Today Training turned out to be really fun and A LOT of hard work.
I have never racewalked before, so learning all these new techniques is very challenging.
I felt like a cross between a salsa dancer moving my hips and a clown with big feet trying to walk like a duck. So many things to remember to do, Coach Terry telling me " Michelle take shorter steps"," swing those hips more", "make sure your heel comes down first"," lift those toes up Higher"," relax your shoulders", um how do you relax while walking like this? You just keep on practicing!!!!
Our fantastic Coaches had us do several laps back and forth, all of which were different drills to help you perfect your race walking skills. We did a good hour and a half workout and finished up with some really good stretches.
Still can't wait for the nest training on Sat.
