Running Contacts

For more on running contacts, it's best to join running contacts class or get a Running Contacts DVD. This page is meant for those who just have a quick question or want to show their finished product - you are very welcome to do so, it still brings a smile to my face when I see a beautiful running contact, it's something addictive about it. It is on times frustrating as well... -  but it all makes the end result even sweeter. So... Happy training, everybody!

    Dear Silvia
    I bought your DVD, but I’m not sure how I have to go on with our rc’s on DW. I really hope you can give us an answer and help.
    Kirima doesn’t know 2o2o, just rc’s. On full height she sometimes get’s the contact, but often pretty much high (in my eyes), and sometimes she’s leaping (often when she runs the whole DW). It’s not consistently. She’s not experienced with full height.
    If I go one stage lower with the DW, it’s the same result. Her best hits and style to run, I think so, is again one stage lower (about 83 cm height).
    Shall I train more sessions on this height (the lowest one) and then raise the DW?
    Or shall I train the full height with throw the ball first and then do the GTCG?
    Or shall I give her time to find out the best running style to get the contact on full height (I guess she runs full speed on it) and looking on her hind feet separation?
    Does it make sense if I train twice a day? How many repetitions do you recommend in one session? (I couldn’t find it on your DVD)
    I’m very uncertain how to go on with it….. I hope you can help us.
    Thank you

    RC DW Kirima

      I would go to her last good height yes, do some more challenges there and try to select for the deepest hits -- I think her separation could still be better?

    Thank you very much for your fast answer! Hmm yes, your right… I try to click for her best separations and deepest hits… or would you go back to a flat plank and let her just run?

      You can try what you get on flat, compare and then decide based on how much of difference there is.
