Do you lean at the end of a race or is it chest up?

Question

Like after a sprint or like any kind of running event? like whats best?

Answer 1

if your sprinting you can lean if the person next to you is right next you so then you win but if its a long race it really doesnt matter . you just need a really good kick.

Answer 2

definitely lean... it could b the difference b/w 1st and 2nd... but really thats usu. 4 sprints... i dont c ppl do it as much in distance races

Answer 3

Ya you should lean in a sprint race but make shure not to throw your arms back. (I once did that in a xc race and hit the kid right by me in the face..)

Answer 4

you only lean if the race is really close and the extra inches of leaning will help you win, if there is no one right by you there is no need to lean
