Acceleration – Glider Drill with Jeff Galloway

I am Olympian Jeff Galloway distance training expert and official training consultant for Run Disney. So, you have gotten off the bench like a good athlete and started running, congratulations! But now you want to get faster. I have got a drill that will not only improve speed that allow you to shift gears during a race it’s called the Acceleration Glider drill let’s hit the pavement. So, as you can see I am jogging slowly for about ten steps. Now I am jogging a little faster for about ten steps. Now, I am accelerating for about twenty five steps little faster not a sprint. And now I am gliding, coasting, gradually slowing down. In Review, the acceleration allows you to improve speed and the ability to shift gears during a race. The glad allows you to improve efficiency.
