Q What is the benefit of running with running poles? Running poles are primarily ?
Q I tend to slump over towards the end of long runs making it harder to breathe – any way to prevent this?
THE EXPERTS
However, if you’re not doing an ultrarun or trail run in a very mountainous area, I don’t think there’s a real benefit to using running poles – they can often get in the way and become more of a hindrance than a support.
A If you’re slumping over towards the end of a run, you’re either not fit enough or you’re tiring. It’s normal to be breathing heavily at the end of a run, but when you lean forwards, it hinders your ability to take dee breaths. This means you’re breathing from the top of your lungs and not the bottom, which doesn’t allow for much oxygen intake. Try standing up straight by pulling your shoulders back and pushing the bottom of your chest out so that you can breathe more fully and deeply. The Airofit (airofit.com) is a great gadget that helps to develop your lung capacity and air intake.
