@@ggirl6650 Yes. Any of our styles will work well for power walking. What terrain do you spend the most time on?

@@ReshodWalkingShoes cement pavement.

@ggirl6650 Any style but the Pushover 3. That one is built for mainly track or treadmill use. The black shoes are on sale. The blue or red styles are low on inventory but will be restocked November 26th.

@jarlsparkley Good question. Most of the official racewalk events have a flat course. However, you can enter some road races for runners that might have a racewalk division, and in those cases, you could have hills. Check out my hill training video for tips on training for hills.

@gerard2620 So glad the video is helpful. Have you tried Reshod Walking Shoes? They're designed for the heel toe Walking gait. You can find them at www.reshod.com. I also offer written technique critiques. You can order that at the same site. That way, I can see you walk and help figure out what might be straining your hamstring.

@@Francisco-o7f8g luego pasa al video RW 102

@democraticpatriot2657 Yes, in those instances, you can mix it up. I tell my athletes to use the style that gives them the best advantage for the terrain. If it's flat, racewalk. When an uphill is too steep to keep your pace, powerwalk till you get to the downhill. You are smart to plan using both methods of fast walking. All the best in your next road race.

Yes, you can find them at: reshod.com/shop/training-services/

@t_r_s21 Then you'll want to get the shirt I'm wearing in the video...If racewalking were easy, it would be called running. 😆

@ogdumplings8196 Sometimes, videos get distorted for some reason. Ask a computer expert. They can help you get the right proportions.

@JudithOrmond Wow, that's terrific. Thank you so much for sharing your race report. Have you tried the Reshod Walking Shoes yet? I designed them to compliment your heel-toe gait and put an extra bounce in your step. They are on sale at www.reshod.com.

Welcome to the wonderful world of walking. I don't have a preference as to the technique you should use. The racewalk gait requires more flexibility in the hips, so if that works for you, go for it. If not, power walking is a very valid option. The RW101 video has tips you can use for either mode and talks about how to transition your training at the very end. I recommend you stick to flat terrain until you get the hang of it. Otherwise, you might develop some bad habits to compensate for the angle of the ground. The 6-7 hour marathon seems reasonable. Have you tried the Reshod Walking Shoes? If not, please consider getting a pair for training and racing. The Pushovers are designed to enhance the heel-toe rolling motion. www.reshod.com

@@ReshodWalkingShoes thank you for the tips! I’ll try both the racewalking and power walking techniques and see which one suits me better. I’ll consider Reshod shoes; they sound good and have a nice look. My shoe of choice for the past few years has been Brooks Beast; they give me great cushion and support, which I need as a heavier guy with flat, wide feet and bunions. And they are quite durable. What type of support does Reshod offer in comparison? Do the Pushovers also good cushion and support for someone with my type of feet?

@eburney68 I still don't make wide widths, but when I do, I hope you'll give them a try.

@@thuggoe How so?

@@ReshodWalkingShoes hip movements look extreme

@@thuggoe It probably looks that way because they are moving so quickly. However, they stay within the normal range of motion. Give it a try. It's fun!

@@jamesburian5203 Yep. That's what I've noticed from coaching walkers. Have you tried the Reshod Walking Shoes? They are designed to support the heel toe motion and might give you a better propulsion what you power walk.

I have not tried any specific shoes for my power walking. My current shoes are neutral. Any recommendations. I don't mind if shoe is heavier if it has more cushion.

@@jamesburian5203 www.reshod.com. It's my brand. I created them specifically for fast walking or fitness walking or casual walking. Check them out.

@@DougBeach-q1m There's no bias. I'm just not great at it. That being said, I coach walkers who DO powerwalk very efficiently and hope to showcase them in a future video. Stay tuned!

Half of my athletes are power walkers these days. If you go to my website, you'll see that I offer powerwalking technique classes. I'm not sure about the other coaches. Remember that powerwalking is a relatively new sport. Please allow it to take root before passing judgment. 😀

@weedermann Yep. Racewalking offers more race opportunities and more risk for penalties. I guess it's a matter of what motivates you. Are you a risk taker?

@@ReshodWalkingShoes Costs practicality. The Pan-American Masters in Cleveland would have cost $225 registration plus airfare and lodging. That is A LOT of money to spend to run the risk of getting DQ'd. I'll be at the Huntsman Senior Games in Utah, come October to powerwalk.

@@weedermann Agreed. Get some local judged races without a DQ before spending money on travel.

@@dannhu4248 Thanks! Welcome to the racewalk world. I'm so glad the video is helpful. All the best in your racewalk pursuit.

My pleasure. All the best in your walking program.

