Swimming Technique – Pose Swimming – Power Connection Drills

Elite Mexican Triathlete Arturo Garza demonstrates some “Power Chain” perception drill (48.40) from the Pose Method of Triathlon Techniques book which will help you refine your swimming stroke. Any flaw in your “Power Chain” will be exposed with the use of elastic tubes. You will feel the floating support of the water and develop an awareness of the proper body position. If you drop your elbows and lose the connection from the hand, through the elbow to the shoulders, you will feel your body begin to sink as your power development and support decrease.

Barefoot Running

For a few months now I have been experimenting with barefoot running, a trend that seems to be catching some steam in the running community.

Today, I wanted to introduce you to some of the basic principals of this philosophy and what I have learned so far. Hopefully, you will be intreagued by the idea as well and Id love to hear your thoughts.
