Perform the "Figure 4" drill before runs to work on improving leg swing during gait. Many runners run with a leg that is extended too much at the knee which creates a slower cadence, sets up a poor foot strike (often over-striding), and uses more energy. Most runners are unaware that they run with a leg that is too extended and run with a "Shuffle" gait.
This drill brings awareness to where the leg should be during running. Practicing it standing and then being able to slowly jog while exaggerating this motion develops proper awareness and memory for transitioning into your new running form.
