Form Serves Function
As athletes, we are always looking to make things easier for ourselves. In the water you constantly drill to keep proper form. However, before or after runs and rides, do you ever get drills in?
Using drills is an excellent way to reinforce good form, and become more efficient. High knees along with "butt-kicks" are excellent to help running form, and even doing these for 30s before and after your runs is beneficial.
On the bike, remember single leg drills and high cadence work are not limited to the trainer. Warm up and cool down using these drills and think about what you are doing. Performing these properly with tired legs means you will hold together for the entirety of your race.
Your form always serves function, keep that in mind if you ever feel yourself breaking down. For more information on training programs and tips, contact Coach Chris at Breakaway Training.
