100 Up? - Anybody doing it?

[Jaqa]

Hi Guys! Is anybody doing 100 Up? If so, did it help? Loath to add more "complications" to my week.

Im doing it 4 month. Went till 250-300 ups. Then started to feel pain in hip joint. Doing rare now.
I think 100 ups good, if you can ran around 3 min pace and need to lift knees higher for that pace.
I running around 5 min/km pace and trying to run soft barefoot.

I do it a couple of times per week as a hip/ankle/balance drill. I try to stick each landing and not wobble, shift, or adjust. I pause after each to make it harder to cheat.

Yes, most every week day morning as I wait for my shaving water to get hot. I stop at 110 or so and focus on my posture and toe pointing.

Thank you for the replies. Seems like only a minute or 2, so could fit it in.

What sort of results are people seeing from doing this?
Anyone noticed any difference in stride length or cadence? I'm finding it hard to balance the two this year for some reason, it's a bit like i'm caught between two stride patterns.
Might just be that my aerobic capacity has increased and my stride length has got a bit tight.

Hi. I've seen some posts here in the past, if you want to search for them. They might be helpful too.

I do the 100 minor (slow cadence) as my first warm up drill to get my mind thinking about a good foot landing. Can't say that form and whatnot has improved because of the 100s only because I started barefooting and doing actual warm ups all at the same time. My old MO was to simply roll out of bed, into shoes, and on the road

Once again, thanks for the replies!
Been doing it and it has helped with leg drive. Maybe it just reinforces the thought in my mind before I run?? But it does work.
