I thought I would break this topic out from the Pose discussion below. It got into the physics of running a bit and it got me thinking. Where does all the energy we put out running go?
In cycling essentially all of it goes into pushing air aside. It can't be that in running. The discussion about running on ice was intriguing. It seems that once you got up to speed, if you didn't put the brakes on with each stride, you wouldn't need to push off either. Thus I could see how you would be able to run on ice with an efficient stride.
All I know is I get hot, tired and exhausted when I run. When I even a little faster than LSD pace, I get really hot and tired.
Where does all the energy go?
If I can ever get my calf muscles and tendons strong enough, I am going to have to try that Pose running stuff.
Breathless in Florida,
