Running Drills For Beginners
Drills are a great way to establish proper form and movement patterns into our muscle memory as well as a way to improve recruitment of the proper muscles when you start to get fatigued. If you’re new to running or have never done drills before, I’ve compiled some great drills for beginners. These can be done after an easy warm up jog or at the end of a run 2-3 times/week. You’ll want to do each drill for 20-30 seconds, with a slow jog back to the start. If you have time to run through the drills 2-3 times, even better!
