A physio goes through a series of drills when treating injured bodies, all aimed at increasing the range of movement.
I have never heard of Gerald Mach, the only drills I have seen are speed dynamics and when I started using them 15+ years ago the athletes ran slower and started getting injured. Doing a drill for the sake of *** is a waste of time. I stopped using stretches and replaced them with exercises/drills and have not had an athlete get injured because of doing so.
I used a few simple rules, muscles don’t stretch, balance is important, start the drill slow finish the drill slow. Drills are a motor skill, running fast is a series of motorskills at speed.
CF.com is the best recourse for running fast that I have come across and a thank’s to nanny69 for pointing me here.
Speed dynamics took several of Mach’s drills, and aded some crazy one. Charlie’s favorite was the suitcase! I remember on a visit to see him we laughed so hard about the suitcase.
