Don’t forget to work one the arm movements too. This will help with form, speed and drive. Swinging arms in the wrong direction starts to twist the body a lot.
Driving the arms definitely helps on bring knees up on hills.
The arm action is another drill you can use to help concentrate on when struggling on long runs

This helped me a lot. Could see immediately faster zone 2 time 🙂 Thank you for the content from here Finland

I notice when running at slower, Easy pace my right knee ever so slightly crosses inwards. Any tips on keeping bot knees headed in the right direction?

Many thanks

His posture is something incredible 😂... I will try to improve using those tips! 👏☺️

Tell me how do I push my speed 10K for 40 mnts?

This video is great! Exactly what I need after resting from my knee injuries

Andy has a beard!

Enjoying these videos. I wonder if we could see more of these videos. The basics are really important for beginners, people returning, people returning whilst trying to lose weight, and people getting older, sure there must be some advice here we could all use at some point now or in the future (of course I never age lol).

I am a 10K runner and looking for a plan to get my 10K under 45 minutes. Pleas help. Thank you.

very important question I hope to grab an answer !

I'm essentially a 180 speed shuffler lol

applying this series of drills in particular the a skip I notice a significant pop off the ground, a bounding sensation. something unfamiliar to me.

is this a correct feeling to feel? a pop / launch into your stride?

amazing xxxx

Thanks a lot! These tips are awesome. Next, I would like to see something explaining the role of the arms, especially with changing conditions, e.g. climbing a hill, descending, and what happens to the arms when you get tired. Also, what is the best swing you can advise, close to the body, the angle of the elbows, the direction of the swing. How important the syncing with the legs and the rest of the body is. Connected to this, not only the arms but hands as well.

When I ran track in high school we always did these, but we didn’t do them correctly as they weren’t taught correctly. I didn’t know this until I did some training with the track team at the local university and found out how wrong we were.

I definitely have a longer stride, and I land heavily on my heals out front of my body. I've never questioned this technique. But can see how injury prone it is.

Hi Andy and team - Can you suggest what shoes are best for running? Thank you.

Your example running at 45sec is showing your feet pronating, no?

Thank you verymuch.
👍🏃💪❤🌷🌹💫🌃💫🌹🌷❤🌉🏃✌💪

Love the video. I will definitely start doing them!!

Watching Andy do Ankle Step Overs is mesmerizing

I love how graceful he is while doing these drills.

I’ve found striding and impacting on toes twangs my calf and I’m out of action for a few weeks with a painful limp. I found, so far, that reducing my stride length has hopefully limited that. I’m long legged and thought that I could gain ground by striding out - big mistake! Will definitely try some of the stretching exercises.

Thanks guys! This is really helpful, I try to take notes and take those with me to practice. I've been a runner for 18 years now and reaching 40 I want to run faster, I want to be comptetive in my age group and this is really something I've been looking for, you've got a new subscriber!

In cycling they advise to avoid hill reps with bad knees, does the same logic apply for running?

Best video I have seen explaining and demonstrating drills to improve running form, excellent stuff, thank you.

Now I know why athletes do all these weird looking exercises. Clear explanation. Thanks 👍

What a great video. I gonna break this down in a video! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

When you demonstrate A-walks you put your heel first on the ground with a straight leg forward, isn't that 'stimulating' ove rstriding?
It also doesn't line-up with the A-skip you demonstrate where you bounce and don't put you're heel first on the ground with straight leg!

could you timestamp this

thanks for this

This video is perfect timing for me as i'm currently trying to tweak my running form. I naturally have a higher cadence but my stride length is shorter. Once again fantastic advice from TRC. Thank you 🥰

Strides after all my runs for my marathon training. Literally a game changer!😉

Definitely going to incorporate this into my training! Thank you so much!

I also find running with better runners has helped me loads. I joined a local run club it is worth the 25 minute drive to run with them.

How frequently would you suggest doing these?
I’ve currently dialled back my mileage doing more cross training through winter, so would you consider incorporating these as part of a weights session.
Thank you in advance and hope you all have a fab festive period 🤗

Thank you for this channel you helped me a lot

Wow! As a proponent of running drills, I found this video very valuable and updated to the drills I do! So important that a drill session may be substituted for a running workout. Yes, I incorporate striders in every run and periodically will run race pace at the end of my long run. Thanks again for a great video!

Not everyone hates hills! All my routes get hills because they make things interesting!

How long should each set be like?

Andy, are those shoes Nike Pegasus 83?

I try to mix striders in a few times a week.

I have just reintroduced strides at the end of my easy pace runs. Great video as always!

I’m going to start doing strides tomorrow since I’m coming off injury and can’t do much else

I do need to try these moves. I use to hate sprints and speedwork- still do, the track makes me shudder- but I really enjoy throwing strides into slow runs.
