30 is young for this sport. You have many good years ahead of you. Walk on!

Just turned 64 and feeling the age. Been a serious runner for just over 10 years now and have gone from running to run/walk/run to hurting! The enjoyment of running has diminished recently so I thought I would try racewalking. Found out it will affect your lower back if it is weak so I'm going to try to concentrate on stretching much more. Thanks so much for this tremendous tutorial. Great job! I have a half marathon this weekend and will definitely attempt to walk it using much of this information. I may be a permanent new convert!

Thank you Coach Carmen! I have been race walking for fun for the last 3 years. 6 miles / day 6 days per week. Even in winter after watching your video I learned enough to shave 38 seconds per mile off of my 6 mile walk. Lots of warm clothes, winter shoes, dirty roads here in the north east at 29 degrees and no plans for a "personal record" pace but it felt great. Mentally reminding myself of your critical steps did the trick. Swinging arms back help my forward pace, dropping hips helped with swiveling hips, concentrating on straight knee and bending toes did the rest. I can only see this improving with more practice. Thanks Again!!

I've been 'normal' walking several times a week for a few months, gradually improving in distance covered and heart rate as measured by my Garmin watch. I wanted to take things to a higher level by including some runs, but my running speed is slow, and it puts a lot of stress on my body, considering the fact that I'm over 50. After watching this video (and a few others on similar topics), I incorporated the race walking form into my workout. My 4.5 mile routine went from approximately 18 minute/mile pace to under 16, and I can already tell I'll have a much quicker recovery time than when I run and walk that distance. I look forward to improving on that time even more in the coming weeks.

That was great many thanks . . . question . . I have worked up to doing 12k a day through the area where I live . . . much of my route involves hills which I like for the challenge and conditioning, I am also trying to get my average time per kilometer down to less than 7 minutes . . . should I forego hills for the moment and concentrate on form by walking on flat surfaces? . . at times I feel like I am an overrevving engine that is stuck in 2nd gear as I cannot seem to get my speed up consistently to less than 7 minutes a K.

@ReshodWalkingShoes

3 жыл бұрын

Glad the video was helpful! Thx for letting me know. Yes, stay on flat surfaces till you get the muscle memory for the racewalking gait. When you DO incorporate hills, I recommend finding a shallow incline of about 100 meters. Do that over and over instead of one long incline. It gives your body a chance to reset and practice good form up that hill. Once you are proficient in your technique, do that same shallow hill but go down fast and recover up the hill. Gravity will force you to speed up but can also cause you to lose form, so wait till you are strong enough for that challenge. All the best in your training!!!

any run shoe. i prefer a racer as you dont need abeefy running shoe since you have one foot on the ground

Could you explain why we swing arms with bent elbows, rather than a more natural almost-straight, slightly bent arm? Thanks!

@ReshodWalkingShoes

3 жыл бұрын

Yes. There's no rule against walking with straight arms in a judged racewalk. Occasionally I do slow technique walks using straight arms, but when I want to walk fast, I bend the elbows. Fast walkers take as many as 240 or more steps per minute. Bending your elbows will shorten the radius of the swinging arm, making it easier to increase your tempo. Try it for yourself by counting your your arm swings while walking for one minute. Compare the number you can do with straight arms versus the bent elbows. If that number is the same, compare the distance you travelled. The fast-pace with bent arms is probably more efficient. Let me know.

that is where the driving force comes in. your momentum is better. when you get in sync it all works well...your arms work with the legs

So the back swing should be more prolonged than the front swing?

@ReshodWalkingShoes

Жыл бұрын

YES. More pronounced to the rear. Think about elbowing someone that's standing behind you. Then relax the arm as you swing it forward. Never spend energy driving your arms forward. That's wasted motion.

Could you explain why hip drop is important, and what is the reason for doing it?

@ReshodWalkingShoes

Ай бұрын

Good question. Some coaches don't teach the hip drop, but I do because it helps new walkers engage the glute for a powerful stride.

Really sorry to do this, but I felt compelled. I just want to start by saying this is the best tutorial video I've seen for race waffling. However, at 11:56, you've got both feet off the ground. I suspect your have both feet off at other times too, but I've screenshotted the incident at 11:56. Is it just something that happens now and again?

Thanks for the comment. I'm so glad you like the video. Yes, I should look like I'm running when you're watching me from behind. This is the case whenever you're getting the maximum rollover. I mentioned this in the video, but maybe I wasn't clear. It's a good thing to look like you're coming off the ground from the rear view. However, Racewalk judges only view walkers from the side. It's also done in person only and not by video because the frame can be distorted. That being said, it's possible that I came off the ground for a fraction of a second (which is acceptable), but I was doing a drill that practiced pushing off the toes and was trying to accentuate my point. I hope that clears things up for you.

Hello. I ordered shoes on Saturday afternoon, and they were waiting for me when I got home from work on Monday! Way to go! Do you have a facebook page? I'd love to follow. I'm a runner switching to racewalking after an accident. My running club is showing an interest in adding a racewalking team. We already have 6 people!

Ok I’m right handed and my back foot is the right one. Should I start my walking with my back foot all the time during walking for exercise? I ask u because when I’m standing it’s impossible to start walking with my left foot, and I think this is because my right foot is my back foot and my left foot is my front foot.

@ReshodWalkingShoes

I don't think about it at all. I go with what is automatic. If you are right dominant with your hands, it's not necessarily the same for your feet. Try standing with your feet hip width apart and simply lean your body forward. Whichever foot steps forward to break your fall is the foot to start with. Does that help?

@denniperez8028

Жыл бұрын

Yea I guess. When I lean forward the foot that moves forwards is the right one but I don’t know why I feel my upper body stronger when I step with the left foot first. Maybe because I’m right hand dominant and I use my upper body but if I step with the right foot first then my upper body feels weaker maybe because I using my right leg first and I think the right leg is my dominant one too. Give me your thoughts please.

If you've had multiple lumbar spine surgeries and are fused, is race walking something that can be learned and performed safely? I want to get back into shape and possibly find something to compete in again.

I know a racewalker that has had multiple spinal laminectomies and still performed well. That being said, I don't know your complete medical history. Pass along this video to your medical provider so they can answer this question. You might have limited range of motion that will affect rotating your hips, but that's not a requirement. Racewalking is a very low impact sport and will hopefully work for you.

your long walk maay be longer than 10k since you want to finish. you can work on speed and just walk 4-5 and that will carry you through. do you want a good time for 10k or just finish ??? it depends on your goal...jus be sure to enjoy it. just finish the first one and go from there. good luck !

There is no age limit. World Masters events offer races for all ages with awards in 5 year increments. As for Olympic athletes, I've seen racewalkers in their 40s and 50s, racing at the elite level.

@@ReshodWalkingShoes At the current World Championships the American men finished 41 out of 47 finishers, whereas the American women did not have a single athlete competing in the 20K. In the 35k not a single American male competed and the American woman who finished was 35th out of 36 finishers. They are just as much of non factors when it came to the Tokyo Olympics with the sole American woman finishing 33rd in the 20k and the American men finishing 50th in the 20k and did not have a single competitor in the 50k. These are horrendous results and quite frankly, the Americans have not been a factor on the international scene over the course of my 69-year lifetime. One would think that with a country the size of the United States, we would have produced at the very least one walker who could considered to be a threat to medal whether at the World Championships or the Olympics. The same unfortunately could also be said about our distance runners. We have produced far too few distance runners, both men and women over the years who could always be considered a threat whenever they tow the starting line. This is what I have been seeing over the past 60 years, both as a marathoner and also someone who follows the sport.
