How do I go faster?
That is the question every one of the athletes I coach asks me. Every athlete. No one wants to go slower. In a nutshell, that is why athletes work with coaches. I, like most coaches, initially tended to answer that question (especially in regard to running) by focusing on developing aerobic capacity and strength. More workouts! More Hills! Longer Runs!
Unfortunately, the inevitable result of the traditional method was injuries. It is hard to develop aerobic capacity when you can not run due to IT band problems or a sore knee. It became obvious to me as a coach that the key to success in triathlon is consistent development. And you can't have consistent development sitting on the sidelines. So, the first question to me on how to get faster is how do you stay injury free so you can train?
A light goes off
I attended a Joe Friel triathlon coaching seminar where Joe spent the vast majority of the time talking about the importance of technique development in athletes. In his opinion, developing technique is the low hanging fruit of getting faster. It also provides an edge over your competition since most athletes (and coaches for that matter) completely ignore technique, especially in regard to running. Consequently, I discovered Dr. R and the Pose Method.
Injury free and faster
I have personally changed the way I ran (as a life long heel striker) to a Pose Method runner. My previous injuries are disappearing, I feel lighter when I run and I am getting faster. The Pose Method has provided me an edge over my competition. It also provides an edge to all the athletes I coach.
Finally, it gives me great pleasure as a coach, when asked "how do I go faster?" I can now reply "Let me teach you the Pose Method."
