BLOG 14/25
THE AGELESS ATHLETE
May 15th 2024
BY MARTIN PARNELL AND MALC KENT

Chapter 9
Racing 5’s and 10’s (Part 2 of 2)

The Wednesday before the Sporting Life 10K Malc and I talked strategy. My plan was to “Do a good warm-up and run how I feel.” The course was a point-to-point and net downhill. Malc told me to go with an open mind and not to get stressed if I looked at my watch and found I was going at a faster pace on the downhill, using gravity, to keep my cadence up on the downhill, so that I would not be breathing too hard. Malc said, “Don’t think about the finish time, but just run as fast as you can.”

Malc and I were very pleased as to how the week’s training went – I saw the value of a good warm-up and also how the fartleks went – 20 × 3 minutes faster pace / 2 minutes slower pace. Malc thought that as I was able to complete these, I’d be probably running faster than I think I could. Today’s question came from Sue in Cochrane. Sue happens to be my wife, and she’d noticed, when I was running the strides along the pathway outside their home, that I don’t use my arms and she wondered if this made a difference.

Malc’s response was that the arms create momentum, the body works as a linked system, and you can affect the body both up and down. He added that parts of the body can resist rotation and torque and hence store up energy and release it in opposite directions. Sprinters use their arms a lot. You can still achieve a high energy output without a lot of arm swinging, if you manipulate the energy from your upper arm to create movement and torque, but it’s a lot easier if you have a longer “lever” and use your hand.
