RUNNING SCHOOL
These drills can be done from anywhere between 20 100m and are great for part
of a recovery workout.
Start athletes at a fast jog and as they get better/more used to the drills, their
speed can increase
The letters refer to the Mach drill that you are doing. They should be done
aggressively and in quick succession of one another with a few steps of jogging
before repeating the exercise.
Start with doing it on each leg separately and then work your way up to doing them
on both legs.
Example of a workout:
3 x 4 x 60m AA , AB , AC
back / 6 min
rest: walk
