Racewalking Technique Step by Step: See the technique you use to racewalk. This includes posture, arm motion, and the distinct stride. You must keep your knee straight from the time your forward foot contacts the ground until it passes under your body. You must keep one foot on the ground at all times.
Obey the Definition First. Becoming a legal race walker requires walking without violating either part of the USATF definition. Most likely, when you start to race walk, the previously underutilized muscles required to execute the technique are not strong enough to propel you properly at fast speeds. Most beginning walkers’ initial paces are in the range of 10:00 mins/mile to 15:00 mins/mil.The technique needs to be learned and doesn’t necessarily come naturally, so it may take some time before the walking feels comfortable.
Those interested would do well to get a little beginner training under their belts through a local clinic so they learn to do it.And the best way to develop good technique is simply to practice, practice, practice. The advice of a knowledgeable coach can be a great help in preventing bad form from becoming habit.
Race walking is a type of speed walking that balances the physical activities of running and walking. Race walking has many of the same benefits as running, but it is lower impact. This makes race.These are the essential tips you need to know to get started and ride with confidence.

It does not involve a ball, thus is not a sport. It’s a race. Thus a competition.
Minutephysics dropped the ball on this one. Racewalking is in denial about outrageous flaunting of regulations. If the very definition was to move as fast as you can with a straight front leg and without a random judge deciding you are leaving the ground then fine. But the rule state both feet should be on the ground. Its like saying lets drug test all cyclists, but only use biochemical knowledge and lab equipment from the 70s. Basically racewalking as a sport is a joke.
I didn’t even know about the 90 degree and along the hips, new to the race walking this will make me much faster than I am
I believe it was Hemingway who said that there are only 3 real sports: bull fighting, motor racing and mountaineering, the rest are just games. so no, racewalking is not a sport;)
Si supiera un poco el autor de este video sabria que si que hay perduda de contacto en la marcha, siempre, pero eso si esta permitido. Lo que no esta permitido es q se vea. Hay perduda de contacto pero esta perduda tiene q veres a simple vista. Enteraros un poco
I just wonder, when there’s so many fun sports, why pick something called pedestrianism
Excellent demonstration. One of the better ones I have watched. Thank you.
The best game ever is catch. Only worth doing with an undefinable combination of cooperation and competition. Enjoyable between players of widely mixed ability. No judges needed. And rules would ruin it.
Thank you SOOOO much for the clear explanation and examples!!! ������
One thing I have been noticing in the RW videos is how he is using the line they are walking on for foot placement. There is something about keeping the inside of your feet along the same line axis. This is definitely different than speed walking where you use your natural gate to propel you (sometimes with the feet wider than closer) I found this post very helpful.
I think the argument made here is rubbish a proper sport has discrete rules, the ball is in or out in tennis, the first person to get to the end of a 100m race unaided wins, they can crawl there if they like as long as they get there first!
There are events like synchronised swimming and ice dancing that have artistic judgements, but I don’t personally regard them as sports, they are shows in my view.
The REAL problem with walking is that as you start to get good at it and speed up you effectively do a form of running and inevitably break the basic rules of walking having a set of judges making arbitrary decisions pretending they can or cannot see it is ridiculous.
I know that race walking is hard but it’s also a nonsense.
Are you trying to tell me that these two girls had never raced walked before? this is discouraging LOL
Guatemala won 2nd place in 2012! I’m so proud of my country!
2:20 omg that image with the two guys playing tennis with a soccer ball and no racket
you know, you could say im a professional at race walking, i walk faster then my mom if i want too and my mom is 45% (visualy) leg (+leg attachment points)
Well no, but track and field is not a sport either. The litmus test is defense; if no one is trying to stop you, it’s not a sport. Sorry track, gymnastics, swimming, golf, archery, etc. You’re still a difficult physical activity. Just not a sport
Technically it’s illegal to commit a crime and impossible for something to have zero probability.
it’s much easier to judge than to try. i tried long distances to run and to walk. that comletely different types of action. i enjoy both, but noticed recently that race walking improves your regular walking posture a lot. good luck!
