Running seminar 3/4

This week was a lot more of the same. I thought that it would be a good idea to keep week 3 the same as week 2 so we can improve on some of the things that we have learned about proper stride mechanics.  

In this picture some elite african distance runners give a visual of a few points that we have been working on for the last couple weeks.

Notice the heads are looking forward, slight forward lean, arm angle of 90 degrees or less with emphasis on a powerful back drive and high relaxed recovery, foot contact near midfoot underneath the center of gravity with push off well behind, and all momentum going in the forward direction.

This coming sunday we will be taking less time with the stride drills and we will focus more on getting in a longer run.

There is a slight possibility of rain but if it does it will be very little so come prepared.

Looking forward to seeing the whole team out for the final group run before the big one!
