HISTORY OF RETRO RUNNING
 
 
   

THE INTERNATIONAL HISTORY OF RETRO RUNNING IS SO RICH IN HUMAN EXPERIENCES AND SPORTS EXPLOITS THAT IT DESERVES TO BE WRITTEN...

THE CHINESE HAVE BEEN PRACTICING BACKWARD WALKING
AND BACKWARD RUNNING FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

THEY ARE THE PIONEERS OF THIS EXTRAORDINARY WAY OF LIFE!
   
   

THEN BACKWARD RUNNING DEVELOPED THROUGHOUT THE XXth CENTURY in United States where famous figures of American Sports were great promoters. We can quote among others: William Muldoon - World Greco-Roman Wrestling Champion, Gene Tuney -World Boxing Champion, Bill Robinson - Famous Tap-Dancer, Ed. Schultz - Athlete, Coach Al Feola - College of Fullerton, Horace Blackley, Gary Gray - Therapist who develops Retro Training as method of rehabilitation in his clinics, Pat Murphy - one of the great innovators of fitness in the United States in the 80's, Professors Barry Bates and Janet Dufek, and many other American Professors (Flynn, Arata, Soutas-Little, Amstrong, Devita, Ashley-Ross, Nadeau, ect). Then three people played a determining rule, Dr Robert K. Stevenson in 1981 publishing: BACKWARDS RUNNING and Ron Austin, who did fantastic work for the promotion of Retro Runnning over many years and currently Bud Badyna and many other retro runners.
   
   

TODAY, MANY RETRO RUNNING RACES ARE ORGANIZED IN EUROPE (Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, The Netherlands,  Switzerland, United Kingdom, etc)

BUT ALSO IN THE WORLD (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, South Africa, Taiwan, United States). Every month new races and events appear, providing a counterbalance to the blinkered rush of humankind, enabling us to step back and reflect differently...


 BACKWARD RUNNING CAN
CHANGE THE MILLENNIUM
   
   
   

THE EMERGENCE OF
BACKWARD RUNNING IS
NOT A MATTER OF CHANCE
 
 

It is both a sign and the symbol that something “in the air” is becoming reversed. This new way of running announces the beginning of a new civilization. To reverse the most basic and common act of man, walking or running, is tantamount to touching his essence. What could be more effective than this simple exercise which will modify our view of everything? It can change our human relationships, our relationship to money, our conception of time, and at the social level can alter the face of our cities, our transportation and exchange systems, etc. At a time when an unprecedented human mutation is taking place before our very eyes, the advent of Backward Running, if practised as an exercise conducive to a change in our perceptions, can bring down the certainties that underlie the general escapist movement. More than words can, a backward motion of our bodies will provoke a fundamental questioning of our commonest attitudes and bring about the social change that the urgency and gravity of the problems of our day require.

UNDERSTANDING THE BENEFITS
 
 

English  -  French  - Spanish  - Italian
 
 
 
 

BACKWARD RUNNING HAS BEEN THE FOCUS OF SEVERAL INVESTIGATIONS IN OUR LABORATORY. IN THE BIOMECHANICS/SPORTS MEDECINE LABORATORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON OVER THE PAST TWENTY-FIVE YEARS, WE HAVE EXAMINED LOWER EXTREMITY FUNCTION AND INJURY MECHANIMS, AND HAVE DEVELOPED A BROAD KNOWLEDGE BASE RELATIVE TO BOTH FORWARD AND BACKWARD RUNNING. TO THIS END, WE CAN SPEAK CONFIDENTLY TO DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TWO FORMS OF LOCOMOTION AND CAN FURTHERMORE IDENTIFY POTENTIAL TRAINING AND REHABILITATION BENEFITS THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED BY INCORPORATING BACKWARD RUNNING INTO A TOTAL FITNESS PROGRAM.

BACKWARD RUNNING
 

UNDERSTANDING THE TECHNIQUE
 
 

THE IDEAL PLACE TO BEGIN IS AN ATHLETICS STADIUM
 
 
 
 

BEGIN SLOWLY, STRECH YOUR CONSCIENCE AND YOUR SPINAL COLUMN TOWARDS THE TOP AND TOWARDS THE BACK, TOWARDS THE SKY AND THE EARTH. RAISE YOUR CENTRE OF GRAVITY AND IMPROVE STEP BY STEP AMPLITUDE OF THE STRIDES. RUN ALTERNATIVELY ON SHORT DISTANCES TO BEGIN: 10 METRES BACKWARD AND 10 METRES FORWARD, DURING 10 MINUTES FOR EXAMPLE. TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION, MOVE WITH A LATERAL MOVEMENT OF LEGS, WITH A VERTICAL SUSPENSION AND GO TO THE OTHER DIRECTION. TAKE YOUR TIME TO TEST BACKWARD RUNNING.THEN IMPROVE PROGRESSIVELY THE DISTANCE, ALWAYS ALTERNATIVELY: 100 METRES BACKWARD/100 METRES FORWARD, 400 M.B./400 M.F., 1500 M.B/1500 M.F., 3000 M.B/3000 M.F., 5000 M.B/5000 M.F., 10000 M.B/ M.F., HALF BACKWARD/FORWARD MARATHON, BACKWARD/FORWARD MARATHON.

AN EXTRAORDINARY GLOBAL EVOLUTION

EDUCATION IS MIXED AT SCHOOL - MOST SPORTS ARE INDIVIDUAL OR TEAMS SPORTS. NO SPORTS INVOLVING COUPLES OF MIXED GENDER ARE LEARNED DURING OUR CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENCE. MAYBE, IF THERE WERE MORE MIXED SPORTS, FOR EXAMPLE: FIGURE SKATING, ACROBATIC ROCK AND ROLL, SPORTS DANCE, MIXED GYMNASTICS, MIXED SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING, OR ALTERNATIVE MIXED RUNNING, THERE WOULD BE MORE COMMUNICATION AND UNITY BETWEEN WOMEN AND MEN AND BY EXTENSION, MORE FRIENDSHIP, MORE LOVE AND MORE HARMONY IN COUPLES ON THE EARTH. THE ALTERNATIVE MIXED RUNNING IS THE NEXT STEP OF ATHLETICS FOR THE NEXT MILLENNIUM.