I used these techniques to race walk this morning. My calves are on fire but I love not pounding my joints. I did four short sessions but I am determined to conquer this thing.
Why not change the rule so the lowest foot only alowed to be Xcm from the ground.
They caught that so quickly and it’s not a natural way to walk
Great channel, I subscribed! Did you check smzeus[.]com?? It would help you grow your channel much quicker.
Yesterday I did my first 10 km marathon in 1:51:00 and I am over 50 years and Asma
It pains me to see whenever I see race walkers do their strides. The amount of pain I’d imagine compared to a regular 5k race would be excruciating…
This feels like some 1 April joke!
Why does this video even exist?!
I hate to break it to you race walking guys/girls but there’s a thing called running, you should try it you could run up to 30km/h but if you want to train to last longer there’s this thing called jogging or a marathon. Idk if you guys/girls ever heard of it but it’s an amazing way to improve endurance while still running fast.
I like all the videos professor Ian Whatley teaching right technique
no clue, I’ve never done this type of racing. But I do remember from my earlier days of walking and running some walkers that could do a full marathon in less than 6 hours, I still consider them awesome to this day:)
Pretty stupid video mate..None of the other sports u mentioned go against your body’s nature like race walking does
Everyone in the comments needs to show some respect! I bet you us racewalkers can walk faster then you lazy people, just relaxing and hating on us.
I don’t think the majority of people slouched down onto one very important issue regarding this: the judges don’t really judge if you cheated. They are there to determine whether you have a good, proper technique or not. You are being awarded for the proper technique and punished for lack thereof, not judged in regards to cheating.
The one who created this video just managed to underestimate the training and the sweat of thousands of athletes. How reliable is the method of checking the rules can not support that it is not a sport. I admire these people because they are not just athletes but champions. And many racewalkers can do their “funny walk”, as you said, faster and longer than the people that actually run.
This is an excellent video but I think the question is this? If there are rules, why are they able to be enforced subjectively and arbitrarily by the ‘human eye’ of judges? It means that athletes (walkers) who have trained for years can be DQd by the subjective judgement of judges while other walkers, who may also be cheating are not DQd. Kerry Saxby, who held many world records, and the current Chinese record holder, both break the race walking rules. How can the sport have legitimacy if the rules are not enforced objectively? See video ‘Race walking or Race Jogging ‘
I understand its place:
1. It is not wise to just run around. Walking is way of self transportation. Speed walking and running is not energetically the same.
2. From point 1: There are gazillion of different running events in athletics therefore introducing walking makes some sense. There are also lots of different kinds of events in gymnastics as well (includes strange stuff).
3. I hate running.
4. It is exiting to follow in 20x times normal speed and curling beats it hands down
5. Arbitrary weird stuff is just cool.
The whole point of sports is to have fun. Otherwise, it just seems silly.
Playing this in Mario and sonic 2012 Olympic Games was the most fun I ever had playing a Summer games.
The point is, that with high speed cameras in race walking, it would be impossible to walk as fast as we do know without breaking the rules. So race walking would be less exhausting as it is now. And then, it would definitely be no sport.
btw: The rule says that “Race walking is a progression of steps so taken that the walker makes contact with the ground so that no visible (to the human eye) loss of contact occurs.” That’s why only a few race walkers break the rules.
when i first saw racewalking i thought that were a race for special olympics. This and curling are the most stupid olympic sports.
Tiger woods said something about that if you can chew tobacco while playing then it isn’t a sport
what picture will I use for “arbitrary rules in sports?” “Oh right quidditch exists. I’ll use quidditch.”
Arbitrary rules are at the heart of sport. Technology is problematic, partly because it would make it considerably more expensive and impractical to organise races, particularly in poorer countries.
However, the subjectivity of the rules is a problem. The thing is that race walking is thing that can be recognised but can’t be perfectly described, so the technical definition is imperfect. There is a vague threshold where, to me, a small loss of contact is still race walking. As a result, there is inbuilt subjectivity and the flaws associated with that. Even worse is that the judges are not judged or really kept in line to try and limit subjectiveness.
