Often when you get tired, your legs will start to feel heavy. To offset this a miniature and get a faster run time, you running style can help. In effect, your arm swing should set your running pace and this will translate to a smoother rhythm and a higher speed. You can even try this out when you're out on a jog, by appealing your arms in a running action. Your legs will simply want to speed up and move faster, and therefore your running speed as well. Plus, if you do not declare your form, you will be so much more inefficient and consequently you will be using more power for less result.
Keeping good form when you're running can be a good distraction from the pain related with the run leg of a triathlon. In fact, keeping you mind occupied during all times of Triathlon is important.
So if you want to improve your running style here are 10 tips.
- Triathletes should bend their elbow a miniature more than the conventional runner, and your hands should be kept mostly in front of your body. Your hands should just go past your hip line, but not too much further.
- Keep your thumbs on top of your fist, and remember to keep a loose grip. Too much tension can lead to undue stress and also the effort of too much energy, which is genuinely not what you are wanting.
- Do not cross the centre line of your body. You want the majority of your movement going send to keep good send momentum. You can also start to roll around otherwise.
- Keep your hands and arms fairly close to your body. It is important for Triathletes to be super efficient, so please keep this in mind.
- Keep both arms even.
- At the start of the run and uphill pump your arms a miniature higher and a miniature more vigorously. This will make it easier for you to keep momentum. As you can see, momentum is key.
- The pace you are running should be reflected in the pace your arms are going.
- Your elbows should stick out a little, which can be clearly seen with Marathon runner Steve Monegetty or Robert De Castella. This miniature tip will allow you to get more oxygen into your lungs because your arms are not restricting your breathing/diaphragm.
- You need to practice your form in all your training runs so that it becomes self-acting to you.
- If it helps, try the Dave Scott drill...close your fists, stick your thumbs level up and run them down your chest/ the centre line of your sternum. The good thing about this drill, is that it makes sure your hands are not going down your centre line.
Over time this will become self-acting to you and the more efficient you get, the less power you spend and the faster you'll get (provided you do the acceptable training).
