Ultrafit Multisport Training Series
Evolution Running - Volume 1:
Evolution Running is the premiere video in the new ULTRAFIT MULTISPORT TRAINING SERIES conceived by legendary coach Joe Friel and VeloPress. "For years I have thought of creating a series of videos and books for multisport athletes," says Joe Friel. "In this DVD, the first volume of the new series, athletes will see how that idea has taken shape based on my philosophies for teaching run technique."
"Most runners and their coaches assume that their natural stride will give them efficiency and injury resistance," says Ken Mierke, Director of Training for Joe Friel's Ultrafit and Creator of Evolution Running. "We have found that this simply is not the case. Our research shows that technique plays an enormous roll in raising a runners economy and preventing injury. This is the foundation of Evolution Running."
Joe Friel continues..."by following the concepts laid out in Evolution Running, athletes will become more economical--conserve precious energy, experience far fewer injuries and race faster."
Description:
For the past decade, African runners have dominated distance running at its highest levels. Research on what makes these runners faster consistently demonstrates normal VO2 Max and lactate threshold levels for elite runners. Their height, weight, and limb-length ratios all fall into the normal category. Clearly and consistently, what sets the great African runners apart is that they are more efficient than their competitors, running faster without expending more energy. Experts in running economy agree that running barefoot through childhood contributes significantly to the extraordinary economy of these athletes. We're not suggesting that you run barefoot. We are suggesting that you take the time and effort to learn the techniques that may be more natural running barefoot, and implement them into your shoe-running technique.
