Running Drills: Heel Walking (10-20m then stride out remaining 65-90mm)

Written by Coach Tom McGlynn

Like the previous drill, heel walking targets the muscles of the lower leg, ankle, and

foot.  More of the emphasis, however, is on the shin.  This drill plays an important role

in the prevention of shin splints (one of the most common complaints of distance

runners).
