pose running

Today we worked on pose running which I had never heard of before. I’m a bit wary of it because they charge a shitload of money to teach it, but since I’ve never actually thought about running or running technique it was a relief to actually learn something and be forced to think about what I was doing. We ran these sprints which involved a turn around halfway which definitely slows you down, but I’ve never really done sprints before so who knows how it compares.

6 x 400m sprints
1:39
1:36
1:43
1:53
rest
1:37

This was my first workout back after a week and I almost made it all the way through the workout, but I had to sit out the 5th sprint because my chest was burning terribly and I started to get dizzy. I wasn’t really sure what was going on, but then I got into the car and started coughing up boatloads of mucus so I guess that was the problem. Apparently sprinting is some sort of expectorant as I now have snot coming out of every orifice. Good to know.

  1. The whole POSE style is good, though the site itself is as much a cult as the Church of Scientology. Luckily, you don’t need to buy any of the crap in order to learn how to do it well.

    Good luck with that mucus thing… Sounds lovely.

  2. Besides finding out about “POSE” on the web I have yet to come across anyone in Ohio who has heard of it. I will “NOT” run any other way. Practice the drills so when you do run ,it will be natural, and you won’t have to think about it.

    Good luck with the snot thing

  3. I agree with Patrick - there is no shortage of stuff to buy on the website but if you get past that and understand the science behind it - it will be well worth your while..
