Scurry Tip #8: Form and Drills

a. Running is something you will get better at with practice. However, focusing on form as you run will help you be more efficient and improve faster. Try ditching the headphones a couple of times a week and think about your form. Are your arms swinging front and back or are they crossing over your chest? Are you leading with your knee and lifting your foot or are you just swinging your leg through? Are you bouncing up and down more than you are moving forward? You can add drills one or two times a week to help strengthen and recruit the right muscle groups. Some of my favorites are: High Knees, Butt Kicks, Skipping, Side slide, Karaoke, backward running and striders.
