Many of you remember me telling you about my running form, The Dancer, and I mentioned there were two forms I use to run. Perhaps you were wondering about the other form.
The other form, called The Dasher (likely ‘The Sprinter’ would be more appropriate, but c’mon, it sounded like a cool team).
This one is very much like sprinting.
You would run on your toes the whole time, which like an Olympian sprinter. This form is harder to pace yourself. It’s super good for building your calf muscles.
Mich like the Dancer, I think it is low impact on your knees. In this case, though, it’s a very high impact run. While the Dancer tries to make less of an up and down motion, this one does not.
However, all of the force from hitting the pavement is absorbed by your calves, and they just think you’re hopping up and down. It’s the kind of impact they’re made to do.
A little later, I may talk about the two forms and talk about neat concepts I’ve developed. Until then, run safely!
