Caption: Professional athletes in each event have more obvious external characteristics. Generally, the players who play basketball and volleyball are taller, the muscles of fitness and bodybuilding are relatively strong, and the general eyes of free fighting are more "arrogant". In fact, they run Marathoners also have some obvious external characteristics.
In recent years, the marathon fever is sweeping our country. Previously, most people's concept of marathon stayed on TV, because every year the country can not hold several large-scale events. After 2016, the conditions for applying for the marathon were relaxed, allowing the marathon to truly integrate into the lives of many people. There are as many as thousands of marathon events held every year in China, and the number of people participating in the marathon is as high as tens of millions. The marathon has become The topic of national fitness. However, through careful observation, those with outstanding marathon performance basically have one common feature, that is, "thin".
The top domestic marathon runners such as Dong Guojian and Peng Jianhua, as well as the international excellent marathon runners Dazhejie, Bekler, Kipchoge, etc. are all lean, which also fully illustrates the marathon sport It is a test of endurance, not explosive power. at the same time. In addition to being thin, these people also have a common feature that they are not tall, basically around 1.7 meters, many of them are in their early 1.6 meters. It can be seen that if they are thin enough, height is not a measure of one. The standard of a marathon god.
In fact, many people still have questions. People who run fast have a high pace, and the pace is the result of multiplying the stride length and the stride frequency. A taller person must have a larger stride. There are advantages, but the current facts are not what we see. There are fewer marathon gods who are too tall. In fact, this also shows from the side that the stride frequency is more important, and the great gods finally stand out through the practice of stride frequency and the further improvement of stride length, and it is more difficult for many people with high stride to practice stride frequency.
The basis of practicing stride frequency and stride length is your own strength, and a good strength basis is the guarantee that supports you to complete the marathon. It can also be seen from the big data above,Tall people need more power to run, and large strides may be more laborious than high strides. In any case, this is not important to us amateur runners, nor is it obvious, after all, many people have similar physical conditions. I wish you all the healthier and healthier you run.
