Our running club called "FOCUS running. The word "focus" (emphasis inscribed) in itself implies a unified focus and goal achievement. Aim - to flee. Run and win. And the club's name all the letters of the great and even after each letter goes point, it is possible to say it again five times for running focus. In "Focus" will result.
And when the window and the snow does not want to think and нori of skis. Lietuviškom circumstances for talking about plain, rather than downhill skiing. I have three pairs of them (twice less than sneakers). In his time, many have invested in oil, waxing equipment. I've participated in several chaffers competitions. Accumulates all kinds of observations on the subject. Who is better in the winter - running chaffers or skiing? What is the effect of running the ski results? Is possible, aligned running and skiing?
Many people know that cycling has 40% of muscle, over 60%, even 80% of the skiing. It is quite natural conclusion because chaffers skating recruitment not only the legs but also arms. Skier and runner as crucial back, abdomen, neck muscles. For labor-intensive hand-skier need to spend less time in the training room specials. exercises.
Fewer people know that skiers oxygen uptake is highest among endurance sports. Elite men's ski VO2 max (the maximum oxygen entering the lungs points per game, sharing of body weight) to 85 mI / kg / min, runners 83rd among women the difference is greater - 82 vs. 72nd three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond oxygen absorption peak time was 92.5 (highest ever recorded cycling), and cross-country ski champion reusable chaffers Bjorn Dalio - 96th Even some statistics: racing equivalent ratio - 180, and the Siberian dog sled during the race - 240 ml / kg / min.
VO2 max is not an absolute indicator and may even demotivate low VO2 max with athletes to achieve better results in competitions. Pasiteisinama chaffers - why try, if nature did not give good lungs. Forgets that VO2 is determined not only genes but also the level of training. The more endurance exercises, the higher the VO2 max. As a result, most of the sports medical professionals agree that the best cross-country skiing is a "fitness" measure.
Skating classical style are two important technical elements - take-off (called chaffers a kick) and slip (glide). Depending on the terrain chaffers and a ski-off capability can be dvižingsnis (diagonal stride) vienžingsnis or based solely on the work of the hands sticks (double chaffers Poling).
Martin recently wrote-off from the front of the foot of the nuances of time. The sliding of a classic style you can not help resist the forefoot. Take off the heel while standing on skis is simply impossible (unless chaffers we climb the hill to the tree). However, novice skiers have the same trouble as runners - although they resist the front foot, but shortens the step to avoid stretch the leg-off time. If the running time is related to the lack of elevation of the road (extra effort), the sliding of the step is shortened due to inexperience, fear that the balance is not maintained or slip slide.
True, the "long step" is not an end in itself. Simplistically, some argue that the sliding of the take off should chaffers be similar to spiriant ball - the more outstretched outstretched hand and with maximum force. However, this analogy makes understanding that the result is not determined by step length and speed. The foot must land on the ground at the time of the pasirengtusi another maximum power transfer. Through frequent makalavimas feet does not add speed, and takes a lot of energy. On the other hand, specifically extending step also does not make sense, since a lot of the outstretched leg will be difficult to take off.
Both the time and the sliding of the take-off (kick) Technical goal - reduce ground contact time. Earth skier is even greater than the resistance force runners. As a result, the maximum take-off time skier transmitted power advantage slip (gliding). Here begins runner "unknown territory" - a new balance between how long a skid, losing to the inertia of the optimal use of hand strength and so on.
For other conditions are inevitable and technical differences. More skier leans forward, his body recovers more to prepare for take-off with sticks. The skier must "feel" slip. Some even compare skiing to swimming - the speed is determined not so much by force, as far as technique "slip" at the moment.
Another very important point - for running closer to the classic ski style. Meanwhile, much faster "skater" style can be useful for cyclists and skaters because it is more based on the force. Over and sliding chaffers of the classics is important to relax - take-off should be easy.
In winter, frequent runner intensive training prefer private rooms. FOCUS train athletics hall. Warm up outdoors - Vingio park and intense sections for better grip Begam inside. Probably no one will argue that the box or what fun.
