from “Boost your running form with triathlete tim don’s top drills,exclusively on asics india”
by Asics2022
The aim of this drill is also to increase stride frequency and improve knee lift for when you need to pick up the pace. Bum Kicks are similar to high knee running but with the emphasis on the hamstrings and the recovery stage of your stride
Start by jogging slowly then increase your stride rate, aiming to get your feet moving as quickly as you can and swinging your lower leg up behind you.Your heel should literally be hitting your bum.

Continue for about 20 metres. This one you will feel in your hamstrings so you may need to stretch them slightly afterwards to recover
