Thanks for the videos. As an inspiring olympic racewalker from Jamaica, these videos will help me on my journey towards greatness.

We need more videos like this and clinics to help racewalkers. I ran for 49 years until I wore out the cartilage in my right hip (if you run enough miles and enough distance over time, something will wear out). I accidentally discovered racewalking, and while I can't run any longer, I can do this. Albeit, not very fast or well. Billyoungberg is spot on: racewalking is far more difficult than running, but doesn't beat up your body nearly as much. I attended one of Dave McGovern's clinics, and it was very helpful. The issue here is that I am probably the only racewalker in my zip code and there are no racewalking groups around (there used to be a handful of them a generation ago, but no more). The only way I can see how I am doing is by competing, which I started doing at the annual Pasadena (CA) senior games. If there was a clinic locally (Los Angeles area), I'd go. Currently debating if I can do the 10K distance. I'm slow, old, and I don't know how much on my feet time this body can handle with all of the previous running injuries I've had. Plus, getting tired leads to bad form and DQ, and would rather not deal with that again.

Very well put together video with clear explanations. I am over 72 now but was a competitive racewalker from 1985 to 2010 winning many awards. My 5k times were close to 28 to 29 minutes and my fastest half marathon was 2 hours and 10 minutes. I did a one mile race in 8 and a half minutes. Racewalking is a tough discipline and much harder than running but much less of an impact on your body. Thanks again for a great video.

So I was at a 5k last Saturday and I've been trying to run a bit, but I have a terrible left knee and it hurt too badly this time for any running. I started doing a weird half-run/walk thing and just found out it was kind of a form of race walking! Now I want to learn to actually do it correctly so I can make better times on my 5ks without damaging my knee (lower impact). Thanks for this video!!!

Yes, but they are way slower. Visibility is a combination of milliseconds off the ground, speed, and height of the foot through the swing, at least for the most part

How many times should you do this in a drill?
@Racewalk4 ай бұрын
That's hard to say. It's a drill to get the feel of the motion. Usually just a few times, but it can be redone as a reminder. If it doesn't work after a few times, it's not going to help. Try another analogy or drill

Around 80% of race walkers are RUNNING at some point of the race. It's just a matter of who can cheat more undetected. This is a joke, not a sport. They don't even get disqualified when they are detected cheating, just getting a yellow card for "air time" that is RUNNING!

This is so helpful as I'm trying to search for the how to. I've been running for 40 yrs but just turning to racewalking recently due to non stop injuries I've got for more than a year. This racewalk is giving me the ability to keep myself active like I used to be but at the same time still need to work on the new walking technique. I find there are more running coaches than walking coaches! I used to be a running coach myself. Really appreciate this clip.
