I mostly perform drills because I’m 62 and I recently pulled my calf . Not as bad as I first thought . Could walk 2 days later . Did 30 minutes weighted 1:16 squats and deadlifts - now I can’t walk again. Boy , I need this . 6 months I did nothing due to an Achilles tendon problem . Bad excuse . I could have done my air bike or upper body strength . Well , I am back at it - taking it easy and making it fun.

[@marlenatopple8472]

Perfect tutorial. Will give it a go tomorrow when I am training. My only question is why? Is this a warm up activity? Or a drill to improve efficiency? Can someone please explain. Thanks.

[@chalkiotisapo1053]

I do this exact exercise for the past 5 years in my warm up and never as drill.

I would like to do it after the race, not as a warm-up I can?

[@matthewalty]

You definitely can use this as a cool down method once you have finished racing just like you can use almost all warmup routines as a cool down method as well...... However the primary goal of most drills is to prime your body to move very well but that doesn't mean they can't be used after a race.... For example in most cases middle-distance and distance runners will do a low intensity shake out run after a race for their cool down. Whereas sprinters will use low intensity drills, strides, and stretches.

​@@matthewaltyI understand I started doing this exercise as a warm-up before the race and my foot hurt a lot during the race (long run of 10 km) I don't know if it's because it's not right to do A SKIP and then go for a run afterwards or because I'm not prepared and need to do this exercise little by little, like starting with “A WALK” and then “A RUN” and finally a SKIP. what do you think?