I am a race walker and I, for one, do not get photographed or videoed breaking contact with the ground and, as a result, I am a bit slower. It is easier to go faster if you come off the ground. It is annoying when people suggest that all race walkers do it.
Isn’t sport defined as an activity where a single person or a team competes in organized events to win over one another in a set of rules designed to test their physical or mental skill? In this case, it should fall under the category of being a sport
I came for that final burst of giggle from those adorable girls!
I finally understand the point of sports as a whole now. So, thanks?
My PE teacher says that video games, chess, and everything you can do competitions in is a sport. I don’t really trust him…
Race walking would be a pretty cool sport if they did use some form of electronic device to know whether an athlete is leaving the ground during the race. To me that is the main difference between running and walking is the fact that in walking you don’t lose contact with the ground and in running, you do. To enforce the rule about the supporting leg being strait seems ludicrous to me, if all through the races everybody is violating the contact with the ground rule. If they did enforce that rule the world records would all have to be changed, because ALL of the records were made while cheating.
What’s the next silly sport? trying to fall down as slow as possible?
Racewalking isn’t a sport. Sports are games; racewalking is a competition.
Watch Vsauce’s “Why Do We Play Sports?” to get as n explanation.
Can you do a video on whether NASCAR is considered a sport, and hope much strength it takes?
Have improved a lot since I took up race walking, can go below 11 minute per mile, not too bad for my age, still would love to break 10 minute…
0:35 uh i dunno what ur talking about MLB uses instant replays.
Thanks for the video. Good instruction. These two learners know what they are doing. The coach didn’t say anything about pushing off the back toe.
Hikers are athletes too, but the vast majority are not sports[wo]men. Being an athlete is not sufficient to be a sports[wo]man. According to some definitions, it is neither necessary nor sufficient.
Looking at the comments, I’m not sure how many people got that this seemed to be a metaphor…
Where’s Mr. T with his snickers gun? That would have made this video worth watching.
(Uptade) Now, in some of the major indoor volleball leagues, the captain or coach can request to roll the replay of the last rally if they consider that the judge have made a poor decision. And the judge can determine based on the replay if his decision was okay. Just saying…
is it fuck. let’s face it, if it is, it’s a pretty boring one. you won’t be panting after a mile like you are in a 5k.
So enlightening! the sweep and chip drills are excellent. Thanks a lot
I find that it wasn’t hard to learn this, even with out instruction… just did it… was so easy=)
I don’t understand why people are confused lol. It is a sport that has technique, it’s not just “hey go walk” NO, there is a way You’er suppose to walk. It, in fact, burns a lot of calories (if done correctly). Also, the walkers have to walk on a long track and that would make anyone tired.
First time I hear the MinutePhysics animator say: “I don’t know…”
DUDE Vox just ripped off your final punch line about the rules and athletes having to struggle with them. Unless you work for Vox..
omg this was created 7 years ago and just recommended to me now
Why don’t they allow them to be airborne for a maximum of 0.1275 seconds at a time and no more than 10.934% of the intire race as long as the leg is strait for a minimum of 0.362 seconds each stride and don’t exeeds an average hight of 5.31 cm while cheeting. That way it’s a lot easier for everyone to declare the winner.
Or just have them pick up the milk on their way fooling about.
As a racewalker myself, it is a sport. Many people say it’s not a sport, and people have even said that Track and Field isn’t a sport. Everyone I know who racewalks takes it seriously. The definition of sport is: “an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.” And I can say that yes, you do exert A LOT of energy, and teams and individuals compete against each other in racewalk. Now I know that people won’t agree with it, but thats my opinion. If anyone does take the time to read this, then I would just like to get my point out saying; PLEASE do not catcall at racewalkers!! We are not trying to impress anyone that is attracted to that racewalker. People who are racewalking are doing it for the sake of doing it, not to impress people or look sexual.
Nothing to do with physics, but the video made me smile. <3 Thanks.
