Runner’s Toe Touch Balance Drill

Adam Hodges | June 19, 2013

Running is effectively balancing on one leg after the other, over and over again, through the entirety of the run. Balance is therefore an essential skill all runners need to master. Perform the runner’s toe touch drill (demonstrated in the video below) throughout the day for a few seconds at a time to improve your running-specific balance. Train smart!
