I think the two biggest difficulties concerning running drills are remembering to do them and getting over that self-consciousness.

I’ll try exaggerated skips tomorrow. Although I should probably look them up rather than just doing Mario’s hop leap through the yard.

Good point on the zombie leg drill. Maybe I should rewrite the article to explain why running drills will help you in the zombie apocalypse. “The Zombie Leg Drill will teach you how to mimic and blend in with a crowd of zombies…”

I now include a 15 minute warmup and 15 minute cool down to every run, mostly because my coach has programmed it in. I’m so glad it’s there to give me time to get my body ready to run and do a few drills. High knees, butt kickers, and Carioca are my go-to drills. I also like the zombie leg one, which I’m sure is the official drill of Run Away From Zombies.

The other drill I use regularly is an exaggerated skip. Talk about feeling self-conscious. I always imagine it looking just as dumb as Mario jumping to crush a brick, but it works and longevity in running looks much less dumb then limping around like before.

Great article!
