can yoga improve running?

Yes,
Yoga helps in running, flexibility. There's this one runner in subang. Always see him running at Tasek Subang, behind SJMC there. Fast and after run do yoga. Yoga also helps in recovery..

is chinese, u also train at there? want to join me this saturday ?

Hi man, usually i run there weekdays around 6, 630 with my girlfriend.this saturday i usually run at lake garden there.

ironrashid_2k2: Join me and ccube this Saturday at 5.30am lar. It's been very long since we ran together. We are runing 30KM (4 loops birdpark before hitting Hartamas).

4 loops birdpark = 10km??

It's around 2.6KM per loop as measured by MapMyRun.

can say almost any physical sport relates to running, so running improve stamia..

but isn't it the case u need a sport to build strength in the legs?
eg. a swimmer can't run a half marathon if he doesn't train for it even though he has the stamina?

wat r u thoughts peeps?

if have a point there, but i believe swimmers can run long as their stamina are quite high(unless their legs are tired)

In the sports circle, we call this the "Sport specific training" phase. It's when you develop the necessary strength base, from general compound activities and then taper slowly into your sport requirements. This way, you won't have trouble with one particular area being a bottleneck, makes you a more complete athlete.

But marathon runners, the only thing I've heard about how they train is, they do progressive overloading as well. Today 5KM, and everyday increase 1KM, until to a point where they can't increase by 1KM anymore. Then they drop by 2KM and then repeat again. They also do high repetition leg workouts like full squats, RDL, leg curls and leg extensions. Oh and lunges.

I've never trained marathon runners, but I'd figure that they could do with a little help on the resistance training side. However, Ethiopian and Kenyan runners are amongst the best but they have barely an ounce of muscle in their bodies. I'm not sure if this is purely genetical though.

Hi there,

I consulted with some people working in new balance, the man told me i have one low arch. And one flat feet. So which of these choices should i consider?

Thanks for your time.

R.S.

Looks like you need Stability shoe. The Hurricane 10 or Omni 7 will be the right model.
