Crawling - Training for the Mile Crawl, ~875m in 49 minutes

[@mosessim405]

hey David, could I ask how to build mileage? currently my personal record for long distance leopard crawl is 550m in about 30-40 minutes. How do you keep going without breaking form, at the cadence in your video, and for a longer time and distance? how did you build up to where you are? cheers!

I am not sure I have the best answer! I applied running training principles at that time. I would do 2x mid week crawls of min 20 min, sometimes more. Then on the weekends, I'd go out to that track and go for distance, trying to go a little further each time. Before I stopped working on this, I introduced "sprint" training. I would do short distances and crawl as fast as possible. However, I do note that my shoulders got sore and had to stop. So know that this journey was very informative as to my own limitations, and also limitations as humans who spend most of their lives on their feet and not on their shoulders/arms. My personal limitations were strength in general, but that would be characterized as not necessarily muscle but joint endurance and ability to stabilize the torso properly.
