If you want to improve running mechanics, then the use of mini hurdles (sometimes called banana, low, or micro hurdles) on a regular basis will enhance speed, power, and agility. It is advised to practice all agility drills at half speed initially. Once you are comfortable with the footwork, you can increase the speed. Ultimately, your aim should be to do the drill as quickly as possible. The following are instructions for performing the high knee drill with mini hurdles:
Place approximately 6 to 10 hurdles about 20 inches apart. Run through each hurdle with a high knee lift. As you run, try to emphasize the high knee lift technique. Be sure to use the same lead leg as you work your way through each mini hurdle. Both feet should land between each hurdle during the run. Finally, repeat the drill with the opposite leg as a lead.
