We need more videos like this and clinics to help racewalkers. I ran for 49 years until I wore out the cartilage in my right hip (if you run enough miles and enough distance over time, something will wear out). I accidentally discovered racewalking, and while I can't run any longer, I can do this. Albeit, not very fast or well. Billyoungberg is spot on: racewalking is far more difficult than running, but doesn't beat up your body nearly as much. I attended one of Dave McGovern's clinics, and it was very helpful. The issue here is that I am probably the only racewalker in my zip code and there are no racewalking groups around (there used to be a handful of them a generation ago, but no more). The only way I can see how I am doing is by competing, which I started doing at the annual Pasadena (CA) senior games. If there was a clinic locally (Los Angeles area), I'd go. Currently debating if I can do the 10K distance. I'm slow, old, and I don't know how much on my feet time this body can handle with all of the previous running injuries I've had. Plus, getting tired leads to bad form and DQ, and would rather not deal with that again.

Now i know why i walk slow it's because of my hip rotation thank you!!

Very beneficial for race walkers

Great 👍😃

So funny that all the beliefs we have or had about racewalk shoes have now been turned on their heads and most fast racewalkers are wearing shoes with a ½ or full plate in them

Great interview.

there is lose of contact I observed at the beggning of the race

Very well put together video with clear explanations. I am over 72 now but was a competitive racewalker from 1985 to 2010 winning many awards. My 5k times were close to 28 to 29 minutes and my fastest half marathon was 2 hours and 10 minutes. I did a one mile race in 8 and a half minutes. Racewalking is a tough discipline and much harder than running but much less of an impact on your body. Thanks again for a great video.

Never hyperextens the knees in gait

Please answer each vedio, which type of violetions.

Hello sir I am doing race walk professionally since last year but lack of technique I got foul in from my right knee and my competition is near suggest me drills to get my technique improve soon

Who knew that Race Walking actually #ROCKS!!!

So I was at a 5k last Saturday and I've been trying to run a bit, but I have a terrible left knee and it hurt too badly this time for any running. I started doing a weird half-run/walk thing and just found out it was kind of a form of race walking! Now I want to learn to actually do it correctly so I can make better times on my 5ks without damaging my knee (lower impact). Thanks for this video!!!

Wow thank you

Is wearing shoes will help in racewalking

In Canada, we will have to face the same problems, if Evan Dunfee does not plan to go to L.A. 2028. Allen, I like your way of talking. Please stay motivated and fight to win the USA RW battle. Thanks Jeff for this brillant idea of interviewing people with a clear view towards what is coming up.

Great stuff!

A great lesson.

Nice video.... Sir

Lots of great ideas. Thank you Allen and Jeff for this interview.

Thank you, I’m going to order the book. Shipping to UK might be interesting 😅

This is the absolute stupidest thing I have ever seen I mean honestly man

Ty for the tips

By the way #245 is Phil Mcgaw 4'th place finisher

Race walking is good. But this channel is just stupid

most of the people in this video are actually cleaner than olympic athletes.

Such a sham of a sport, you can run as long as it's undetectable to the human eye, the judges don't use slo-mo cameras - they should have sensors in their shoes.

excellent content thank you

Seems like it would have been a whole lot easier if they just left the rule like the old days….keep contact

I watched so many “Olympians” trying to explain it and they are not even close to this video! Thanks so much!

How many times should you do this in a drill?

Grazie 💜

No (foot) double contact, so none are really "walking"?

I bet this is so much easier on the joints than running l!

What about 2024 please?

Dudes jogging.

Amazing style,iv'e always wondered what is his stride length moving at this speed.

Around 80% of race walkers are RUNNING at some point of the race. It's just a matter of who can cheat more undetected. This is a joke, not a sport. They don't even get disqualified when they are detected cheating, just getting a yellow card for "air time" that is RUNNING!

Great intro! Well done!

Wow! So cool this footage exists, great commentary. Nice "walk" down memory lane.

es la perfeccion en la marcha-estilo-.

This is so helpful as I'm trying to search for the how to. I've been running for 40 yrs but just turning to racewalking recently due to non stop injuries I've got for more than a year. This racewalk is giving me the ability to keep myself active like I used to be but at the same time still need to work on the new walking technique. I find there are more running coaches than walking coaches! I used to be a running coach myself. Really appreciate this clip.

I am going to get into this! Someone watching this like me is going to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Lol thanks for the explanation but this is so fucking stupid 😂

Very well explained, thank you

just watched euro championship and they were cheating so much.

Thanks much! Very helpful!👍🏻👍🏻
