Hosted by Glen McWaters, the inventor of the Wet Vest which made this activity possible and is featured in this video. Runner's World magazine labeled deep water running as one of the 25 best training tips of all times in their in their 25th annual edition. In this video Joan Benoit-Samuelson discusses how water running has improved her fitness level. Most of the under water images, and there are a lot of them, come from American miler Steve Scott who is featured on the cover and demonstrates outstanding form. Sprinter Willie Smith also shares a short endorsement of this program. With water running you can increase the intensity of a workout without increasing risk of injury as well as using this system to return from injury. Form and perceived exertion are illustrated before five categories of training are outlined: Easy, long sustained runs, fartlek, overstriding, and interval training. Next, sample workouts are provided for the competitive distance runner, once a day runner, and sprinter with both off season and race season specificity. The last ten minutes focuses on using this technique in rehabilitation and this is where McWaters tells his own story of returning to running after being shot in the leg during military combat. To learn more about this method you can visit Wet Vest.com that works in association with Hydrofit.com where you will find many products and videos, however, not the video featured here as it is no longer available new. You will have to keep an eye on the auction sites to pick this one up.
