Drills To Improve Your Running Form!⚡️ #runningtips
These drills (A-skip, B-skip, ankling) are all important for improving your running form in different ways:
A-Skip:
Focuses on: High knee drive, proper footstrike, arm swing coordination [2, 4].
Benefits: Improves running form efficiency, warms up key leg muscles, strengthens core and leg muscles.
B-Skip:
Builds on A-Skip: Adds a lateral leg extension, emphasizing leg power and hip mobility [2].
Benefits: Develops explosive power for faster strides, improves hip mechanics for better propulsion.
Ankling:
Focuses on: Foot dorsiflexion (pointing toes up) and quick ground contact [1].
Benefits: Encourages a midfoot or forefoot strike, improves ankle mobility and stability, reduces impact on heels and knees.
Here's a breakdown of how they work together:
A-Skip: Sets the foundation with proper leg mechanics and posture.
B-Skip: Adds power and explosiveness to the A-Skip motion.
Ankling: Ensures proper foot placement and efficient ground contact.
