The running ABC is a special form of coordination exercises and helps to improve running style. The easy-to-perform exercises promote mobility and muscular balance.
The running ABC should be familiarised with using various running exercises in smaller groups. It is advisable to keep the upper body, and especially the head, upright during all exercises. The running ABC should be carried out with concentration and in a rested state. You should start with slow and technically clean movements. After a few repetitions, the speed of the steps can be increased.
