Incorporating running drills as part of your training programme is very important for improving your technique, your speed and preventing injuries. High knees are a fantastic way to develop your explosive power and speed.
What are the benefits?
High knee drills improve your running form, speed and posture. By lifting your knees towards your chest with each stride, you engage and strengthen your hip flexors and core muscles. This leads to a more efficient and controlled running motion, which can increase your speed and reduce your energy expenditure over longer distances. Another benefit of doing this drill is that it helps improve your stride length and hip flexibility.
