Furthermore, I would like to ask more questions about racewalking and running. 1. I would like to adopt this racewalking training programme for maintaining health. Every Wednesday and Sunday, I would like to do ten sets of economic training once respectively. Furthermore, I do base pace training 1-2 times. 3-4km each time. May this program improve my VO2 max? 2. I run 1,600 meters within 6:09 (3:50 per km). How much is my VO2 max level? 3. Do you recommend any calculator express equivalent VO2 max level in various running/racewalking level?
@ianwhatley73109 ай бұрын
Improving VO2 Max is more difficult if you are already well trained. If you are just starting out on a rigorous training program, you can increase VO2 Max. I have found the Daniels' Running Formula tables work well for racewalk coaching. If you only use figures from 5Km upwards to set Vdot (racewalkers don't have a sprint gear and their pace versus fitness is distorted at shorter distances), his charts of optimal training paces for easy workouts, VO2 Max, threshold and speed work are excellent.
@howardc702510 ай бұрын
For a male elite walkers, he may walk 20km within 1:30:00 (4:30 per km). In this case, suppose his VO2 max is 3:45 per km. Is this program reasonable? Economics training: 0:40 per 200 meters. VO2 max: 3:45 per km threshold walk: 4:10 per km Base/recovery walk: 6:15-5:00 per km. However, suppose this program is reasonable. Why are there some elites adopting 07:30 per km as their base pace (LSD training). Will it not be that the training level (07:30 per km) being too low for them?
@ianwhatley731010 ай бұрын
90 minutes for 20Km is only slightly slower per Km than threshold velocity, which is likely about 4:24-25 per Km. Economy pace for this athlete would be 44-45s per 200, 4:03-4:06 per Km for VO2 max, and base/recovery 5:28-5:24 per km. How slow is too slow to be useful for base work? That is an excellent question and probably varies a lot between individuals. If they are hitting an exercise heart rate above 60% of their max heart rate, there probably is benefit. If they are going this slowly because of tiredness or resdiual soreness from training, they might be better served by a day of cross-training (bike, swim for example) or a day of rest.

Sore shins are common at first in racewalking. You can do isometric strengthening exercises to reduce the problem: Seated with the heel on the floor, lift your toes towards your shin using the shin muscles. Hold at maximum contraction for a count of 10. Rest that leg and repeat with the opposite leg. Do 5 to 10 repetitions per leg. Try to include this exercise on alternate days.

Hello! I would like to ask more questions about mathematical relationship among racewalking, running and swimming. In this video, you said that under same level, the speed of racewalking are 75% of that of running. 1. I tried to run and racewalking at pace around 07:15 per km. I found that the levels of both cases are closer. Which conditions will the mathematical relationship not be broken under? 2. Furthermore, under same VO2 max level, these three cases are equivalent. Swimming freestyle with pace around 1:30 per 100 meters. Running 1:30 per 400 meters. Racewalking 1:30 per 300 meters. Do you agree with this assertion? 3. What is the mathematical relationship between VO2 max and heart rate?
@ianwhatley7310 Жыл бұрын
The relative energy costs or running, racewalking and casual walking cross over as speeds decrease. Slow running has a higher energy cost than racewalking and racewalking has a higher energy cost than casual walking--at slow enough speeds. The 21 minute to 28 minute translation for 5Km times only works for a fit and mechanically sound runner who also racewalks and is operating around 70 to 90% of max. Some elite racewalkers can only run slightly faster (as little as 10% in some cases) than they can racewalk. We also know some runners who cannot racewalk more than 100 meters without stopping, although they can run good times for 5Km. Thus the translation of energy costs cannot be used for every individual. There is no one rule on energy cost translation between events but your general rule for swim:run:racewalk is a good starting point to compare the approximate velocity differences at similar oxygen uptakes. In well-trained athletes in sub-maximal work, the heart rate and VO2 are related in a linear manner.
@howardc7025 Жыл бұрын
Hello! I have several questions about racewalking. They were listed below: 1. Base pace means the pace that you feel comfortable when you run or racewalk. What is the base pace of elite walker usually? 2. Does slower pace indicate smaller level of hip rotation? 3. Should we narrow our stride if we racewalk slower?
@ianwhatley7310 Жыл бұрын
Great questions: 1. Base pace for a racewalker is aerobic, meaning it is below lactate threshold velocity. This puts the upper boundary around 85% of VO2 Max and the lower boundary of useful training around 65% of VO2 Max. It's comfortable talking pace and can be maintained for 40 minutes (at the fast end of the scale) up to several hours. 2. This is a point of debate between coaches. I coach that you need to try to maintain legal and efficient technique at whatever speed you are racewalking. I'm sure there is a lower threshold at which hip rotation falls off considerably. I don't encourage you to consciously decrease hip rotation as you slow down. Correctly positioning the hip through a vigorous arm action is the key to being legal and efficient. 3. Stride length decreases with speed, but don't consciously try to shorten or lengthen your stride. Learn correct technique and let your step length change as the speed changes in whatever manner feels most natural. Good luck, and thanks for the questions.

@ianwhatley7310 Жыл бұрын
The higher the level of competition, the higher the level of training required. Most racewalkers can usefully do exercises with their body weight for resistance, such as core workouts. To be more competitive, weight training can be applied to reduce the possibility of injuries (shin, knee problems particularly) or to generate more drive with the leg muscles specific to the racewalking motion.These would be exercises using additional weights rather than just body weight. Examples include toe lifts with a weight over the toes, seated leg extensions to stabilize the knee, dead lifts or single leg squats, and so on.

Hi Peter. If your goal is fitness, walk in the most comfortable manner you can find. This is likely to reduce stress on joints. If you are looking to compete, there are different rules for racewalking, nordic walking and power walking events. Generally the push phase of the walking gait is more efficient than pulling. It's hard to align the legs to 'pull' yourself forwards. Having a shorter step in front of the body than behind is favored by elite racewalkers. Hope this helps.

Great vid Ian! This is something we've been coaching for a while as a better way to start as opposed to the standing up straight with your front heel on the line and toe pulled back method. We also advise to use a slightly shorter stride to get up to race pace and relax into the natural stride length as speed increases. This really helps reduce LOC on the short fast races that start into a curve. I think we first noticed Taylor Ewert doing it and thought it really made a lot of sense.
