2002-04-01 Thread Dan Kaplan

Y ask: For past several years, I've concluded all my track workouts with a brisk lap -- walking backwards. I've had no hamstring problems since. (I've also heard that HSI sprinters warmup with backward strides.) Recently I was informed of a retro-running Web site: http://www.backward-running-
