UPHILL/DOWNHILL RUNNING

This topic was discussed repeatedly, but it is still necessary to return to it again in order to clarify some more details. As we know, most runners have a very negative experience running through a hilly course and especially so during a marathon. Undulating terrain brings a lot of problems to elite, competitive, and recreational runners alike. That's why it's very important to know how to deal with this, in other words, to learn a special technique of uphill/downhill running. From the outside point of view, it may look that the uphill and downhill running techniques are different. But in...

Velocity doesn’t depend on voluntary muscular action Granted, the Pose is a conscious alignment, maintained by isometric muscle involvement and intent, but essentially, it’s static....

RUNNING AFTER BIKE IN TRIATHLON

Several questions about this topic came up on our forum. How to perform a transition run and how to continue efficient running after the bike leg in triathlon? Certainly these are very important questions from the aspect of skill development and should be discussed as a special matter. As we know, running in triathlon is convoluted by a swim and bike leg, both of which contribute in increasing fatigue, reduced muscle freshness, loss in coordination, mental focus, etc. So when we get to the run, we have to be ready to face all the complications mentioned above and know how...
