HI David Weck right here. Immediately I will train you one thing known as “The Hanging Step”. It’s about creating impulsive energy all through your physique that connects your physique from the hand to the foot. It should successfully offer you an influence pulse of effectivity the place we wedge the physique to harness the gravity floor response pressure with higher timing and place to provide you a extra environment friendly working stride.
I will train two methods: To drill it and be taught it. After which I’m going to point out you the best way to apply it to be able to be taught to run with better effectivity.
You are going to start by making a fist however it’s not going to be a traditional fist as a result of this [makes fist] is a really constricted posture that is why. We instruct runners by no means clench your fist if you run, so what you’re going to do fairly than this [makes conventional fist] is you are going to fold fingers flat for this wrap the thumb round it. I will be utilizing a CoreFIST. You’ll be able to be taught extra in regards to the CoreFIST at WeckMethod however for proper now Quick n Simple is correct right here. Fold the fingers flat; you start inside uppercut simply clapping the fingers collectively. It isn’t about hitting it onerous, it’s in regards to the timing.
And what I wish to do is I will land on the proper foot, I will join with the proper hand. And so it is simply this movement proper right here. You wish to arrange by a Energy Place™ so not loads of arch within the again and also you simply wish to time that sequence. And it is simply, consider it as a bit as a superfast instantaneous pulse of energy that as quickly because it hits it simply disappears. So not carry rigidity and it’s that timing and positioning. Right here you possibly can choose up the tempo. And what you wish to really feel is, imagined that when the hand is placing right here, think about that it is the heel that is placing as much as the hand. There’s connection unification: the hand and the foot make that occur. Okay, you are clearly going to try this with each side.
You’ll be able to swap and simply getting that timing proper. That little energy pulse in order that your first simply step, that full steadiness on the foot to placing. And I’ll generally do form of only a one-two-three, and pause it. One-two-three-four, and I will climb up the ladder. One-two-three-four-five, and I will simply get that timing synced up.
Subsequent approach is a run and punch in opposition to a floor. You need sufficient weight that it is going to forestall you from shifting ahead. And the concept is that if we wish to transfer ahead, we now have to drop into backward. And that dropping backwards goes to wedge the physique ahead. Do not hinge ahead on the hips, and push and lean Energy Place™ so that you’re main from the pelvis. After which it is simply run and punch collectively.

As quickly the foot is touchdown you are projecting the punch ahead, and it isn’t a combating punch it’s a projecting punch the place I am simply wedging. And movie such as you do a plank or a push-up the place it is simply that stable. It’s linked to my core and you may even preserve it contained in the hip joint. And the concept is that if the bag is not there and I BOOM, it is going to ship me ahead. BOOM, ship me ahead and the bag stopping me teaches me the best way to simply loosen up, drop my weight down, the bone alignment by the Energy Place(TM). The fist and the foot give me a wedging impact. After I’m harnessing the gravity floor response pressure and creating what we name “easy energy”. And you are able to do this as a conditioning train as nicely if you happen to simply run and punch. Be sure the timing is on after which [hit hit hit hit hit] elevated the velocity do this between one and 4 minutes.
You may have a pleasant little cardio set however extra essential for the aim of this train approach is you’re going to begin to create that reference to BOOM [create connection]. So to follow these two methods and also you get snug with the timing, now you go to use it the subsequent time you exit for a run. Begin very slowly and the concept is you are simply going to attach. You’re going to think about that when the foot hits, it is a strike, do not chase it. Gravity coming down at 9.8 meters per second squared so let it come to you. So it is right here increase increase increase increase increase and also you simply run and pulse and increase. It’s a pulse of energy that as quickly as that foot hits and the hand you visualizes increase, there is a connection that make it disappear quick occurs. And simply change to the opposite aspect and also you simply sync that up.
And you might be good and sluggish. I am not truly jogging as a result of I’m this area however it’s simply that easy and picture that, think about that after I land right here, think about that you may help all the burden attainable by your bone construction. You need it to really feel like BOOM, you may load up 600 kilos and I am able by a Energy Place™ of the hip that’s simply going to BOOM.
I’ve informed all physique structural integrity for simply that break up second and then you definately time that after which after you’ve got finished that you just neglect about it. You simply run the way in which you wish to run and also you let what you’ve got developed seep in and materialize by muscle reminiscence. The extra you do to drill right here and you may flip the wrist to palm down, flip it to going through you “increase bloom increase” create just a little spiraling motion in it however the extra you assimilate that timing within the positioning, the extra it is simply going to ingrain muscle reminiscence. Then you’ll use it and apply it after which it is simply going to vary that point simply synced up the fingers and the ft. Any good runner will inform you that the fingers lead the physique. The fingers will dictate the tempo and also you wish to time it up in order that the fingers and ft are completely synchronized to create a cleaner floor strike. And we name it a floor strike for a motive, as a result of the pressure that you just hit the bottom (so long as the construction shouldn’t be collapsing) you wish to hit the bottom good and onerous, good and quick so that you just create a greater stride size in. If in case you have the structural place it does not beat you down, it truly fortifies and also you create bone density by that placing motion onto the bottom. So I need you strive that out. If in case you have questions, ship them in. I wish to reply the questions for you as a result of it is a actually helpful approach. The folks I’ve taught it to reworked their powerful mudders, and their Spartan Race, and their hour half marathons as a result of they really feel that. And then you definately wish to advance it you go to WeckMethod] and also you be taught the CoreFIST and what this does is it modifications the inner steadiness to be able to truly use rigidity now to create leisure and looseness within the core. It is form of reverse of what occurs in your fingers.
Right here so like I mentioned, for now fold you fingers flats. Run and punch into the pad or the bag. Do your little uppercut “POP POP POP” exit apply it. See what occurs. Watch my different suggestions for head over foot, Energy Place™ as a result of it is an entire physique systemic. Unity is what we would like. And I will wager she’ll be a greater runner. And if you happen to’re not, ask me questions and can dial it in and you’ll be.
Test it out @WeckMethod and keep tuned for extra suggestions.
Thanks.
