Sports reviews of Evolution Running DVD Run Faster with Fewer Injuries
Customer Review: Excellent Short Video with Actual Runners Demonstrating Running on the Forefoot with Drills
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Excellent straight forward technical video explaining the forefoot running technique that explains why heel running is not only inefficient but contributes to injury by increasing shock loads on parts of the body that are ill equipped to deal with it. The over riding principal is that landing on the forefoot eliminates braking experienced by heel running and that forefoot running mimics barefoot running that is more natural and more conducive to the body's natural ability for shock absorption. Not an easy or immediate adjustment for traditional heel runners like me, the strength of the foot has to gradually build up, but improvements can be felt quit readily particularly if coached by an observer. The DVD includes discussion of quicker shorter strides keeping foot strike below the hips and not ahead that contributes to injury. A plus is that actual runners demonstrate the techniques and drills. A second section shows the drills exclusively that assist you in performing them. The narrator's monotone voice is a bit sleep inducing, too bad he didn't have multiple speakers to break his rhythm, but it's a lot of good information in less than 30 minutes and a great price.
Description of Evolution Running DVD Run Faster with Fewer Injuries
Athletes in every sport except running devote enormous attention to perfecting even minute details of the movements they will be required to produce in competition. Running coaches just tell their athletes to run longer and harder. Runners, and their coaches, have basically ignored technique for years, assuming that their natural stride will give them efficiency and injury resistance. We have found that this simply is not the case. For the past decade, African runners have dominated distance running at its highest levels. Research on what makes these runners faster consistently demonstrates normal VO2 Max and lactate threshold levels for elite runners. Their height, weight, and limb-length ratios all fall into the normal category. Clearly and consistently, what sets the great African runners apart is that they are more efficient than their competitors, running faster without expending more energy. Experts in running economy agree that running barefoot through childhood contributes sigExercise & Fitness Equipment
