Reading though a descriptive book that teaches about how to survive in the wild is just one thing but experiencing it is a totally different story. However, certain running drills and training will give you an outstanding edge even in the face emergency. Watching a documentary where the guide lights fire without matches is certainly mesmerizing and convinces us that it’s not a big deal but have you ever tried doing that in a dense rain-soaked forest. Surely, it’s not easy, read on to find out why!
Understanding the rule of threes
For any possible survival situation, just remember the rule of threes. First of all, it needs to be remembered that the bug out bag is not a single unit but a collection of several kits that can help you meet several challenges of varying danger and criticality. Tackling your way will help you forge towards safety.
The rule of threes will guide you through. It states that you can live
- Three minutes without air
- Three hours without any shelter
- Three days without taking water
- Three weeks without any food
- Three months without hope
Having said that, let’s discuss some running drills that will help you survive in times of critical danger.
Shin grab drills
Shin grab drill plays its role in glut mobility and is recommended prior to a running session. This simple exercise requires raising your knee up to the chest with both hands while standing straight.
Straight leg bounds drill
Every runner has his own length of stride. Usually, the tall runners tend to have a bigger stride. Short runners and all athletes in general can increase their stride with straight leg bounds drill. Moreover, this routine fire up the muscles in gluts, ankles, and hamstring and hip flexors. Ever seen a girl skipping down the lane? Same idea!
Quick steps drill
The purpose of this drill is to promote sharp and purposeful movements. Since every step cannot be forceful, the runner must try to make sharp strides with every third step. This is what I call the quick step.
