Great techniques with outstanding form - exactly what I do with my youth athletes

Also nice to see you repping the Vivobarefoots - likewise.

Wish barefootwear was a thing when I was growing up, parents didn't know better. Multiple severe injuries incl. shin splints because of my crap shoes.

Hello Pierre, how many days should I do these drills?

0:01 Skips are one of those exercises who were adopted only because once there is no way to emulate the sprint motion while training. In this case the weight force expressed is only supposed that this kind of drill could represent/riproduce the exact movement, but realy is not and the reason is clear : the athlete cant add any force other than a minimum amount, so at each step is pratically as about he was in the starting point. The arms, cannot even be useful to push forward the body neither to increase the weight force at the best, and also this reason is clear : being not the body in running, the arms cannot push forward the weight force to produce a force with opposite sense. 0:05 the same, anothe exercise of ability, is as like running on the treadmill, it is more an exercise to maintain the balance and the coordination nothing more. Unless someone would came and explain how an athlete can increase his force without a progressive overload (as you see this 2 drills are even an overload other than the own weight). NOTE: the weight of the body is simply lifted by the legs without any effort, so to run at very elevate speed is necessarily a matter of hundreds of kilos. This does not means that a sprinter must necessarily lift 300 kg for example (amount possible for those exercise as squat or deadlift since in some aspects can slightly reproduce and increase the weight force but however without to train the transfer of this weight force from a let to the other leg). The runnin is something who has something to do with the principle of lever and the distance of the overload from the baricentre. in an ideal training TWO things are fundamental:1. the right amount of overload which can be lifted by the body that allows to increase the repetitions (not as in classic weight training where the maximals are set by the fact that the position cannot help to increase the repetitions ) and 2. the exact position of the body who allows to increase the repetitions. It is not as with classical training with weights .In the weight machines or free weights, where athlete is only seated or stand up or layed without the best stabilization of the body other than the back or the front of the body or the back of that muscle. ONE EXAMPLE: in layed leg curl, the athlete has the feet completely free so there is no stabilization, other than the abdome, and so the repetions are set byt this position and NOT because the luscle canot lift more. ANOTHER EXAMPLE: in seated leg extension, the athlete is seated and so the stabilization is by the back and the rear of the legs, feet are completelly free so the amount of weights can be lifted depends only by how much the athlete can express by the pushinf force transfered by the back, being pratically the athlete pushed up during this training, the results is an under training of the legs 0:32 as you see, once the athlete ends ths exercise it has pratically no pushing force. Considered that he performed the exercise at about maximal engage, if this exercise realy would be useful to train the speed, the athlete had to be more explosive, while he is not and the reason is clear : all the weight force expressed during this dril is very low and so undertrained. 0:45 another drill only fo coordination, in this case the athlete ends with more weight force expressed but is however low, the behind leg is blocked because with this block is trying (thanks to the mechanism of controreaction) to transfer the increased weight force to the opposite leg, unfortunately being the athlete completely stand up, the engage of the leg is very low and infact the athlete lifts upward the arms in way to lift more up the whole body. 1:00 in this exercise, the athlete speed his drill and express more weight force but this drill is however limuted. In the real running when te athlete ends his run cannot stop immediately, while in all those drills the athlete pratically stops after some steps, this because this drills really undertrain and howeer don t incrase at the best the wieght force. If they would do, then the athlete would end the drills not so easily. In other words, this drills are only a drill to increase the frequency as well the distance of the steps, it is about an old way of training. The fundamental fact is that, even with an high frequency and a larger distance of the steps, and being an athlete able to perform this drill with high speed does not grant an high speed while running in sprint, since is the power expressed the very difference. And this drills don t train at the best the muscles involved (being not performed with a progressive overload and limited with the repetions could be performed) and dont increase so the weight force and don t transfer at the best the maximum weight force expressed by the leg behind to the opposite leg. 1:10 is another ability, however is not realy emulating the sprint motion, there is however an aspect to be considered: in this case the athlete benting his leges have chance to increase the weight force and also in some way is obliged to transfer this force from a leg to other leg, but is witout any overload and progressive verload, so it is a drill with limited results
