You won’t believe the speed setting on Mark Hosana’s treadmill at the FitnessFirst Indor Tri challenge unless you’ve seen it yourself.
During the Fitness First Platinum SM AURA Indoor Triathlon program launch last May 23, 2017 Mark Hosana of the Philippine Triathlon Team won first place and killed
it with an 18.5 km speed on the treadmill ( with 1% incline) after out swimming and out biking his
completion.
This was after running 21km
of rolling hills just 2 days ago at the Cardiac Hills Attack run for a cause.
He can also run 10km in 34 minutes.
That makes Mark Hosana a cerfitified #Mamaw
Got a chance to chat with Mark and asked about his training and
here are some of his training secrets:
Doubles
At the Philippine Triathlon Team, they usually do what elite
athletes refer to as “doubles” (Twice a day training of morning swim and bike
and an afternoon run)
Mileage
His running mileage a week
is an average of 85km a week ( not including the swim and bike) with a
mix of speed and track workouts such as 10 x 1km or 400x 20 at a wasak baga
pace and a weekend, easy long distance
run.
It’s surprising that the only injury he has ever gotten was
on a bike accident and not running related considering the amount of mileage he
does.
Running form
When he runs, he focuses on just maintaining a relax form and stride which was mind blowing to see him
do while running at 16km to a peak of
18.5km per hour on the treadmill
Foot placement (just underneath the hip) foot strike and arm swings are some of the running cues he thinks about to maintain perfect form.
