Alright, obviously it's not me. But this is #$%^ing beautiful.
It also brings me to a some points. Running is JUMPING on one leg, BALANCING on one leg, TOTAL BODY COORDINATION, TECHNIQUE, EFFICIENCY and POWER. If you can't see that, then take a second look then talk to me.
Check out his running form: he is tight (not wasted energy), mid foot strike, landing under his base of support, he has coordinated arm/leg action and his legs are basically wheels.
I hear this a lot in the strength and conditioning community: "You don't run to get in shape, you need to get in shape to run." Think about what this means, most people run and probably shouldn't. Not b/c their body isn't meant to. But b/c they have DEconditioned their body from its natural state then decide to run a long race or distance and wonder why their __________ hurts.
To run, work on Reactive training (jumping, plyo, elasticity), Balance (static, dynamic, multi-joint), TBC (just do any variety of strength lifts and drills), Technique (for running, posture, foot strike...), Efficiency (form, core training, neuro-muscular training...), and POWER (Work/Time=move stuff fast)
Need some tips on how to stay pain free while running, then just ask anyone on the Shawsu team or if you are looking for ways to burn fat that aren't running b/c you are running to get fit then also just ask and we can give you some options that work for you. Some examples would be (10 min circuits, intervals, medley training, density training and strength training for fat loss.
Bottom line you don't HAVE to do hours and hours of "cardio" or even more than 45 mins once a week in a mono-structural activity to REALLY burn FAT.
PS: the music is AWESOME
Intervals for training cuts HOURS
