STEP OVERS – KNEE
Knee height step overs will teach the brain how to move at the ankle for efficient and economical running. Engraining the forefoot strike motor pattern will also prepare the ankle to maximise force production. Knee height running is primarily seen during max speed sprinting and is the final progression before integrating all 3 into a […]
STEP OVERS – SHIN
Shin height step overs will teach the brain how to move at the ankle for efficient and economical running. Engraining the forefoot strike motor pattern will also prepare the ankle to maximise force production. Shin height running is primarily seen during medium pace runs but the pattern should also be learned before the height of […]
STEP OVERS – ANKLE
Ankle height step overs will teach the brain how to move at the ankle for efficient and economical running. Engraining the forefoot strike motor pattern will also prepare the ankle to maximise force production. Ankle height running is primarily seen during long, slow endurance runs but the pattern should also be learned before the height […]
STEP-OVER BUILD UP
Step over build up is an extremely effective drill to directly integrate and transfer the benefits of the step-over series drills into top speed running. Using this drill will provide context for the brain to seamlessly utilise previous patterns to improve running mechanics. General prescription: 3-6 sets, 20-80m.
