💡Coaching Cues
- ✓
Start slow and warm up gradually - never start at full sprint speed
- ✓
Maintain upright posture throughout - leaning heavily on rails ruins your form
- ✓
Focus on mid-foot landing for smooth, natural stride pattern
- ✓
Let your arms swing naturally in rhythm with your movement for efficiency
- ✓
Breathe rhythmically and deeply - proper breathing is essential for endurance
- ✓
Always cool down gradually before stopping - never stop suddenly
⚠️Common Mistakes
- ✗
Starting at full speed without warming up - can cause injury or loss of balance
