RUNNING DRILLS 101

FREE
For many long distance runners, whether triathletes or otherwise, the
technical side of running is not seen as an important part of our training.
Basically as long as we do the miles and don't get injured we generally
assume our style and gait is fine. Increased efficiency comes from time on
roads and trails.
For sprinters, track, and power athletes, drills play a crucial part of
their weekly training regime. So why do sprinters do drills and is there
anything that triathletes and long distance runners can learn from our
speedier friends at the track? In my opinion the answer is definitely yes. I
mean wouldn't you like to have a bit of extra speed for that sprint finish
or have a more efficient running technique off the bike?
Why Drills?
To understand why drills are important lets go back to the crux of why we
train so hard, quite simply put, it is to improve our performance i.e. to go
faster, to get more speed. And in running there is a very simple formula for
speed......................

Depending upon what you call long distance runners (over 5k?, over 100
mi?), what makes you think distance runners, esp. trail runners, don't
do drills?

Ahh RD's will admit need to do these more. Even if it was spam thanks

Shoot, my experience from when I was in HS and College was that the
distance runners did more RD's and took them more serious than the
sprinters. Saving energy is important in spriniting but its even more
important in distance running.
