- Mini hurdles
Six mini hurdles spaced one meter apart: run straight through while lifting your knees, run sideways, then take a step between each hurdle. The hurdle forces you to actually lift your knee, whereas the ladder lets you cheat.
Key points
- Lift your knee, keep your ankle flexed: don't jump over the hurdle. Step over it.
- Two runs per pattern.
- When running laterally, keep your shoulders facing forward.
- Thirty seconds between runs.
Common mistakes
- Jumping over the hurdles with both feet instead of stepping over them.
- Spacing the hurdles so far apart that you fall back into a running stride.
