Working on run form is important. With these 3 simple drills you can teach your body to improve your run stride and efficiency, as well as muscle activation patterns. They don’t take long, 5 minutes at the most. Throw them in as part of your warm up, during a recovery walk/jog, or at the end of a long run.

I’ve heard for the C’s that you want to more lift your knee quickly and kick your butt under your body instead of behind to more simulate real running.
Any thoughts on that? I’ve only heard it the one time, so would be curious to get more peoples opinions
Hi Vincent,
The goal behind the C’s is to simulate the ‘kick’ (Leg back) portion of your stride. Lifting your knee and having your heel under your butt happens later in the stride as you move your leg forward. Here’s a couple photos that show real runners in action with awesome leg kick.
