Have you ever done things as part of your training that you've changed?I guess I should re-phrase that.Are there parts of your training process that you look back on now and realize it to be wrong?That's not an easy thing to do. And I don't mean that it's hard to recognize mistakes we've made. Instead it's hard to acknowledge that we were wrong. It's hard to admit we weren't right.But that happens. And it's process of the progression of the training process. As better information becomes available it's only natural that we adopt the correct information and update programming accordingly.I'm trying to think of examples and the one that comes to mind is recognizing the value of a dynamic warm-up before activity. It used to be people would static stretch as part of their warm-up and jump straight into training.Imagine going to the start line of 10 km race. Very few racers, especially the contenders, will be on the ground holding static stretches for prolonged periods of time.[caption id="attachment_4686" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Rarely will you see this at the start line of a running race.What you're more likely to see is athletes warming up with motion. They will be doing skip drills, leg swings or some other time of activity to loosen up, warm up, activate the core and stabilizers while stimulating the nervous system.[caption id="attachment_4687" align="aligncenter" width="285"] Warming up with butt kicks.Along the lines of looking into the rear-view mirror to see areas of training that have changed there's one that involves recovery.Maybe you've seen pictures of athletes sitting in ice tubes after training sessions to enhance the recovery process. We believed that the ice bath would help with the inflammation response that followed a training session. The cold temperatures would constrict vessels and decrease blood flow to areas of the body...
