bowling run up

Cricket Spectator
hi im a 14 year old boy fast bowler.
i struggle with my runup
its very inconsistant
my set amount of paces is 14
some times i bowl 12 or 11 or 13 or 15
i cant keep it to 14 any tips on that. and how to keep my runup the exact same every time. i think i might extend my runup

i have a video on the coaching forum. Everyone i know says my pace is only from my arm. And i need to get a rythem the same speed everytime i runup and a faster jump
too get more pace and better accuracy any tips?

International Regular
Well, these threads should be in the coaching forum anyway. Otherwise, read this:

'If you are struggling to find a regular rhythm, try this exercise:
to into an empty field with no obstacles nearby and from a marked point,
do a full run-up with your eyes closed. Imagine you are an old steam
engine looking to build momentum. Walk two or thre paces,
start to jog and gradually build up to about three quarter speed,
thinking of the sound and action of a steam train as you are running.
I have used this method many many times,
and it still works wonders in bringing out smoothness.' (Dennis Lillee1955)
