How to do the Kneeling Arm Drill
- This drill helps increase arm efficiency during the run.
- Begin kneeling, left foot in front, right knee down.
- Apply pressure through the front heel to keep your glutes and hamstrings activated.Begin by blocking the arms in long, pendulum like swings.
- Close the arm angle, blocking with the arms as you would when jogging, progressing to a run and finally a sprint.As soon as your hands pass the hip, accelerate them forward during the sprinting motion to move them as quickly as possible.Switch knees and repeat.
