??? Imagine being sidelined from running for months, and then learning there’s a system that can simulate a workout closer to a run than any other cross-training activity with ZERO impact. I always thought pool running was simply putting on a flotation belt and treading back and forth in a lane (which seemed incredibly boring to me), but then @fluidrunning reached out to me. What a game changer!! They sent me their Fluid Running H2GO System and Media bundle to try out (with no obligation), and as soon as I tried it I couldn’t wait to share my experience because I’m SURE there are others who could benefit from this if you haven’t already heard of it. . The bundle comes with the belt, a tether, a Bluetooth waterproof headset, and access to an app with fully coached deep water workouts. Side note: I use my own pull-buoy tucked into the belt for extra buoyancy and MY HAIR DOES NOT GET WET. ??
? Okay, the other time I got caught in an intense hail storm (true story), but on good weather days this workout has given me a glimpse of that runner’s high I miss so much. Thank you so much @fluidrunning! . I’m happy to answer any questions you might have (and I’m sure they can chime in as well)…To reach your milestone you have to run in water deep enough that you can’t touch the bottom of the swimming pool. Water creates more resistance than air, so it is more difficult to run, which prevents you from damaging your joints.
To properly do deep water running, you need to stimulate your normal running style. Always keep a loosely close fist and let your legs move you forward. Do not ever paddle with open or cupped hands. Also, make sure the bottoms of your feet are kicking the water behind you.
Don’t get scared if your heart rate drops, it will be about 10 percent less than at the same intensity on land.
