Group training is back!
Great news today – group sessions are back with a bang!
The first of four run technique sessions. Today was all about running technique for uneven and unpredictable terrain. The athletes worked on fast feet and use of focal point/peripheral vision with ladder drills and then took that into single-track with overhanging branches and lots of tree roots. And from there into muddy and uneven terrain to practice:
- picking the fastest and safest route, through looking ahead and choosing the best line
- high knees to keep making good progress and get over obstacles
- keeping centre-of-gravity low to be able to manage small changes in direction
- high cadence to be able to manage slips and mini-trips
A great time in nature with the sunshine on our faces and in the company of others after such a long period of isolation.
