race walkers
Fast-paced heel-strikers
Race walkers are athletes who compete in race walking, a track and field event requiring continuous ground contact and a straight supporting leg.
The distinctive hip-swiveling gait results from these technical constraints.
Race walkers cover distances from 3 kilometers to 50 kilometers at speeds that would be a respectable jog: The race walkers maintained a pace under eight minutes per mile.
