Really really good stuff … I gotta keep this top of the mind until it’s a habit. I’m early 60s still getting faster year on year, tips like these help me remove constraints. Thanks so much 🙂👍
All great tips and I can personally vouch for the super-power that is gained by getting into the habit of checking one's running posture. Run tall! Running tall is also greatly assisted by developing a bit of upper body strength. It's amazing how tiring it can become to run with good posture for prolonged periods and this is where muscular strength helps a lot. Simply doing a few sets of push-ups three times a week works wonders. I also found that checking in with my foot landing helps. As fatigue sets in I feel that I am landing more on my heels when I normally run more with mid-foot strike. As soon as I think about shorter stride length and higher cadence, I again strike on mid-foot and I feel extra energy being returned. I cannot speak more highly of the need to maintain good running form. It's a super-power.
I have been watching your RUclips videos for over a year now. I'm a sprinter. At US Nationals in Albuquerque, I finished in the top twenty in my age group in the 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m races. I'm looking to incorporate distance running into my training week in order to improve endurance and help with lactic acid buildup. At present, I'm running one 26 min 5k on my high-intensity day a week. On my slower running day, I'm running a 35 minute 5k. I'm at the track in track shoes running sprints one day a week and ending the sprint session with a 35min 5k. All workout sessions end in resistance training - weight lifting or band work. Is there anything you can recommend during this workout week that can keep this 63-year-old sprinter running fast in the 200m and 400m races [Battling the lactic acid]?
I would like to see an improvement to the sound of your videos... There are too low volume compared with others... Thanks for the valuable advices about running!!!
