  • Runners in Their Forties Dominate Ultra-Marathons from 50 to 3,100 Miles
    CLINICAL SCIENCE Runners in their forties dominate ultra-marathons from 50 to 3,100 miles Matthias Alexander Zingg,I Christoph Alexander Ru¨ st,I Thomas Rosemann,I Romuald Lepers,II Beat KnechtleIII I University of Zurich, Institute of General Practice and for Health Services Research, Zurich, Switzerland. II University of Burgundy, Faculty of Sport Sciences, INSERM U1093, Dijon, France. III Gesundheitszentrum St. Gallen, St. Gallen, Switzerland. OBJECTIVES: This study investigated performance trends and the age of peak running speed in ultra-marathons from 50 to 3,100 miles. METHODS: The running speed and age of the fastest competitors in 50-, 100-, 200-, 1,000- and 3,100-mile events held worldwide from 1971 to 2012 were analyzed using single- and multi-level regression analyses. RESULTS: The number of events and competitors increased exponentially in 50- and 100-mile events. For the annual fastest runners, women improved in 50-mile events, but not men. In 100-mile events, both women and men improved their performance. In 1,000-mile events, men became slower. For the annual top ten runners, women improved in 50- and 100-mile events, whereas the performance of men remained unchanged in 50- and 3,100-mile events but improved in 100-mile events. The age of the annual fastest runners was approximately 35 years for both women and men in 50-mile events and approximately 35 years for women in 100-mile events. For men, the age of the annual fastest runners in 100-mile events was higher at 38 years. For the annual fastest runners of 1,000-mile events, the women were approximately 43 years of age, whereas for men, the age increased to 48 years of age.

Skills Introduce the following skills before proceeding to small group instruction. Striding In distance running, as compared with sprinting, the body is more erect and the motion of the arms is less pronounced. Pace is an important consideration. Runners should try to concentrate on the qualities of lightness, ease, relaxation, and looseness. Good striding action, a slight body lean, and good head position are also important. Runners should be encouraged to strike the ground with the heel first and then push off with the toes. Hurdling Several key points govern good hurdling technique. The runner should adjust his stepping pattern so that the takeoff foot is planted 3 to 5 feet from the hurdle. The lead foot is extended straight forward over the hurdle; the rear (trailing) leg is bent, with the knee to the side. The lead foot reaches for the ground, quickly followed by the trailing leg. The hurdler should avoid floating over the hurdle. Body lean is necessary. A hurdler may lead with the same foot over consecutive hurdles or may alternate the leading foot. Some hurdlers like to thrust both arms forward instead of a single arm. A consistent step pattern should be developed. Wands supported on blocks or cones can also be used as hurdles.

  • What Is Distance Running?
    Springfield/South County Youth Club DISTANCE RUNNING IN TRACK & FIELD What is Distance in Track & Field? Distance (and mid-distance) events in track and field require endurance, strategy, and patience. Distance running primarily relies on slow-twitch muscle fibers and the aerobic energy system. Athletes must sustain a constant pace over a longer distance while leaving enough energy to surge (kick) at the end of a race. Ranging from 800m (half a mile) to 3000m (almost 2 miles), each event requires different levels of endurance and speed. Although most athletes will be able to run a mile, those who train distance will be better prepared to run it (and other distance events) faster and more efficiently through proper pacing, race technique, and increased endurance. Athletes training for distance events will notice an increase in endurance and speed over longer distances. This greatly benefits athletes who player soccer, rugby, ultimate frisbee, or who tire easily in other sports. Basic Biomechanics and Technique in Distance Running Distance, unlike sprinting is not as biomechanically technical. The most important form aspects for distance runners are the following: • Athletes must utilize their arms when running. Like sprinting, utilizing the arms in a back and forth motion will help drive athletes forward. At the end of a race it is especially important: “Swing the arms and the legs will follow.” • Foot strike is not as critical as sprinting, but athletes should aim to land close to the ball of their foot but not on their toes. Depending on the speed of the athlete, a mid-foot strike or heel strike is acceptable.

  • UNIT 3: TRACK and FIELD Track and Field Is a Sport That Consists of A
    UNIT 3: TRACK AND FIELD Track and Field is a sport that consists of a number of events. These events include athletics such as running, jumping, and throwing. HISTORY At the first Games in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece, only one event was contested: the stadion footrace, but the introduction of the Ancient Olympic pentathlon marked a step towards track and field as it is recognized today—it comprised a five-event competition of the long jump, javelin throw, discus throw, stadion footrace and wrestling. The establishment of the modern Olympic Games at the end of the 19th century marked a new high for track and field.
