The Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner-Runner
duke3016:
Shameless BUMP
You getting ready for the 2010 one Dan ?
kinboshi:
Was meant to be running this April, but because of a few niggling injuries and going self-employed soon, I"ve decided to defer my entry to 2011.
Anyway, this is an interesting article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8483401.stm
Some of it is obvious, but it just reinforces a lot of what I was saying about heel-striking being "unnatural" and not necessarily good for the body.
Chipaccrual:
That damn heal-striking.
I"ve been going on about that for years, and finally now people are starting to stand up and take notice. ;)
I would also like to point out that my reasons for not exercising properly are also down to going self employed. If it"s good enough for Dan, it"s good enough for me. :D
Jon MW:
"... He said that it was also very interesting that "many of the world"s best athletes run with a forefoot strike". ..."
I do actually run with a forefoot strike - but it would be unfair on all the other competitors if I competed and won everything.
That"s my reason for not exercising properly covered I think. ;D
kinboshi:
OK, it"s 2011 and I"m doing it again.

Running for Cancer Research UK this time, so please sponsor me if you can - even if it"s just a tenner!
