My first ever racewalking 5k time trial!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Sharing my experience learning how to racewalk (still learning). This was after 4-months of trying to figure out the technique and go fast! I have improved since then but still have a lot to work on! This was a few years ago.
Believe my time was just over 26-minutes for 5-kilometres.
I had the wrong shoes, felt like my eyes were bugging out and was working really hard!

WoW, still 26 minutes is 8 minutes less than my first 5 km of my life which I just did this Saturday. But next time I'm going to find a quieter place than the cycle path in front of my house 😅, which will at least help me with my concentration. Thank you for your videos, it’s very interesting and encouraging.
Breathing is the name of the game. You can improve a lot your breathing, by making sure to always keep your head level. If you can nose breathe, you will warm-up the air intake going into your lungs. That will automatically ease your effort. Have fun ! A kind word, from RW coach Luc Bussières.
Thanks for the comment and advice! I have improved alot since that first timetrial- but I am sure as you know - always ways to improve!

I became a NCCP (National Coaching Certification Program) formed coach, on May 23, 2024. I paid 6 hours of extra training specific to RW, at a very high rate, to better what I already knew.
I had the chance to be coached (in 2007) by Enrique Pena who coached Jefferson Perez (20 km RW Gold Medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games). I also trained 2 weeks alongside Philip Dunn (3 times 50 km RW olympian) and John Nunn (3 times 20 km RW olympian).
In 2007, I set the Canadian RW record over 50 km in the 45-49 y.o. age group. In 2007, I also won the gold medal, at the MAC/USATF 2007 - 20K Race Walk Championship in Central Park, New-York. So, I think I know a bit ;-) You can contact me, either by phone (514-208-5410) or by e-mail (lucbussieres2004@yahoo.ca).
Have fun !

That's a quick time. My PR for 5km is about 26:30, but it was many years ago. I doubt I could walk a sub 30 these days.
I have not gotten a lot quicker (24:59) but hoping to go sub 24 before I get too old lol ;)
I’m impressed with your general style and technique.
I would suggest to focus on looking forward and drive a bit more with your arms.
Thanks! This was a few years ago after only a few months of trying to learn the technique 😀
Looks like UA-cam removed a 2nd message I wrote you, around 11h30m (EDT), today. Probably because it had my e-mail address.
To play it safe, I will only write my phone number (514-208-5410).

Love it! Never saw the second message so maybe it did not get through or was automatically deleted! Will reach out. Have a coach but always looking to connect with the racewalk world, learn and get faster!
