WEBSITE WILL BE CHANGING OVER THIS WEEKEND. SORRY FOR ANY INTERRUPTIONS.

3-23-08 Rest Day

Over the holiday break Tanya and Josh attended a seminar/meeting on POSE RUNNING in OC MD. Here are some tips for Correct Pose.
  • "Do Not run Heal to Toe"
  • Land on the middle of your foot and transition to the ball of your foot (when finished running your calves should have completed a lot of the work)
  • Look straight ahead (should not be able to see your foot/toe during strides)
  • Tighten your abs but continue to breathe
  • Torso should be slightly leaning forward (Let gravity pull your body, let your legs catch you)
  • Concentrate on pulling up your back foot rather than pushing off and straighting your back leg. (Both knees should remain slightly bent during an entire run)
  • Back foot should be relaxed when elevated from the ground
  • Mid running stance should resemble a Figure-4 within 1-2 camera frames after your back foot has left the ground on the pull
  • Arms should remain close to the body with a relaxed swing (relaxed shoulders,cover your boobs)
The cadence of an average run should produce 90 left foot strides (count each time your left foot hits the ground) within a 400m run. (75s-85s) They make a device that beeps forcing you to try and keep up with your left foot hitting the ground on each signal.

Its Best to video yourself then watch it in slow motion moving 1 frame at a time to see your technique.

Tanya and Josh Filmed there run then critiqued it themselves.
