Video: High Knee Drill

Adam Hodges | June 8, 2012

The high knee drill works the loading phase of the run. The key to performing the drill correctly is to focus on driving the foot down and letting it spring back up off the ground (rather than lifting the knees). Use the same arm motion during this drill as you use while running.

  • Side-to-side Skip
  • Carioca, or Grapevine
  • A Skip
  • B Skip
  • Butt Kicks
  • High Knees
  • Straight Leg Run
  • Ankling
