Start by kneeling on one leg, having the front foot just behind the start line. Place the opposite hand on the ground in-line with the front foot. Lift the elbow of the free arm backward so that it mimics the position of arm drive during sprinting. When the athlete is ready, lift the back knee off the ground so that the front knee is at a 90-degree angle. Initiate the first step by pushing off the front leg and fully extending the hip, knee and ankle. Keep the head down and maintain a forward lean initially, and gradually allow the athletes posture to rise vertically.
