Technique running

Within the three disciplines or sectors which contains a triathlon, swimming, cycling and running or hiking on foot, the latter is the only man who is prepared so innate.

Our knees and above our back is not made to go on a bike, we have to work and learn the proper way to give pedaling, positioned on the bike and adapt the machine to our morphology.

In swimming, the technique is essential, our body is ready to walk, run, jump and climb, but not for swimming. When nothing we engine front (arms) instead at the end of the body such as fish or ships. And above all we can not breathe in the water so we have to coordinate all movements propulsivos with breathing for not drown.

In contrast to all this, if man is ready to run, and knows run naturally. Many large velocistas are not amending the form of running, no matter how strange it may be. They work out, the length of stride and some aspects always secondary.

In marathons is similar, the technique is almost natural in every corridor and also worked technical aspects, avoid injury or try to save energy. But it's not like swimming in that one has to learn from scratch and then not stop working all aspects of the art.

Although try the technique of running (an entire course of the faculty), this technique has distinctly different objectives to the other two phases of the triathlon.

We must also emphasize that the technique of running or hiking foot of triathlon has slight differences with the Athletics from the same distances. In the Olympic triathlon distance to run trot is ten kilometers. That can be seen in the bottom half in athletics track. But an athlete before making its ten kilometers only thing he has done is warm and stretch. A triathlete (at the Olympic distance) has been on top of his body one kilometer and a half swimming and about forty of cycling. This makes some things happen.

It also changes the way of running, the source of an athlete. A swimmer in most cases do not have so much trouble to run, many swimmers work the running almost daily as a form of aerobic training system. Cyclists on the other hand if they have more problems in the way they run, especially if they are competitive athletes, their muscles below this adapted to a different movement and especially not receive impacts.

For the latter it is very important to work certain aspects of both the technical improvement of the art comfortable to avoid injuries in the knee and ankles.

This was said by experience and not based on studies if I have seen that in the field of swimming there are many athletes with feet flat. Some studies say that it is up for a good swimmer. So triathletes coming from the swimming will have to make a special working to strengthen the tendon aquiles and especially sports talk with a doctor for using special templates.

To conclude in the following chapters of the tenica of running treat different times in stride (contact, momentum and flight)
