Race Walk 101 - How-to and Learning the Basic Techniques for Racewalking - Advice from Coach Carmen

Olympic-style race walking has been an event in the modern games since 1908. The rules are simple:
1. Land with a straight knee that remains straight until the hip has passed over the supporting leg and;
2. Keep at least one leg in contact with the ground at all times.

While judges determine your ability to maintain correct form in official races that range from 1500 meters - 50,000 meters, many walkers simply enjoy this full-body exercise for an awesome low-impact cardio fitness in their neighborhood.
