TRAINING TIP; RUNNING TALL


Good posture is very important if you want to run your best;
ARTHUR LYDIARD says, " Picture how the ballet dancer stands tall, flexible, powerful and seeming barely to touch the ground at all as he or she moves. America's greatest sprint coach, Bud Winter,emphasised running tall, the Australian middle and long distance coach, Percy Cerutty, called it "lifting yourself out of your pelvis". You should feel as if you are centimetres taller than you are. Far too many runners do not get that feeling or attitude. They sit in a bucket as they run, if you can picture that alongside the ballet exponent".
