Today, t here are regular events hosted up and down the UK dedicated to those who like to run backwards! Since then, backwards running has evolved into a unique sport with distance record holders for varying lengths including m, half marathons, marathons and more. The knowledge and science behind the act has grown as a result. Our understanding of the most efficient actions to practice in order to perform the most effective backwards run is as follows.
An athletics track for example. Begin by positioning yourself in an athletic stance and take a backwards step separating the legs by an equal stride.
Arms held tightly below the body, walk backwards at a slow pace. Gradually increase the speed until you are comfortable, keeping your shoulders over your feet and remembering to regularly take a moment to check behind you. When running backwards, you should push off the floor from the ball of your foot and reach back as far as possible with your leg, activating your gluteus muscles for increased momentum.
Utilising your ankle joint, attempt to perform a soft landing with each stride taken. If this is causing you discomfort, you may benefit from a sports massage focusing on areas which help the ball of the foot, calves or Achilles tendons function optimally, without discomfort or pain.
