You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: lucKY2b Subject: RE: 50+ Masters Training and Racing Open Forum Body:
To Fruticetum: I dabbled a bit in race-walking as a teen, and I agree with "former walker" that having a good coach is important. Race-walking is not a natural motion, and requires an attentive coaches eye to help perfect it. I could never, for example, have imagined trying to speed-skate without a coach. As for training, I never committed to full time race-walk training, it was mostly a minor side-effort to my running, so I don't have much to offer to a full-time race-walker. Just like with speed-skating, many of the basic elements of strength, speed, and endurance are in common with running, but there are many event specific components to training that do not correlate. As such, I'd be pleasantly surprised if you find much help on this thread beyond just general concepts of developing aerobic fitness (but it never hurts to ask.) I certainly congratulate you on your current successes and wish you only the best of luck on your future in this endeavor. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
