Cant help but think adding a few drills would help too.

That said the drills are pretty generic and I'm happy to list them out. Keep in mind however I am working very hard at doing them with very good form and checking in with Anna every couple of weeks to make sure I'm doing them properly and I feel I'm getting more out of them than I have in the past. Whether that is true or not I have been able to do a+c skip for the first time ever so at minimum I'm improving there.<br />Full drills currently is a walk, b walk, a+c walk, backwards walk, fast leg exchange with hold, a skip, b skip, a+c skip, back wards skip, hopping in place, fast leg exchange with 3 hops, straight leg shuffle with a skip both sides (2 drills left and right) then shuffle with a skip alternating legs, ankle dribbles and calf dribbles. If I do a light set of drills it is usually a mix of 4 to 6 of these. <br /><br />-Nate nateruns@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851427962048556845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-86799454228050247292016-10-24T09:36:05.018-07:002016-10-24T09:36:05.018-07:00Thanks for the response, always good to hear the t...Thanks for the response, always good to hear the thinking behind someone's training. My own thoughts were that it was in order to return to the routine of doubles before increasing mileage but your answer makes more sense.Murpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116780895532449435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-70022943598452227382016-10-24T08:40:23.693-07:002016-10-24T08:40:23.693-07:00Nate,

You seem to do them multiple times per week, is this the same routine? <br /><br />Anyway, just curious. Love reading the blog, of course!<br />-BenBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098939310018917346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-90910572692657580632016-10-23T17:18:31.621-07:002016-10-23T17:18:31.621-07:00Normally I wouldn't jump back into doubles qui...Normally I wouldn't jump back into doubles quickly. I would build up to single runs of 10 to 12 miles before going to doubles. In this case I'm focusing a lot of holding good form and as I go much more than 40mins I start to notice the form coming apart a bit so I'm not ready to regularly go longer but I'm not tired after a 4 to 6 mile run so bouncing back for a second session isn't that hard. Keep in mind I've run a double most days since early 1999 so my body is very used to that so it's a relatively low risk play for a guy like me but for someone with a different training history it could be a very stupid idea.nateruns@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851427962048556845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-53126090869687309552016-10-23T17:11:12.812-07:002016-10-23T17:11:12.812-07:00Hi Nate,

I've noticed that you have gone straight back into doubles despite being on relatively low mileage (for you at any rate). I'd love to hear your reasoning behind this.<br />All the best,<br />Eamonn.Murpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116780895532449435noreply@blogger.com
