Drills are an important part of warm up and provide a fun element to a lesson. After the first parts
of a warm-up have been completed correctly it is safe to move on to running drills in which
the athlete specifically prepares his or her body for the demands of an activity session. The drills
carried out as part of a warm up routine should reflect the type of movements required to improve
running action by giving the participant specific areas on which to focus. Drills help by improving
the strength in the muscles associated with a particular part of the running action.

Kick Outs
Start as knee lifts but instead of bringing
the foot straight down, “kick” the foot out
and away from the body and then bring down
and back swiftly under the body. As the knee
rises to its high point, do a little skip before
dragging the other foot down. It is important
to use the opposite arm as a balance.
Knee Lifts
Stand tall, lift knee so that the thigh is parallel
to the ground keeping the supporting leg
as straight as possible. Opposite arm swings
up in front. Move slowly forward alternating
knees swiftly.
