Fighter Running Efficiency - A Simple Check And Fix

- Fighter running efficiency matters! Wasted running effort hurts more than your just running time...
Injuries WILL catch up with you sooner or later. And don't assume your running technique is good - even if you're fast, and you don't currently have injuries.
I did, and I was wrong!
Although combat sports athletes don't need optimal running mechanics like say, track athletes, or even field sports athletes might do, fighters must run WELL ENOUGH.
Well enough, not to sabotage fitness testing (like the 12-minute Cooper Run for example)...
And well enough not to cause excessive wear and tear - creating issues such as shin splints, tendinitis, meniscus damage, IT Band syndrome, etc.
In this episode, I share a very quick and simple running efficiency check, and fix. We'll cover:
00:00 Running Efficiency
00:41 Combat Sport Athletes & Running Mechanics
01:32 Over Striding Is Killing Your Speed
02:46 Correcting Your Running Cadence
03:33 You Think You Run Well
04:53 Using A Metronome App
05:30 1-2 Weeks Practicing
05:57 Running On Ice Analogy

I made a playlist of 180 bpm songs and all i gotta do is keep up with the beat. after about 2 months of practicing, 180 is automatic. I tend to stick around 180-185 easy, and upwards of 190 at threshold/interval pace. The shin splints I had last season have disappeared and I'm doing 50% more milage and going much much faster.
Great idea! Boss level playlisting 😅👌
Get the drum and bass in lol
This is super interesting.
Whenever I’ve been trying to do my Cardiac Output runs my heart rate would shoot up and I’d try running ridiculously slow to get it down (basically walking with a running style).
I’ll give this a crack to get more speed for the same heart rate 💪🏻
Let me know how it goes!
It's interesting though You look at Usain Bolt and seems he's taking long strides... or am I mistaken?
He’s not over striding (until he dips for the line in his final stride)… If you look closely you see his foot strikes only a little in front of his centre of mass as he pulls his foot back underneath him. No breaking action. Compare that to guy running on the concrete path beside the lake. 😅
sprinting cadence is close to 250 spm
@@mjdutsar Yes, good point. Sprinting is a faster step per minute rate than general running - which was what I’m really speaking about. The sprint example was intended as an extreme example of the difference between acceleration mechanics and top speed mechanics when running. 👍
4:41 this is my exact experience! I've always found it easier to run faster than slower weirdly, it must be because of this
🙌👊
Ive hardly ever run on threadmill in my life as ive heard they are bad for you but due to change in location i recently joined a gym for s&c and used a threadmill this morning after years.
I was just thinking how interesting it was that being on a threadmill naturally forced me to have that faster BPM even at a lower pace and same HR than jogging outside when you have to "estimate/control" your own stride, and coincidentally you released this at night, haha!
Interesting! Yes, the length of the treadmill deck can (even psychologically) reduce your stride length and help reduce over-striding. 🤔
I’m also a fan of outdoor running whenever possible. I just prefer a change of scenery. Treadmills are very handy for fitness testing though!
Yeah, and especially the fact if you dont put your foot down quick enough on the deck, you mess up your timing on the belt!
Initially i was thinking my HR was so much lower because i was running indoors for the first time where its much cooler.. it was a good 10bpm less than the same pace i normally jog outside, but your video explains alot! There may have been more to it than just lower temperature haha
Really they're bad? I started using treadmill a month ago and it builds my cardio a lot, I feel it in sparring. I like to run on max inclined for as long as I can
@@hugoheros4928 No, they’re not bad. Just different!
