Speed, Agility, Quickness Ladder Drills for Runners (Part One)

The idea of the ladder drills is to create a progression of drills that will help runners to improve their speed, agility, and quickness.

The first drill is a simple one that helps runners with their speed. It is called the “Single Leg” drill and it starts with running on one leg for 20 meters, then switching legs for 10 meters, then repeating this process for 20 meters and so on until you reach 400 meters.

This ladder drill helps runners develop greater speed in their stride by increasing the time they spend on each leg. It also helps them maintain balance while running at high speeds.