Good question. Some coaches don't teach the hip drop, but I do because it helps new walkers engage the glute for a powerful stride.

Yes, backward walking works different muscles. It's great to do with your walking drills. I've never walked backward for more than 50 meters, so if you try that, let me know what you think.

@@ReshodWalkingShoesGood morning! I usually try backward walking when I take my morning and evening long walks. When you walk backward, you step on the ground with your toes I mean with the front part of your feet and this makes feel my feet and legs relaxed and massaged. Backward walking relieves of your leg pain muscle. Your calves get massaged and I have to admit that you feel a bit pain on your back if are not used to backward walking. The pain on your back passes soon untill You get used to backward walking. These are what I felt and experienced while backward walking. But I would also add that it is a lot of fun and improves your balance and coordination.

Either is a great way to get fit. Enjoy!

Do you compete?

@@ReshodWalkingShoes no. I just do it for fitness

What size do you wear?

Thank you coach😊

Great. I didn't invent the workout...just passing them along. 😀

​@@ReshodWalkingShoesnice one... this video remember my school memories... Thank you coach 🍫🍫🍫

Hi Nick, thanks for your comments. There are other videos on this channel that can help you walk faster. I believe the right shoes make a big difference. That's why I launched Reshod Walking Shoes. You can learn more and order a pair at www.reshod.com.

That's terrific! What type of suggestions are you looking for? Do you work with a coach?

Thanks for posting your comments. I was about 24 years old when I started racewalking. I hope you'll get hooked on the sport, too.

@@ReshodWalkingShoes Yeah I wanted to try something new as a workout because I have a bad neck since I had an injury and I really enjoyed racewalking. Guess I'll be seeing your channel more often haha. Thank you for the quality content!

Chi walking has many of the same cues I give to racewalkers when I teach technique. As far as I know, it's not a specific category for competition, but many walkers follow that method.

Great idea. I wish you all the best in the rehab of your Achilles. Thanks for your comments.

Yeah! I'm so glad to hear that you are using this with your students. The next one will be helpful for pairing a faster walker with a slower one. Keep an eye out for it.

I'll check. What part of Oklahoma?

I'll try to come up with a general training plan but workout details differ between athletes depending on age, training base, current 5km time, etc. I always make sure a walker has good technique before incorporating speed training.

Thanks for your comments. I've added that topic to my "to-do" list.

I think it might! Give it a try.

Yes, I am doing that! Thank you!

Thank you for your comments. I have many functional movement videos on this channel that are intended to help prevent injuries, but I'll certainly add that topic to my list of upcoming videos. Do you have any injuries in mind? High hamstring injuries appear to be the most common in my experience as a coach. What level are you training and racing?

@@ReshodWalkingShoes yes, I've recently moved over from running to racewalking (trying to), since i was getting repetitive stress related injuries. Such as shin splints, stress fractures. At times my plantar fascia would get inflamed too. You could explain if all these injuries are possible in racewalking too, probability of these happening in racewalking relative to running, and preventive/prehab measures than one could take

@@RudraNaik If you were getting repetitive injuries from running, I am concerned that you might have some postural dysfunction. I recommend that you check in with a functional movement therapist or Physical Therapist. Both running and racewalking are activities that require a balance of strength and flexibility. When joints are not properly aligned, athletes tend to suffer injuries such as the ones you listed. Once you're properly aligned, your body will be more efficient in your motion, and you'll probably be faster. I hope you'll be able to enjoy both activities pain-free!

@@ReshodWalkingShoes thank you! I've been consulting a few therapists but none of them have been able to conclusively eliminate the injuries.. Nonetheless, looking forward to more content on your channel

@@RudraNaik Try the PTX Therapy app. I've heard good things about it.

Great question! There are instances where an athlete can gain an advantage in racewalking with a slight knee bend, which tends to look like a hybrid of the two styles. At this time, the rule makers want to see a clear distinction in race walk competition.

@@ReshodWalkingShoes Could you please tell the deeper reason why such slight knee bending is not allowed? Isn't Race Walking more about the evolution of walking fast itself than about referees and strict rules which lead nowhere?

Jeff Salvage at www.racewalk.com is a better person to answer this question. He's a racewalk judge who knows that side of the sport very well.

@@ReshodWalkingShoes Right now I would love your insight as a professional racewalker :)

@@mstreamm Power walking and race walking are two different styles. Athletic events that involve racing against another person for time are generally done separately. For example, XC skiing has two styles: classic and skate skiing. They are held as separate events. In swimming, you can race from one end of the pool to another in various modes: freestyle, backstroke, etc. but they are contested as separate divisions within the sport. The same is true in walking races. You can be a power walker or a race walker, but they are separate divisions.
