Stop treating your runs like a tug-of-war. 🏃💨 If you’re gassing out early, it’s not always your cardio.. it can be overstriding! When your foot lands too far in front of your hips, you’re essentially slamming on the brakes with every step. You're working twice as hard for half the momentum. 🛑 The Fix: Focus on landing under your center of gravity. Efficient form is about where you land, not just how far you reach! Happy running! ✨

True sprint mechanics are built in layers. Focus on the progression: ✅ A-Walk: Lock in the posture and coordination. ✅ A-Hop: Introduce rhythm and reactive force. ✅ A-Skip: Build the classic reflexive bounce. ✅ A-Exchange: Master rapid, powerful leg turnover. Don't rush the process. Perfect the movement at every speed! ⚡️

Ever wonder why we do running drills? It’s all about muscle memory! ✨ Butt Kicks = Faster heel recovery. ✨ High Knees = Priming the hips to drive. ✨ B-Skips = Teaching the foot to "claw" for power.

A few of my favorite drills for faster run/sprint days! ⚡️ ✔️ Ankle pops ✔️ A-skip ✔️ Straight leg bound ✔️ Side shuffle These are really good at activating the muscles you use during faster movements!

Angles are so important. ✨ When too high: we aren’t getting the ankle mobility that the drive phase really needs to strike in the position the drill is made for When too low: you have so much pressure on your upper body that you aren’t able to load the lower limbs in the way you should to maximize the drill. Find that sweet spot, and have fun, this drill is great! 👍

My internal checklist on every run: 👀 Head & eyes up. 🧘‍♀️ Relax the shoulders & arms. 👟 Drive the knees. What’s the one running form cue you’re always repeating to yourself? 👇

If you’re doing A-skips and B-skips, double-check your form 👏🏼 A-Skip: knee up, toe up — simple. B-Skip: knee up, then extend, snap down under you. Don’t rush it. Nail the positions, then worry about speed. 🤍 #TrackDrills #SprinterTips #FormFirst

I straight up spent an hour doing drills the other day. I had so much fun too 👏😂🙌 . I always emphasize drills because they improve form and muscle memory, but the truth is that they are also really helpful to improve fitness, and I implement longer warm up’s to help me “get in shape” at the beginning of my training cycles. 💪 . So next time you do drill and it feels tiring, don’t worry- that’s a good thing ✌️

Eyes Up ✅ Eyes Down ❌ Let’s talk about why: 👀 The Spine: Looking down bends your neck and breaks your posture. A neutral chin is a technique win! 👏 ⚡️ The Speed Illusion: Looking down feels faster, but it actually forces your body into a slower position. Keep your eyes up to run faster with less effort. ⬆️ The Awareness: Seeing obstacles 20 meters ahead vs. 2 feet in front of you gives you way more time to react and adjust. 😮‍💨 The Airway: Tucking your chin can slightly compress your airway. Keeping your head neutral keeps everything open for maximum breathing efficiency. Your homework today: Try looking down for a few strides, then look up. Notice the instant shift in your posture, breathing, and awareness? 👇

When a coach says "get your knees up," they don't mean physically pulling them to your chest. They just mean stop letting them point at the ground. Watch the breakdown to see how high knees drills actually build the hip flexor strength you need to keep your stride efficient and drive hard when your legs are tired at the finish line. 🏁 What's your go-to cue when you start losing form?

For my runners: dynamic movement and drills are not to be skipped. They allow you to improve form and decrease injury, allowing you to become a better, faster runner. For my athletes that don’t run: dynamic movement and drills are not to be skipped. They keep fundamental functions of your body active and are huge for longevity, and not just in sport… in life!

The Fast Leg Drill is one of my absolute favorites! 🏃‍♀️💨 Here is why you need to add this to your routine: ✅Gets your entire body firing ✅Trains bouncy, snappy, and explosive turnover. ✅Builds pop right off the ground so your knees don't collapse. ✅Perfects the transition from a step into a clean leg cycle. It’s an advanced drill, but stick with it! Master the rhythm, find your pop, and watch that speed carry right down the track.
