DON’T FORGET TO PRACTICE YOUR NEW DRILLS!
Here are some videos that demonstrate pose running drills.
Practice is important to get the technique down, so feel free to use these drills as part of a workout or warm-up or just run through them as a regular workout.
This video is a compilation of drills. It is short and to the point.

Next, this video opens with the Foot Pull on Wall, Forward Lean w/Foot Pull and “Gun”/”Charlie’s Angels” Drill. Instructor also reviews stabilization when running (keeping body moving forward and not up/down or side to side – “gun drill”). NOTE: The 2nd part of this video gives a demo of upward movement using a box jump drill. Just stay grounded! Use the hand over head with a partner, as demo’d, to help curb the up/down motion of the body.
