What’s better? Three or five steps disturbing. Becky’s hall asks Newf Ambassador Monsha Eliott
If you follow the speed, strength and mobility of Mensah Elliott Part of this seriesThen you sure, you feel flexible quickly, strong and (hopefully).
The next one, it’s time to solve something that almost every masters will play with time with time, the spread of constantly changing obstacles.
Three steps or five steps. Master Hudder’s biggest challenge.
As someone who has been struggling with 35 over 35 after turning since September 3 2023. The three steps are just too far away. If I walk five, obstacles come to me very quickly. And I have received more chance to drive a marathon (from a completely question) than effectively hindering me on both legs to allow me to be quadruped.
And it is a challenge that many masters I know have also fought.
“Look, the three steps will always be the fastest, optimal,” Elliott begins. “So before choosing five steps try to get everything first.”
At the moment, I had to try to hide my frustration.
The first thing that Elliott advises to try to “click on the plugs.” That is, bringing them to approach them more than racial distance.
“Keep the first sign on the first sign. It never changes and then place all other obstacles two, three or four feet. “Start with five or six obstacles, then add more. If you approach them enough, you will receive 12 or 13 obstacles at a distance of 110 m. It will raise your speed, your strength and your endurance.
And Elliott advises that as soon as you feel that you have to cut or massacrate your step, the stacks are back on foot.
This is a method for which he can guarantee both athletes and coaches.
“The most worst thing to do is put on obstacles and has to transform them into bulk.” Elliott explains.
“It simply came to our notice then. Meanwhile, if you bring them and you can run and hinder better techniques, you gradually get to them and you can blow them again.
Elliott also realizes that most of the challenge of obstacles is a lack of trust when it comes to unloading distance he says that he can actually affect your technique.
“Something I noticed, especially in my wife, in my club, S-Factor Academy – Does the lead foot often go from the outside, rather than bypass the obstacle? Because they feel spiritually feel that they should really approach the obstacle before they go over it. Then they are very close, they think they are going to hit it, and the leg ends, leaving, “he said.
“It simply came to our notice then. The goal is to influence the leg.
“It’s a case of being courageous to understand that you can get back later with the speed and the moment you have already built.”
And keeping the moment is another problem that masters can fight. During the obstacles of 100 m, going to all 10 obstacles or 110 m obstacle is a challenge.
“When you have space, reaching the end, you have to load 120 and 150 meters of surfaces during training,” he advises.
“If I had to do a racing of 110 m in the early spring, I will fight, because I spend all the winter training for 60m inside.
Many masters are struggling to the distance from the first obstacle. Or it’s too far or very close because obstacles have changed. What will you offer?
Similarly, it is three-strong, there is also the “ideal” number of first obstacles. “If the Master’s athlete has the same strength and strength in the first few steps, and they can maintain eight steps to the first obstacle, then it is the best,” he said.
“I still use eight steps.
And getting that first obstacle is supreme for the rest of your run.
“The first obstacle to me is the most important,” Elliott explains. “If your cover is incorrect, you mess with the whole race. Then you play catch, and if you compete against the same caliber athletes, it is too late to fix it. “
The eight steps are struggling with it, there are several options.
“One option has exchanged legs in the blocks and fitting in seven steps, especially if you fight, because the first obstacle is too close,” Elliott explains.
“The other option to handle block position. You should not always have your hands on the start line.
Another adjustment can be made in the first few steps.
“You can also look at your first one or two steps. If the first obstacle is too far away, increase the first step, or even the first two large, or then extend them. “
And if other adjustments don’t work, move the blocks, changing the first few steps, there is another option, but it comes with warning.
“If the first hinder distance is still too far away, try nine steps. But if you do it, it should be a quick turnover.
We have said a lot about how obstacles can maintain their own way, because they are transposed out of the elders to master barriers, but how would you like to start before you start?
One of the big things about the master’s athletics is that it attracts new people joining the community and first of all experiences the athlete, as well as to achieve 35.
As part of a voluntary role as a Newf AmbassadorAnd Elliott is passionate about to encourage other masters to athletes to prevent it from.
So if you were inspired, Elliott received great advice for you too.
The best approach for full beginners has started small. “Get some obstates in SAQ, keep the first to the sign, squeeze the next and just build your trust,” he said. Rather than trying to hit the obstacles in three steps, athletes must first focus on them.
“It is very unlikely that someone who has never hindered before, can put them on almost all the full sign and move on to three steps,” he explains. “Just get used to the first to run between them, ideally to use the same lead legs, so maybe try five steps first.”
Because you become more confident, keep the height low, but spread the obstacles. When you feel that you are cutting your move, it’s your sign to raise the obstacles a little, spread three steps again.
If the three steps are too difficult to go back to five, confirm trust, then try three times again. Mensah warns that raising the height of obstacles can also change your technique, particularly the path of the trail, so it is important to progress.
Finding a knowledgeable coach can be helpful, but the mensah admits that obstacles are rare. “Even when I was a senior athlete, very few were very few coaches for professionals,” he said. “But there are loads of things on YouTube – some good, some are not so good, but if you stay on the basis, you’ll get somewhere.”
Get your mind and body in sync and listen to the last
There is no hindering durability to hold the same approach to your 20s. It’s about adjusting. Priority mobility, strength and smart training will not only make you competitive, but will help prevent injuries and extend your time in sports.
“When I returned after my five or six years, I was still in the place of an elite athlete. I thought I could train six days a week as before, “he said. “So I went out on the track, did one session, I felt good. The next day I made another session.
It was just a tear, but it kept it longer than it was accustomed. And that was the moment when the hit of reality. Recovery was not going to be as fast as it used to be. “When I was little, something like me would come back for a few days. This took weeks. “
He says he took about 18 months to “synchronize” his brain and his body again so that he hears his body and acknowledges that some things he was talking about. Part of this article – It is necessary to reduce significantly, while others, both flexibility and mobility, need more attention than ever.
Now Elliott is more aware of the changes in his body, but he does everything he can extend his career. “I still have problems with my back,” he admits. “I had the days where I admired because I feel so much pain. I am more sensible now.
And after success, his advice is clear after success. Keep flexibility, build functional strength and do not ignore speed work. For masters, success for Hindlers is going down for the long-term progress of consistency and the right choice. Continue to recycle, continue to improve and continue to clear obstacles over the years.
