After leaving the national archery team, I run simply to relax, and, naturally to keep myself fit and in good shape. Here and there, I ran a few 5k and 10k races. Then, years later, a friend asked me, if I would like to run a marathon with him. I considered this for a while and finally, agreed to join him. So, not only did I have a new goal, I had re-kindled my competitive spirit. Half a year later, I ran my first marathon, finishing with a 'big smile' ?. Since then, I have run eight 42k's and many halfmarathons, not to mention, shorter competitions.
Running has always been a key component of my numerous sports activities, but was always considered simply a good way to stay in shape between these activities. Yet still, I trained up to six times a week, running 80 km-100 km.
In the summer 2007, a knee injury forced me to take an involuntary break for more than three months. I had previously heard of and read about the POSE Method® of running and always was curious to try this running technique. Unfortunately, I was always hesitant to squeeze in a "new method" between my competitions. So, this injury was actually a "blessing in disguise" and definitely THE "changing point" in my running career!
Once my knee had healed, I started instantly with drills & runs. I quickly discovered how convincing the benefits of POSE® were, and, more importantly, how much less the impact on my knee's and achilles tendon this method afforded. This was a "a-ha" moment in my start-up phase with POSE®.
Jan Bouwman, my training partner—and later coaching colleague—whom I met via the POSE® -forum shares my enthusiam for POSE®, it is a valuable resource. Nicholas Romanov and his POSE Method® of running gave me the chance to continue and compete in marathon without any further injuries!
I wanted to share all this experience and knowledge so that other people can benefit from this. I continue to spend lots of work in mastering and teaching the POSE Method® of running in the right way.
"There is a better way to run … discover it!"
