Legs and Feet
It is essential that when sprinters run, they maintain a high knee-lift, as this will enable them to take a longer stride and apply more pressure while landing on the feet and pushing the ground for the next motion. This is quite good running technique for sprinters. Breathing should also be monitored and rhythmic. For endurance runners, it’s recommended that they do not lift their knees too high and take shorter strides, as taking longer strides consumes more energy. Long distance runners need to spread out their energy over the long run hence, it’s better that they take shorter strides. Make sure that your ankles are flexed when you land your foot on the ground, so that you can create more ‘jump’ in the push-off.
By using these above techniques you can avoid a chance of causing long term harm to your joints, neck and back.
