Runners, on the other hand, simply train by running longer and running harder. Most runners and their coaches assume that their natural stride will give them efficiency and injury resistance. This simply is not the case. Technique plays an enormous role in raising a runner's economy and preventing injury. 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. By following the concepts laid out by Ken Mierke, two-time World Champion triathlete and creator of Evolution Running, athletes will become more economical--conserve precious energy, experience far fewer injuries, and race faster. uploader's notes: i did not rip this DVD! i got it from a triathlon training torrent, made some minor changes, and upped it under the proper name. please enjoy, and run, forrest, run!! :D
