# [Basketball Drills: Runners Workout with DJ Sackmann](https://blog.drdishbasketball.com/basketball-drills-runners-workout-with-dj-sackmann)

In this sequence, our partner and elite skills trainer, [DJ Sackmann](https://www.djsackmann.com/), demonstrates a progression of runners off of both feet using the [Dr. Dish CT](https://www.drdishbasketball.com/ct) in the Dish Lab.

The runner is a difficult shot to master but can be incredibly effective especially when finishing over taller defenders. Game situations call for different footwork and DJ breaks down a great sequence of how to work on different runners to simulate those game scenarios.

In the first drill, DJ focuses on shooting off the outside foot which might be a little awkward for many players at first. In the 2nd drill he goes off the more standard inside foot. Last, he uses a "pinball" action to simulate a ball screen to get downhill. From there he executes a runner in the lane in a more game-like scenario.

Make sure to apply the fundamentals that DJ talks about in the video in order to progress faster.

Using Dr. Dish is a perfect way to work on runners/floaters as the the net simulates a long defender protecting the rim.
