Running

Running is one of the most natural human movements. Science and common sense suggest that we humans are destined to run with perseverance. Everyone has different preconditions for endurance sports, but endurance is one of the most trainable physical abilities. (unlike, for example, speed, which is largely innate) It can be developed for up to fifty years and even then it can be maintained at a fairly high level. The goal of learning the technique in running is to make the running movement natural again, automatically and as economically as possible. The individual execution of the run (so-called running style) can be considered correct if all movements during the running cycle correspond to the biomechanical laws as well as the functional and constitutional assumptions of the runner (triathlete). The optimal design will therefore be a compromise between the biomechanical laws of movement and the individual peculiarities of the individual. If the current maximum power in the run is realized with minimal effort and with the least possible wear of the musculoskeletal system, we can speak of an efficient and economical run. In triathlon, another moment comes to this and the fact that we start running in a state of relatively great fatigue after completing the previous two parts - swimming and cycling. Especially after the final part of cycling and mastering the transition part in the 2nd depot, it is important to quickly and effectively incorporate the optimal running stereotype while respecting the current state of fatigue. The current running style reflects not only the functional and constitutional peculiarities of the triathlete, but also depends on mental resilience and ability to concentrate on relaxation, including mastering the fine coordination of movements with a high degree of endurance fatigue.
