HIGH KNEES
Drill description: Striders helps to lengthen the stride whereas this drill helps to quicken the stride and add more power to your running. It is the second important key to faster running. Keep your back and shoulders straight and slightly arched, arms bent at the elbows at a ninety degree angle and hands and head pointed straight ahead. Run twenty yards and extend your knee as high as you can on every stride. Take small quick steps, shorter than a normal stride, and emphasize getting as much height as you can with the knee. Push off with the calves and drive the knee as high as possible. You should take twice as many strides as it normally would take to cover 20 yards. Make sure to drive the arms as fast as possible and breathe throughout the exercise.
