Egal, ob wir für Gesundheit und Freizeit oder für Leistungssteigerung laufen, gibt es einen grundlegenden Aspekt, den wir stets im Hinterkopf behalten sollten. Wir sollten frei und ohne Hindernisse laufen. Jeder von uns hat bereits mit dem Begriff "leichtes Laufen" zu tun gehabt. Der Unterschied zwischen uns und unseren schwarzen Freunden liegt im Fehlen dieser Art von Leichtigkeit in der Bewegung.
How to run smoothly? Case studies from Usain Bolt and Mo Farah
We can practice this at home... by observing the records of Usain Bolt and Mo Farah on the track... Notice their posture, both before the race and during it... First, observe their smile, then their fluidity, and finally their open hands... Perhaps we won't notice all the details, but these three characteristics are undeniable... During our own training session, let's focus on our hands... Let's keep them loose, instead of clenching them into fists, as if we want to hold a feather... Then let's focus on the height of our arms... When we run, we tend to raise them too high, which can accelerate our pace too quickly... This is a mistake... Let's allow our hands to hang loosely, lower our shoulders, and run a few dozen meters with complete ease
Emulating animal behavior
The coach, recognized as one of the most resilient Kenyan runners in the world, often encouraged his trainees to observe the behavior of cats, such as their ability to fall on four paws, jump, and move silently. Later, he utilized their natural behaviors in running and strength training, instructing athletes to run silently and perform strength exercises in a way that did not end in a noisy equipment fall. The aim was to teach athletes finesse in executing their own movements, silent movement, and cunning, so that the pursued opponent would not expect an attack. It's worth taking inspiration from these animals, especially since they are born individualists.
