Will do now :)! 2 quick Questions. how does the first drill benefit our running form if we are purposely falling with our heels first? and, should we definitely aim to do all drills regularly (instead of just picking a few and perhaps misguiding our form when running)? thanks!
Great video! As a road marathoner for the past 5 years, I'm always looking for new tips on motivation, getting stronger and preventing dreaded injuries. form drills are a great way to excel! Your post is very inspirational. As a fellow UA-camr, I love sharing my knowledge and experiences to help other runners. I know how much goes into these videos! Keep posting - I just subscribed!
Do you want to land on your heel and with the foot that much in front of your center of gravity when doing the 1st exercise? It seems like you aim for landing on your midfoot and with the foot closer to the CoG in the other exercises?
Yes, where possible land on your mid foot. I do in some clips, but unfortunately we filmed a couple on a downhill gradient. It's not really an issue for something like the pose drill, as you need to keep it controlled. But as you move on to the more dynamic drills, yes, it's a good idea to shift more towards the mid-foot
They're the On Cloudventure Peak. They're a lightweight trail shoe, really meant for racing. I quite like wearing them for a lot of runs though. They haven't got a ton of cushioning though, so I wouldn't advise doing too many miles in them. Lovely fitting shoe though :)
You’re also just really focusing on form over a short distance. If you were to just run 5km continuously it’s not possible to focus on your form the whole time, whereas if you do 20 x 100m strides you get 2km of practice with better form, so it’s a technique to get a decent volume of high quality work in that you can recover from quickly
Do you do drills before your run workouts?

Yes
Perfect video, zero padding, required content. Like the drills: done in 5!

never seen these before- thanks for the info
Where is this filmed? It looks amazing. New to the channel so not sure where it's usually based.
GTN HQ is in Bath, but this video was filmed in Bantham, Devon - and it's 😍
I really need those drills😊
Mark - please do share what runners are you wearing there? Considering in buying one!

@@markthrelfall3577 thanks so much for your input, useful to know!
Hi. Can I do these drills on the treadmill? 😅
Hi! It might involve a little more difficulty but its possible!
@@gtn Thanks! Great video by the way!
Thanks for the tips.....other than looking silly, what is the can can drill for - you don’t say in the video....
I'm not seeing the difference between strides and running. Am I missing a nuance?
Strides is running at 90% of your maxx speed on a short distance. But otherwise no, it's just running fast and short to wake your legs up
