RUNNING AND SPRINTING TECHNIQUE FOR BEGINNERS - A,B,C SKIP
Спорт
Running and sprinting technique for beginners to advanced athletes. We discuss A Skip, B Skip, C Skip, and the proper arm action for efficient running and sprinting technique. We also discuss doing these drills in different planes of motion. Once you master the running technique a certain way we can change up how we do it to increase difficulty and force our body to re-learn the mechanics and cement the technique into our neuromuscular system. We talk about performing the skips forwards, backwards, lateral, unilateral, resisted, utilizing a hill, utilizing a dowel, and utilizing a jump rope, These drills are great for beginners and advanced runners/sprinters as they are low impact but still teach the specific components of a proper running and sprinting leg cycle. A Skip is our explosive leg drive, B Skip is our explosive leg stride, and C Skip is an explosive combined drive and stride for quickness. If we can combine the increased efficiency A, B, and C skips provide into our running/sprinting we will have a more efficient leg cycle that contacts the ground more frequently. The more frequently you contact the ground with bigger strides the faster you will go from point a to point b. These drill are perfect for everyone but especially great for young athletes learning to run, beginners that want to increase running efficiently, those rehabbing an injury, and older populations who enjoy physical activity because of the low impact compared to sprinting but still reeping the benefits of speed training.

All these skills are easy enough a child can learn them through practice but difficult enough most adults can't perform them.
I make these drills look easy. Give them a try and let me know what you think in the comments below. Get creative and tell me some athletic variations you think would be cool to try.

Hey sir, I have two questions, my first is that why should we do A skips and B skips instead of only doing C skips which is a combination of the two. My second question is that is there any way to make it easy to implement the form of our C skip in our actual running or does it happen automatically. I just started running and I have very bad form so I’m trying to improve it greatly.

All three variations of skipping A skip, B skip, and C skip improve running/sprinting technique & coordination in the warmup. A and B skips have a higher knee lift/drive which is important for max sprinting and B skip has a larger leg "cycle" than c skip which is important for max sprinting. C skip is great for learning to moving quickly but lacks the high drive and larger cycle of B skip. I hope that helps answer your question. You could technically pick just one per workout to save time but each movement is slightly different hence improving coordination which improves neuromuscular connections. I.e. the more ways you can skip the more solid your technique. As this is part of you warmup, or build up to eventually doing full out sprints or running farther distances, be sure to also build up to 12 sprints per week (they can be distributed over the week however you want). I tend to do 6 sprints one day and 6 sprints another. Time your sprints because to beat your own personal score you will also have to improve your technique. Hopefully helps. Happy to answer more questions and add value. Cheers, Joe

@@multisportmindsetThanks so much for answering my question, hope it wasn’t much trouble.
This guy does not have a clue in developing a dominant fast-twitch sprinters ham (says a guy who had crazy speed)

This video is for developing running technique for beginners. If I was programming for peak sprinting there would be many more variables involved in the programming all being specified for the individual (as everyone is built different and at different stages in their training/development). Variables such as Strength, Power, conditioning, plyometrics, sprints, mobility, joint stability etc. There is always more to learn, and I myself am constantly on that journey of growth. I am glad that you have found a program that works for you and that you have enjoyed success with your speed training and I hope you keep progressing. Cheers, Joe
