Back to Basics - 4

Three lovely runners came out to Camden to experience Goodgym for the first time and learn some good running habits.

Running 101

This week's focus was going to be on speed work, but was adapted to introduce the group to running best practice:

Backwards arm drive

  • keeping them at a right angles (imagine carrying a walnut in the crook of your arm)
  • driving them backwards
  • socket to pocket
  • don't cross your body with your arms

Posture

  • imagining a helium balloon keeping your head and torso up tall

Legs

Using drills to build in the muscle memory:

  • skips - back leg drive
  • bum kicks - quick feet & lower leg movement
  • high knees - reinforce knee lift

Core blimey

We finished the session in Primrose Hill with some cross-training exercises - these strengthen your core muscles, which help keep your body aligned as you run.

Bingo

As is now Polly's tradition we finished with a warm down in front of the bingo hall.

That's all folks

Thanks for coming along Pip, Matt and Corinne. That completes Polly's 'Back to Basics' sessions. Cheers to everyone that has come out and shooed chickens in Camden. Good luck with your running.
