Place five cones in a line on a hill, 3 on the left and 2 on the right at 2, 2 ½, 3, 3 ½ and 4 feet apart. You can vary the distance based on your stride length. Sprint up the hill using the cones as markers for each foot strike.

Coaching Point: From the start, bring your foot up, then drive it into the ground so each stride gets progressively longer. Don’t start with a huge step—you’ll lose power. You want movement in your ankles, and motion and power in your feet.
