Training: How to Keep Good Running Form for Long Distance
in 5K, Analysis, Running, Technique, TrainingWhile different distances do require different training plans, the running technique used, however, remains the same. Here’s why.
Technique: Head Position When Running
in 5K, Human Body, Running, TechniqueThe head position is a crucial point in making the muscular system of the whole body engaged in a specific way. It could be more efficient or less efficient and balanced depending on the head position orientation. As a consequence, the movement of the body could be more efficient and better balanced or not.

Training: Remedy for Fatigue When Running
in 5K, Human Body, Perception, Running, Strength“What do I do when I get tired when running?” This question came up and it reflected a very interesting mind-set regarding performance from coaches and athletes. Indeed, what can we do when fatigue emerges when we run? Do we have some options in how to deal with fatigue? Obviously not many options exist, nevertheless many coaches and athletes “hope” that there are some magic tricks to go around. Some choose to gamble by using something yet unknown to science.

Technique: How to Run on Ice or Any Slippery Surface
in 5K, Balance, Perception, Running, TechniqueIce is a demanding surface and most people feel and move awkward on it. Even athletes that seem to be adept at the most complicated of moves often find themselves struggling to stay on their feet to say nothing of walking or even running on ice.

Theory & Practice: What Is Overstriding in Running?
in 5K, Perception, Running, Technique, TrainingOverstriding is a very simple thing, but it is still veiled in the cloud of confusion for one simple reason – it is impossible to identify and/or define something when you operate without a clear standard. When you are told that you’re overdoing something (and that’s what overstriding essentially means) the question arises: how did you come to a conclusion that I’m overdoing something? I think I’m just doing it. What makes you say I’m OVERdoing it? Is my ‘doing’ different from your ‘doing’? Who is to say that my ‘doing’ isn’t better than yours?

Theory & Practice: Strength Training in Running
in 5K, CrossFit, Running, Strength, TrainingWhile the question ‘do we need strength training in running?’ is not a question anymore, the question, ‘what kind of strength do we need there?’ is still unclear.
