So what would your evaluation of this running technique be? (Read 1412 times)

    Sure, you said that. But what are they?


    Why is it sideways?

      Its not technology, its technique. The real joke is that you'd rather argue it, than learn it.

       

      We learn by asking questions.

        Hey SJ,

         

        You may find some great ideas here to improve runner efficiency.  I hope to see at least a few ideas referenced in your next post.  You can thank me later:

         

        Grow orange hair

        Digest your food for a month

        Eat, sleep, and run upside down

        Eat large amounts of krill

        Grow your heart twice the current size

        Store large amounts of blubber.

        I prefer these as much more  specific running application

        Experts said the world is flat

        Experts said that man would never fly

        Experts said we'd never go to the moon

         

        Name me one of those "experts"...

         

        History never remembers the name of experts; just the innovators who had the guts to challenge and prove the "experts" wrong

          Sure, you said that. But what are they?

           They call them "gloves for your feet"...

           

          I wear them because I hate shoes when I'm training because they allow for optimum human movement, strength and coordination, endurance, and physical control of my body in motion

            So why not just go barefoot?

              To me they're a layer of protection and improve my grip in trail environments.

                I have a ZERO impact force when I walk.

                 

                 

                No, you don't.

                  Watch the video-load bearing heel stays on the ground as the swing leg and heel lands. Its called weight transfer efficiency, and with that, I'm perfectly efficient...

                   

                  Impact levels above bodyweight require an inverted pendulum to create downward speed which is the bodyweight force multiplier. No lift, no Inverted Pendulum motion...

                      I use the trail running model strictly to offer a grip funtion. not to mention cutting myself as I've encountered with glass hidden under leaves...

                        They are just as irrelevant in that comparing running technique of completely different physiological anatomies is missing the bigger picture unless you plan to perform some major surgery on your victims.

                         

                        It's kind of like saying if we can flap our arms as fast as a hummingbird we'll be able to hover in place.  There is more to why/how the hummingbird hovers than form/flapping speed.  Hey- but I bet you would have zero impact if you could do that Smile

                          Is there any data to support the assertion that there were experts who said we'd never go to the moon?

                           

                          Also, where is the evidence that man can now fly?

                            Didn't you see the little green moon men cheering for you in your last ultra, Trent? Sometime long after the 40th mile?

                            It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

                              What constitutes flying?

                               

                              I've seen men fly off a cliff, but that may be closer to gliding and thudding.
