@reisezume2157 no not quite. Check out my Podcast episode where I talk to racewalk geeks and an academic about what is walking, running and racewalking. It's not that simple and no if someone's foot comes off the ground, it does not mean they are running, it means their foot came off the ground. There is some grey area.... like is a slow runner who basically shuffles and maintains one foot on the ground at all times...a walker? I see where you and others are coming from - but racewalking is somewhere between running walking 😀

@BlazerLz go check out his full reel. Wanted to get people's attention. May do one myself. Such a common question and comment. Racewalking requires a straight leg when heel makes contact and as it passes under the body, unique hip movement to accommodate this and forward and back hip movement to help drive legs forward and push from the back foot, relies heavily on the hamstrings and also requires you to try and maintain contact with one foot at all times....as judged by human eye of a judge...thus allowing some loss of contact (a few mm/ms of loss) when racewalkers are going fast. Too much loss of contact leads to red cards and DQ. Goal is allow racewalkers to be human but to push them to try and maintain contact as much as possible. This is what makes the sport hard - adhering to rules while pushing the limit - walkers work to refine there technique to be fast and efficient and low to the ground.

@@asifanisakhp thanks for that well thought comment.

@BlckgalAnointed hi! Really hard to evaluate or advise without seeing your feet. If you have flat feet due to overpronation (arch collapsing) a stable shoe can help but you may need an insole or an orthotic. If you have questions about your feet go to a Pedorthist, Podiatrist or a knowledgeable shoe guy at a running shop.

@TalkingRacewalking Okay, thank you for responding! I live in Cincinnati, so things are a little hard to find, but I'll look. I had a podiatrist when I was a child but would have to find a new one.

@@BlckgalAnointed feel free to reach out anytime - on Twitter @CRacewalking and Instagram at @CanadianRacewalking 😀

@@TalkingRacewalking Yes, of course!!

@zakymaa super shoes with a thick stack height are worn by some elites but generally most will advise something with a low drop and not too thick a midsole (especially at the heel). Main thing is to have a shoe that helps you roll smoothly from heel to toe and works with your racewalk technique and pace - and that fits your foot properly and feels comfortable.

@escoffier1967 I am sorry you feel that way - please feel free to avoid my channel, video and contents.

@escoffier1967 please keep these type of moments to yourself. Not appreciated and unfounded.

@@littlebigguy4528 I am Mr. Clean - owner of the channel and sharing a friend's (Ian Whatley) short video. It's the best way of remixing and showing the full short video 😀

@barbbroad7130 yes footwear for running or racewalking is very individual. For racewalkers there seem to be some common shoe requirements but now the super shoes have called that into question perhaps..?

It's all about moving and staying active and doing what works best for you! Many people choose racewalking as a lower impact option. Happy Walking!

Tokyo Olympics!

Some loss of contact is accepted but if a judge sees too much or too often they get a warning, then red cards and can be disqualified.

Seriously. Blue was straight jogging.

@ryanrobertson7218 she was definitely getting some air time - we agree, it's not running but she had some clear loss of contact that the international judges should have caught. In the final hundred or so meters- judges can outright DQ a walker.

Thanks! This was a few years ago after only a few months of trying to learn the technique 😀

This wasn't even for the win, it was for the bronze medal 😅

Thanks for the comment and advice! I have improved alot since that first timetrial- but I am sure as you know - always ways to improve!

​@@TalkingRacewalking If you would like short, medium or long term help, I can offer you free advices. I became a NCCP (National Coaching Certification Program) formed coach, on May 23, 2024. I paid 6 hours of extra training specific to RW, at a very high rate, to better what I already knew. I had the chance to be coached (in 2007) by Enrique Pena who coached Jefferson Perez (20 km RW Gold Medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games). I also trained 2 weeks alongside Philip Dunn (3 times 50 km RW olympian) and John Nunn (3 times 20 km RW olympian). In 2007, I set the Canadian RW record over 50 km in the 45-49 y.o. age group. In 2007, I also won the gold medal, at the MAC/USATF 2007 - 20K Race Walk Championship in Central Park, New-York. So, I think I know a bit ;-) You can contact me, either by phone (514-208-5410) or by e-mail (lucbussieres2004@yahoo.ca). Have fun !

Love it!!

I have their super shoe from a few years back and it's not bad - I would imagine there are a few potential models - will look into! Look for the characteristics of not a huge drop from heel to toe, normally not too think a midsole or heel and good rocker and flex at midfoot. Also remember every foot and every person is different and so will be the best shoe for you!

Anytime! I subscribed! Tag me for anything racewalk related and happy to share/promote!

I like 😅 when he said that people think that he is race walking when he regular walk😂 Maybe to my kids of 7 and 5 years old it’s race walking to follow me every day to go to school 😅😂😂 My daughter she receive the basic education for the movement and the body position of fast walking at her class of physical education 👍🏻 It was not in the program, but I had a chat with the teacher some months ago and some kids that had seen me in the street practicing ask her what I was doing so the teacher decided to do a special just for the group of my daughter 🥰

I am more sure I have heard of that brand? Ultras or Ultas? I will also go look at the Vionic walking shoes. Thanks for watching and the comment and feedback! Happy walking!
