And, its just a matter of time before he masters all of the aerodynamic issues in running. He’s just getting back into running now. That’s what he says, but don’t let that fool you. This is like Thomas Edision saying, “I’ve heard of this electricity thing, let me look at it.”
He’s going to discover something, too. It will be Laughlin discovering something novel and pioneering on body positioning we are all missing in running, such as on the “push off,” or in the way we hold our heads or necks. Soon, we will be gliding through the air, with the left arm out, running, pushing down on our “T,” putting our chins on our shoulders, running, exposing one of our sides, cutting effortlessly through “wind channels” like a knife, running in the “Bonzai” position.
Chapter Seven in “Running Immersion.” Let’s take a look.
“Cutting Through Wind Channels,” by Terry Laughlin. “When I first met Scott X, his concept of running in the Bonzai position and cutting through wind channels while running, like the Navajo’s, was only a topic discussed by renigade college track coaches. Today, why do we run wrongly and run too far. WE DON’T HAVE TO!..in my new book, we explain…”
In five years, he will whip everybody in his age group, be injury free, and be fresh and untired because he discovered something in the way the Navojo Indians ran on their feet, many years ago, a breakthrough, which cuts through wind, or something. Triathletes will flock to this new technique. Just you watch. Books and tapes will be written about this new technique, “Running Immersion,” or “RI.” Threads, hundreds of them, will be written and debated: “Hey, Has Anyone Got The New Running Immersion Tapes?” “Yeah, I’ve tried RI. I’ve done the Navajo drills. But it doesn’t address propulsion.” “Yes, it does, you just aren’t doing them right. Keep doing the RI drills.” Camps and workshops from St. Louis to Boston will have RI camps.
I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to “RI.”
