#speedcity!! Here is Part Two of my velocity drill series. This drill typically takes 4-6 weeks to learn but we try to do it in just one session. How do you think they do?

On “Looking for sprint form feedback. It’s my first time sprinting in spikes (post-femur fracture)”

Another good video from Les Spellman going over dribbling. A good drill for stiffness and hip engagement. A key point in the video is how the hip/glute drive the recovery, rather than knee flexion bringing the heel up. link to this video

On “What does the drill part of my workout mean?”

Drills are exercises you can do that help you run faster, usually by helping you practice your form. There's a lot of different drills with the intention of different things, because there's a lot of ways to improve your running mechanics. One common series of drills is the a-march progression. Basically a series of drills done to teach your body to reach this position while running. Do a marches, slowly walking with your knees like that and forcefully pushing into the ground *under* your body. Then a-skips, you can look that up and find a million videos. Then some high knees.
