Week 3 of Winter Track Group!

Form..form and more form work. You can never get enough.

Lost a few to holiday travel but 12 strong souls faced the cold and wind for a peppy 250 (150) fartlek workout.We are REALLY getting to love this group and will hate to see it end next week!

@Chandle74418127 @scottcarlinpt @shitehawke2 Are you paying attention?
Drills drills drills
Bands bands bands
Fundamentals.. make them a priority

For your recreational runners… heel strike is never taught or encouraged. Fundamentals can self correct.

Stay injury free and away from doctors and PT is my goal!

[Debra Carlson @be_bold_run]

@josephs24088506 @Chandle74418127 @scottcarlinpt @shitehawke2 Agree

[Debra Carlson @be_bold_run]

@scottcarlinpt @shitehawke2 Her heel strike happens close to beneath her flexed knee. The landing position is relative to her center of mass so she runs without overstriding much and lands very LIGHT compared to a heavy jogger. A PT should not promote this. As a coach, we teach proper form to prevent injury

[Debra Carlson @be_bold_run]

@scottcarlinpt Your posts are now making me laugh.

[Debra Carlson @be_bold_run]

@scottcarlinpt Correction… not all sales people in shoe stores are qualified to make a suggestion on the “right” shoe.

[Debra Carlson @be_bold_run]

@scottcarlinpt 1. This is one study with limitations in that the recipient knew what they were getting.
2. Not enough studies comparing each type of running shoe with another.

I do agree shoe needs to feel comfortable and not what a shoe store recommends.

Merry Mitchmas 5k this morning with @be_bold_run !

[Debra Carlson @be_bold_run]

@GregMcMillan CIM weekend!

[Debra Carlson @be_bold_run]

@scottcarlinpt There is no one race pacing strategy. As a running coach I coach athletes to race depending on the particular race, their goals, fitness, course, weather… etc.

[Debra Carlson @be_bold_run]

@scottcarlinpt Also doc C… I have a marathon coming up and sore elbow 🤪. See you soon for that

[Debra Carlson @be_bold_run]

@scottcarlinpt You can go too easy on #5 and gait and form is affected. If form is suffering while too easy you are better off with a day off. My phylosophy is to go only as slow as you need to. I run my easy a little peppier. Works for me.

[Debra Carlson @be_bold_run]

@scottcarlinpt What are you training for?

[Debra Carlson @be_bold_run]

@des_linden @lukewebstr Nope don’t go there! You are a beast of a runner who keeps inspiring many! Plus I named my dog 🐕‍🦺 after you! 😉
