This was awesome! I have been struggling for the last 2 weeks with some fierce foot pain which has reduced me to walking. Yesterday I could barely do that and made a foot Dr apt. I was feeling depressed this morning thinking of what I could do to work out that wouldn't hurt. Guess what? I have a pool!! It never dawned on me to do this. I'm so excited! Thank you so much for posting this!!

Excellent video! Thank you. Several years ago while training for a second consecutive marathon, I sustained a stress fracture in my right heel bone and couldn't run on land. Determined to run the marathon (Marine Corps Marathon in DC), I water-ran four times a week and used an elliptical machine two times a week. This went on for two and a half months. I completed the marathon forcing myself to run slowly so as to not re-injure the heel - slow time but the aim of completing the race was attained - all thanks to water running. The only downside was the extreme bordom in the pool - so, your tips for reducing boredom are very important!

Can you guys do a video talking about pool recovery or pool workouts after or during a stress fracture, I’m a runner and I recently got a stress fracture so my coach told me to swim and do bicycling to keep the legs going and the cardio up but I don’t really have a exact idea of what to do in the pool so I just swim for half an hour and and ride my bike for 48 minutes

Great video! For those of us following a race schedule, how do we replace our usual runs with aqua jogging? Do you recommend aqua jogging approximately the same amount of time it would take running?

@TheRunExperience 7 жыл бұрын

Mouslim- I'd suggest replacing your easy or recovery run with some aqua jogging OR add it to a day that was shorter - that way you are doing a 'double run' day without the pounding. Time... its harder than you think, start with 30min and build up. An hour is PLENTY.

i aqua jogged for the first time today. I put a dumbbell floatation device in each hand, put the under the water and ran through the water while pumping my arms as quickly as I could and running at the same time. I did this for an hour and a half and did an hour and a half of swimming as well. In addition, I lifted weights for another hour and a half. I am now completely worn out. Is this common? Did I work out effectively? How long do I have to do this before I am no longer worn-out afterwards?

I am disabled so I don't walk very much. I can walk, just not far. I have been toying with the idea of Aqua jogging but the only pool that I have available is a lap pool in my adaptive PE program at school. The example that you showed was in the deep end of the pool. Is there a way of Aqua Jogging in a shallow pool or does that defeat the purpose. Also, I saw Aqua Jogging shoes are these necessary?

I enjoyed this but wondered why you didn't put more emphasis on the aqua jogger belt. A lot of us are in no danger of drowning in our pools but the belt keeps us in a better position for our backs. It is not a life saving device.

@shanaj3778 7 жыл бұрын

Hi, can you do a modified version in the shallow end? Thanks!

@TheRunExperience 7 жыл бұрын

I'm sure! We'll have Coach Elizabeth weigh in here :)

@TheRunExperience 7 жыл бұрын

Coach Elizabeth here- It's a little different if you're doing it in shallow water. Low-impact shallow-water jogging requires that you be able to touch the bottom of the pool at all times, ideally, you are at least waist deep, but the higher the water comes the better. (WARNING) The impact your body experiences with this type of aqua jogging is minimal, but it should be taken into account if your joints are especially sensitive. As opposed to deep-water jogging, the running motions should not be exaggerated -- they should closely resemble those of regular running. You should focus on mimicking your normal running style as much as possible and also focus on contracting your muscles throughout the exercise as you move through the water. Good posture entails a straight back with your head up and shoulders back. Hope this helps :-)

@sp0zlizard 7 жыл бұрын

The Run Experience Thanks Shana and Elizabeth for asking and answering what I was thinking about while I was watching this. Our pool is chest deep so it'll probably be a hybrid technique of the two. Also thanks for the vid as well. I am Recovering from a calf strain or tear and have just been swimming at the moment because I didn't know what else to do. Excited to try this in the morning.

@sp0zlizard 7 жыл бұрын

Just an update after attempt 1 (yesterday): Since applying weight/force is still not a good option for me at this particular time (i.e pushing off the bottom of the pool) I tried to see what I could manage in the style in the video. Again I have a chest deep pool in our building, but unfortunately I did find it too hard as my knees were coming up to my chest and expended too much energy trying to stay afloat. What I did manage was laying on my side (with one shoulder to the bottom and one to the ceiling, but slightly angled to keep my head above water) and the straight-leg was very doable and had me going end-to-end of the pool rather quickly. The bending leg technique hand me spinning (when I was on my side) but I will try again as I think that I got it somewhat wrong. I'll keep using these as I can until I can start adding more force. Thanks all.

I currently have a plantar fasciitis and I have decided to stop any activities (using gravity) to heal myself. I usually run 15K in 1hr15 min (like three times a week). I have a marathon coming. How many minutes do you suggest me to train aqua jogging to keep my endurance? Another thing, If the swimming pool near my place is not so depth and I can touch the ground of it, can I still run along the swimming pool? I guess the contact is still very limited.

@susanlamprecht6404 5 жыл бұрын

First time viewer... you might have answered this in a previous video and I will watch some. I’m 66 years old and about 25 pounds overweight. I do water aerobics class and yoga class a few times each weekly at the gym . My schedule is such that I have time to do aquafit on my own as well 3 or 4 times a week for under an hour . Sometimes it’s just easier to jog and do laps if I have to share a lane with a few swimmers. I have grown to love water jogging. The pool goes from 3 ft to 4.6 ft and back to 3 ft. So I don’t think I can do deep water running. My concern with the video of your son running in the water is that his heel never touched the floor. Why don’t his calves cramp up? I actually think that for me the low impact of water jogging plus letting my heel come down will help my muscles. What do you think? Thanks for doing these videos.

I had minor ankle sprain 2 days ago. I can now walk comfortably but still have a little bit of swelling, limited range of motion and slight pain at the end of range of motion. I'm doing light stretches and ankle exercises already. Can I do this exercise? So I can resume to land jogging soon?
