Track Running

Some things I've learnt from the past few weeks

Track Runs are great for training running form.
- made corrections on my foot strike to land on the ball of the foot.

- lifting back of the foot naturally instead of scratching foot backwards = better cadence.
- landing on toes on for initial and final sprinting efforts helped with speed.
- breathing hard when sprinting helped to speed up

Injuries lessened with correct running form

- Landing on the balls of feet distributed stress equally between knees and calves

- Pure heel strikes were more intensive on knees.
- Calf pain only came up if toe strike was utilized throughout run. In bursts it was fine.

Running posture helped to make runs easier.
- Keeping upright helped stablise the body. 

- Running lean needed to be slight and natural not exaggerated.
