MILEAGE IN RUNNING
A little historical retrospective could give us a clearer picture of the role the training volume (in layman terms, mileage) plays in running. For many years it was overestimated and sometimes the number of miles some runners put per week, and per month was reaching the edge of humanly possible and there was no room to "grow" and put more hours of running in the existing time frame of life. We got crazy for a while, reaching some kind of the tipping point in the "swing" of our mental pendulum trying to find the answer to our question. The majority...

RUNNING & TRAINING: in reply to the forum topics
I do understand your questions and your skepticism as well. Running success paradigm had been build during many years as an aerobic development concept, which was primarily dependent on training mileage or volume of running. Historically it was confirmed by the Olympic success of Emil Zatopek and others, and was structured into some successful systems like the one by Arthur Lydiard. It was the time when VO2max concept was a dominating practical application in endurance sport. Since that time our vision of VO2 max has changed and we have a different understanding of its value now. Nevertheless, the volume of...

PERCEPTION IN POSE METHOD OF RUNNING. SUPPORT: EFFORTS AND MUSCLE TENSION
Perception of support has several characteristics or elements with which we operate, in order to produce an efficient running stride. From the point of view of Pose Method, support represents just a pivotal point or a pivoting movement of the body when the body is falling forward with the gravitational pull and through this, gaining its horizontal acceleration. To provide for this movement, we really don't need to exert too much effort. All our muscles' efforts are basically concentrated or focused on the finishing point of support, when the balance of the body is over, and it becomes necessary to...

PERCEPTION IN POSE METHOD OF RUNNING. LEANING
The importance of developing perception of leaning comes from the fact that we don't have a possibility to recognize the angle of leaning through any measurements and the only tool that we have is our perception. It is related with different things . One of the most important things is deviation of our body from its balance on support. We are basically leaning out of balance. We must first develop our perception of getting out of balance and being able to return to it. The next step would be developing our perception of getting out of balance and not being...

PERCEPTION IN POSE METHOD OF RUNNING
Leonardo da Vinci's thought about "all our knowledge coming to us through our perception" was ahead of its time and reflected his genius vision. However it never became widely spread and never guided us in our discovery of the world. With some exceptions in some schools of art, music, and painting, perception was basically never the subject of our attention for teaching or learning. The absence of this important aspect in teaching and learning of movement brought along deep negative consequences, such as too long and difficult process of learning, wrong focus in teaching, etc. The importance of developing one's...
