Great video. I love the progression. As a coach, I hadn't thought about it that way. I'd add two key focuses: 1)Push off as quickly as you can when you land; 2)Think about hang time. While not something you want when running, where forward is better than up, but good here to get that powerful pop.
Thanks man very effective drills,, i 've started to incorporate Lydiard Hill bounds for almost one year now and I've never experienced Achilles tendons pain since. and i fell more powerful too..,. unfortunately i got into an it band issue s 4 weeks ago due to a long run and now i can't do those drills until the pain is gone hope very soon
Love the video! I think it would make it more complete to show a longer cut of the real-drill. It's hard to get a feel for the cadence and rhythm of the drills in the slow-mo. Thank you for sharing though!
Thanks Stephen, sorry we didn't offer longer a longer cut of the real-drill speed. I can see how that would be useful. Key for these is finding a good rythem and focusing on power and form. If you do that, the cadence should come together for you. Best of luck!
I'm sure I've done these, but on a flat. I suppose the incline makes them slightly more challenging. I'll try and incorporate them more often. Thank you Average Running PT for the recommendation! :)
Thanks for your time and instructions! I am in the hill phase of my schedule using Lydiard’s plan. You mentioned the repetitions lasting seconds and not the 3 to 4 minutes in his plan. Can you add color to that please? Is that if you are using it as a year around alactic activity?
Hey Gene, you're welcome! Living in Florida, we do not have hills lasting longer than around 90 seconds. In my training and coaching, I've used these more as a tool for strength training and technique building year round rather than for building lactate tolerance. I think their are likely benefits using them for shorter bursts and then also as Lydiard did for for longer durations in the the offseason from racing.
Hye Luis, that really depends on your training and goals. They are a great way to create power and strength in the off-season. I've found that 2-3 sets of each exercise work well once you get the form down. The focus is form and power and not so much on endurance and total time run.
@@teamfloridatrackclub3383 thanks for the advice! I did the hills this morning and it went very good ,i just finish my base phase last week and entered to strenght phase so this hill exercises will help a lot.👍
In my experience, they can be helpful as a form of strength training throughout the year if you do them as drills with less repeats. Think 1-2 x up the hill with each variation with walking rest rest of 1-2 min between each. Focusing more on form and power than an aerobic workout. But if you want to do this as a longer workout with running between then I would recommend having a base and doing this during your strength/ endurance phase of training.

Adam, I'm gald you enjoyed the video! I agree with your key points, key for building power and leg stiffness!
This is a good clip for explanation of uphill bounding in detail. Thanks for creating a great video.
Glad you found value in the video and thank you for the comment! Much appreciated and good luck with your hill drills!
One of my favorite exercises! I have been doing these a lot lately.
Fantastic demonstration. Thank you.
If you ever get around to it I'd appreciate a clip of rear view and front view with these bounds.
Thank You very useful Enoch.

The incline takes them from more of a form and technique-based drill and adds in power and strength work.

How many of each one?

@@CanoRunner Glad to hear!
Can these exercises be used throughout the year (once a week) or only after building the base?
