AVOID THESE RUNNING HABITS!! ❌❌ Remember the key is efficiency so that you can get faster and stay healthy! Check in on your form, and let me know if you have ANY QUESTIONS! 🫶🫶🫶

Tired when you run? TRY THIS!!! ✨ If you try it and it helps, let me know!

While cadence is only one aspect of speed, it’s a fun one! ✨🙌 my top speed cadence is around 245 SPM. For reference, Usain Bolt’s cadence was near 260 SPM, but that turnover with those strides??? He’d lap me in a 200 😂👏 What’s your vote: cadence or stride length?

This jump is my new party trick! 🥳 A little BTS of me filming my favorite Chari Jump!! 🙌 These were all taken on my @Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra -- Pretty impressive! 👏👏👏 Can you do this Chari Jump!? I want to hear about it in the comments! 😂use #ExploreGalaxy so I don't miss it!! #SamsungPartner  #Galaxy25Ultra”

“Okay but what are these and why am I doing them??” LETS TALK ABOUT IT! ✅❤️✨ I remember the day I learned that drills are not just fancy ways to warm up- and it was a lot later in my career than I’d like to admit 😂👍 But honestly, it changed so much for me. Just like in life, knowing your WHY for the drills you do allows you to be more purposeful in every step. Do I believe that doing the drills without understanding will still help? YES I DO 🫶 Do I also believe that knowing why will get you there faster, better, and help make you actually want to do it??YEPP!!!👏👏👏 Love you, have a beautiful day- do your drills! ❤️❤️❤️🥰👏

TREADMILL RUNNING FORM! This ✅ Not that ❌ with @NordicTrack Remember: ✅Keep your chin and eyes neutral- looking down throws off your center of gravity ❌ ✅ Shoulders down and relaxed- tight shoulders are exhausting ❌ ✅Hips tall and core slightly engaged- tilted hips cause knee, back, joint, hip, and allll other sorts of issues ❌ You’ve got this! Go try these for your next tread workout! ✨

Running IS SO NATURAL! So let’s bring it back down to basics and use a couple tips to get you back to running! ✨ . What “running tip” has helped your form the most!? @Brooks Running #letsrunthere

A forward lean in running is such a simple concept, but one that we might not do right if we don’t fully understand it , so I want to help illustrate it better 🫶✨ Quick tip: lean at the ankles, not the hips ✨💪✅ . Now go try it out on your next run and let me know if it was helpful! HAPPY RUNNING ❤️❤️❤️ What is your FAVORITE run tip you’ve ever heard?

Speed switch drill: add some instability! ✨👏 This drill is amazing for so many things when it comes to speed: ✅quickness off the ground ✅core and hip activation ✅speed in length with extended knee drive A great drill you can do anywhere! Give it a try!

This beautiful warm weather is saving me a lot of time and laundry 😂✨ Would you rather run in hot summers or cold winters? 🥵 🥶

I straight up spent an hour doing drills the other day. I had so much fun too 👏😂🙌 . I always emphasize drills because they improve form and muscle memory, but the truth is that they are also really helpful to improve fitness, and I implement longer warm up’s to help me “get in shape” at the beginning of my training cycles. 💪 . So next time you do drill and it feels tiring, don’t worry- that’s a good thing ✌️

Reasons I do A-Skips: ✨Muscle memory for correct running posture ✨Helps with everyday posture as well ✨Strengthen hip flexion for better performance ✨ “Make running easier” buy having correct positioning be second nature Happy National Sunglasses Day ☀️😎 can’t go today without a shoutout to my faves @Blenders

Something about a dynamic movement for real 🙌✨👏 . Benefits: 🔄 Prepares the body for movement 🧠 Improves range of motion 🏃‍♀️Improves power, speed, and agility ⚠️ Reduces risk of injury 🧘 Promotes better movement patterns I always feel better when I’m incorporating it into my routine ❤️ give it a try!

Running on soft surfaces is sooo good for you, but when you’re training on harder surfaces, make it count!

A Running Analysis- fast running form vs. slow running form ✨

Today’s lesson is this: NEVER be the one to underestimate you. 👏 . After 2021, I said, out loud, into my tear-soaked pillow, “I’ll never be an Olympian…I can’t believe it. I failed.” 2 things I want to tell baby 2021 Chari: 1) The Olympics is a goal. Not making it hurts, but it does NOT affect your worth, your humanity, or your value on this earth. It’s cool. That’s it. 2) Who says?????? Hmmmmm???? You want it? Go get it, babe… Lock in. Turns out baby Char learned that lesson eventually ☺️✨

Let’s talk about FOOT STRIKE! 👏 thoughts??????

How to: FAST LEG DRILL! One of my favorite warm up drills EVER! Activation, speed, and coordination all wrapped up into one drill!

3 of my favorite dynamic stretches ✨👏🤸‍♀️ I remember I went home and made my dad stretch against his will, and the next day he said “Ah crap”. When I asked what was wrong he said: “My back feels better from the stretching…” 😂😂😂 sometimes it’s a hassle, but it’s SO IMPORTANT for our health and longevity! Do you stretch every day? Would you??

One of the quickest ways to get faster- POWER SKIPS 👏 ✨They force you to push off the ground quickly ✨They activate the fast muscle fibers (don’t do this drill cold) ✨They put your feet underneath your hips ✨They build up the fibers to handle both speed and power I love this drill. Give it a try at the end of your next warm up routine!
