IMPROVE RUNNING FORM TECHNIQUE: HEEL LIFT TIP BY COACH SAGE CANADAY 

What's interesting about that is it's evidence of how much being comfortable in what you're doing can affect your endurance. Not saying Sage was uncomfortable dancing, but rather that it's out of his comfort zone/wheelhouse. I've seen this a lot in combat sports, as a fan and as someone who has dabbled in muay thai. In muay thai, it blew my mind when sparring that I'd get so winded so quickly despite having quite good cardio from running. Also in MMA, you see it all the time how someone who doesn't have extensive grappling experience will gas super quickly when things hit the mat, but can go a night when doing what their specialty is. Suppose the interesting takeaway here is to not be overconfident in your cardio when doing things that are out of your comfort zone. I think a lot of it is from the fact that just because you might have excellent vo2max, it takes a degree of mental comfort to fully unlock that maximum potential.

I noticed that too.

@@Drewb18c1 I know what you mean. A simple test is running flights of stairs. You can be pretty good endurance wise in running and running only activities. But try a jog up 5 or more flights of stairs nonstop and see how funny you start breathing despite being someone that crushes 30+mpw running.

Drewb18c1 its all about technique not comfort zone. I do muay thai/freestyle wrestling technique is key. And roadwork is a must no matter who you are.

@@Drewb18c1 Its not necessarily comfort but rathe ryour central nervous system knowing exactly what contractions are needed in what order and timing to perform a certain movement "ideally" and then more you do that movement the more these neurals patterns get strengthened and less energy is needed. You can have good pulling force but if your body doesnt know how to properly engage the lats and scapula at the start of that movement you will struggle with a pullup.

JoMario Rivera haha gold

Ahahhsh When I go away from class

😂

Savage

Fired 😂

Right?

That shit was funny random af

I love that he had the club music ready to go.

haha

Random AF 🤣

😂 💗 this comment!

I see where you’re going there

LOLOL

🤦🏽‍♂️

Ok I thought that was just me. The kicking makes me fatigue faster then I struggle through the last few miles.

@@dboardjr8873 That means you need to do more kinetic stretches like high knees and butt kickers. You may also benefit from doing squats every other day.

@@Deadlyaztec27 I do alot of squats and deadlifts. But I will give those kinetic stretches a try

I run like a Clydesdale; rocks fly from under my feet, lol.

Same here especially in slow easy recovery runs.

*run ( I have run = I’ve run ) or simply I ran

ha ha, I try! Full Dance Video with Pacer The Dog on my Instagram: @SageCanaday

@@Vo2maxProductions Followed! Your dog has terrific talent for dance, as well!

It’s when u shit yourself

I cannot stop laughing at this comment omg

I know. I’ve never seen anyone run like that. Very funny. He tried. Just over amplified.

Conan O'Brien actually got someone from the other class who runs like that(i honestly laughed when i first saw him running that way lol now im used to it)

The Thunderbirds run like that. But then, they are puppets.

Oh wow, this actually works 😀

It doesn't. The lifting is not a form, it is physiology. No way can a beginner try that, and he didn't mentioned how trained his thigh, hip, back, neck, arms/the whole body to accommodate the lifting. It is natural to propel us that way when our muscles can take that jumps.

Good luck! Switching to mid-sole strike will give you a ton of efficiency benefits but also health benefits (our heels are not good for absorbing impact). Given you've been a heel strike runner for so long, do take it easy as you transition. Your calf muscles and the smaller muscles around your tendons will need to do some catching up to the new form, so slower/shorter distances while you concentrate on the form will be good to avoid pain or injury. Also consider shoe choice. If you have a higher heel or over-cushioned heel it can be detrimental to efficiency and injury-free mid-sole striking. So evaluate if you should get a lower heel drop (you don't have to go zero drop or zero cushion, I know some of the barefoot movement pushes that really hard, but it's not at all a requirement for mid-sole strike gaits. If you do choose to go that route, go gradually.)

If you want to get faster, you should watch my newest video. Don't mean to be one of those guys who promotes there channel in the comments but I think it could really help you out.

Robert Mechura you could be frank, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Tular Ikarra big help thanks a lot ! (Newbie doing first 10 miler)

Dude, I can’t IMAGINE running 12 miles, good on you bro

the overall motives of running form is higher efficiency.. gather as much momentum to carry you forward. kicking behind your buttocks propels u forward a bit .. hence the reason why u had a better run there are other methods too for increasing your momentum. the smoother your stride is .. the less stress place on u feet

Hi What does XX mean please?

@@HeathifyMyLife xc? Cross country

@@HeathifyMyLife xc = cross country = competitive long distance running (5km and 10km depending on age)

Strong agree, mid-sole strike is far healthier, and often it can be related to shoe choice as well as improving technique

why are you gae
