so to speak. It kept my posture upright and pushing forward.

Super useful video, would be nice to have a "cheat sheet" that you can take a photo of with your phone for quick reference (GTN does this for some of their videos) keep it up! Video suggestion: tips on training periodisation for those of us looking to go beyond set running plans/programmes and make our own custom plans over several months (particularly in terms of how to balance increases in volume vs. intensity vs. elevation). Thanks!

What a great video. I gonna break this down in a video! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Thanks a lot! These tips are awesome. Next, I would like to see something explaining the role of the arms, especially with changing conditions, e.g. climbing a hill, descending, and what happens to the arms when you get tired. Also, what is the best swing you can advise, close to the body, the angle of the elbows, the direction of the swing. How important the syncing with the legs and the rest of the body is. Connected to this, not only the arms but hands as well.
