Quadruped hip extension (aka, Donkey kicks) is a fairly simple yet versatile drill that can aid the transition from ground based movements into upright gait.

Congrats to all that competed and to the six athletes that earned spots on the Olympic Team at Olympic Trials last weekend! We had a great weekend supporting friends in the race and meeting coaching colleagues from around the world. USATF and the Houston Marathon Committee set up a great course for spectating, which allowed us to see the athletes at multiple points along the course. Couldn't have asked for a better setup.
