ONe way in a pinch is to...
Get your take off at the plant a plum line for now from the top handgrip to the toe of the take off foot.
Place foot on this mark and run the step back to a suitable take off.
This will give you a start point for now..
I always during my every day walking try to select spot in front of me and see if I can walk so my take off foot lands on the crack in the concrete of a mark on the walk way. Doing this will mentally set you for the same during the approach, as you program yourself to develop a proper run..
start with 4 lefts them add as you progress.
Good luck hope this little drill will line you up. It is better than a stab in the dark!!!
