Wow these are MUCH harder that we though! Thanks Mr. Orton for all your teachings! Is there a recommendation on how many times a week to do these drills?
Coach, great content! Thanks for putting all of this out for free. I’ve purchased both books and can’t wait to read them. Holy crap, these just kicked my butt and my lower chain is lit up in a good way, lol. One question what do you recommend for reps/sets of each?
Obviously not him but I do have a degree in exercise science and have studied this a lot on my own. I fit these in as a double on hard days. Example would be a tempo run in the am and strength type work in the pm. 1-2 days a week works for me but I have a physical labor job. If you have a non physical job I'd say 2-3 days a week.
Sounds like you advocate these types of strength exercises over gym sessions doing squats, deadlifts, etc. with weights on the grounds that the latter are slow-motioned and do not closely mimic the running movement. Do you advise gym-type strength work with weights for ultra runners for example as a basis for rehab from an injury? Thanks so much for all the knowledge and help you have provided to me through your videos and I'm sure to so many others. Best regards
This is really helpful to me. At this time my old body can't do these moves the way you've demonstrated but I can do modified versions while keeping the form that you are describing and demonstrating. I think it will be really helpful in the warmup; will get my old joints and blood flowing haha :)
Focus on the simple ones like hopping and get better thru time. These are building strength and skill, so it is always a progression and a mindset of life long improvement.

The sweet spot is between 8-15 reps. Keep them successful and with good form, more is not always better, better is better.
When would you suggest fitting these into your schedule? On quality days or easy days? How often should I do them? 1, 2 or 3 days per week?
