NYRR Deep Water Running
What Is Deep Water Running?
Deep Water Running is a modified, non-impact form of running done in place in water wearing a flotation belt. (No swimming is involved.) It entails simulating running motions with your arms and legs, using the water’s viscosity to add challenge to the workout. Routines learned in class mimic land running and include imagined cross country courses, interval training, hill pacing, sprints, and speed work.
