Thursday 4.29.10

This is an example of BAD running form. The heel is about to strike first which will send send shock waves all the way up the body leading to injuries over time. The lead foot striking the ground out in front of the body will act to slow the runner down with each step. The rear-leaning posture will not allow gravity to work in his favor, so the runner will be working harder to go slower. The rear leg shooting too far out the back indicates the foot was on the ground too long, which means more friction, which slows you down.

SWOD:
Shoulder Press 3x5

Metcon:
5k run. Compare to 3.20.10.

WOD Tips:
For the SWOD, after a good warm up, perform 3 sets of 5 reps with a maximal weight. No leg drive, no knee bend!

For the metcon, remember this is NOT a leisurely jog. This is meant to be an all out effort like all our WOD's so that when you cross that finish line you could not possibly run any more, then record that huge PR on the white board and in the comments section.
