HOW TO START REVERSE RUNNING
Here are James Bamber’s tips for
running in reverse:
running in reverse:
- Choose a flat, wide running surface free of potholes.
- Identify a distance of 50m to 100m in a straight line and walk it first to check for dips or rocks.
- Beginners often find it helpful to run with a partner. As one runs backwards over a short distance, the other runs forwards.
- Lean back, pushing off from your forefoot to drive backwards.
- Try not to look behind too often.
- Begin by incorporating backward running into your warm-up or cool down. Increase the time and distance you are running in reverse.
