Speed - How to Master

HOW TO MASTER THE TECHNIQUE AND SCORE HIGHLY ON THE TEST

Here are two key factors to learn to score highly on the test.

1. How to keep your body - centre of gravity - low in order to turn quickly. To do this it is necessary for you to bend your knees and lean forward when changing direction.

2. How to accelerate quickly away from the turns. To do this you should follow this advice:

Keep your head still (don’t shake it from side to side).

Lift your knees when running.

Swing your arms backwards and forwards not across your body.
