Running form drills for better running efficiency

Form running drill imagesForm running drills are an important training routine for runners of various abilities. By regularly practicing FRD’s the nervous system of the athlete will increase the neural pathways used in performing the drill. The result is an improved ‘technique’ to the runners form after weeks of consistent training with the FRD’s.To activate the proper response in the body while doing the drills, they must consist of enough repetitions that it challenges the nervous system to ‘work harder’ to perform the drill properly. This will feel like a deterioration of the execution of the movement towards the later repetitions of each set of a drill. Full recovery (1-2 minutes) should be taken between each drill.A form running drill session for an athlete would be as follows:-45 minute run at recovery or moderate aerobic pace-2 x 45 repetitions of each running form drills (below) with a skipping recovery between each drill-800m cool down jog-stretching and foam rolling-contrast bathing if neededForm running drill images
