RJT's - Run and Turn

Organisation

• Place cones at varying distances in a straight line
• Sprint out and around each multimarker before turning and running back to starting marker

Key Points

• Start in correct stance position, i.e. knees and back slightly bent,left foot and right arm out in front, head down
• Use short strides when turning and longer strides when running in a straight line
• Swing arms to build speed
• Use your front foot as a brake to stop by driving it hard into the floor in front of you
• Lower your hips as you stop to aid balance
• Stop quickly in a ‘strong’ position by bending your arms at the elbows
• When stopping with your right foot forward, your left arm should be forward and vice versa
