Oops, forgot to blog, again!...
Following on from the last post, I met up with James Dunne,
of Kinetic Rev, and what a transformation!...
I met with James at a local sports facility, where we had a
brief chat, just for him to get a feel of what was happening, then headed off,
around the corner, for me to run some drills, whilst he recorded me, for
analysis.
A few short efforts to begin with, gave the effect of pre
exhausting me, to better simulate my natural run. After quite a few passes,
with James recording my movement, he had seen enough, and it was time to head
inside and go through my paces with stretches and exercises.
At the debrief, in the coffee shop, James went through the
video clips and explained how I was pushing off from the foot, putting all my
effort through my calf (smallest muscle), instead of driving with the knee,
using the larger muscle group. We discussed drills to help me run 'properly'
and the need to keep up with the drills and stretches…
What a difference that has made. Paying attention to my run
technique, keeping an eye on my cadence has really paid off. Now running up to
one hour, and last week I felt confident enough to do an interval session.
Having done that, without any niggles, I can now take my running up a level and
start focussing on speed again, which is great news, especially with a few
months still to go, before the longer races come into view.
If you have any running issues, I'd certainly recommend
getting in touch with Kinetic Rev.
