Proper Running Techniques : Running Stride Length & Frequency

[dandotreillydot42058]

Is that running or a brisk walk? thats like 10 min mile pace

[dimeswylde]

FOR PROPER RUNNING TECHNIQUE SEARCH FOR TERRA PLANA. its called learn the skill of barefoot running. heel to toe is NOT NATURAL! take your shoes off and run for a few seconds. you may start off heel to toe cause thats what your used to, but your brain will take over and say " this shit sucks and hurts" and you will NATURALLY move to the front of your foot. but not way up on your toes. watch that video from a TRUE expert. not someone that runs more than likely a 30:00 5k. her form is terrible.

[oldpiq]

Listen to her advices and you may as well just amputate your legs right now.

[iaintnofish]

heel to toe is incorrect. Heel to toe running is a result from people buying running shoes with huge heels. Natural running is landing on the balls of your feet like how you would when you run barefoot. You should take the video down expert village.

[GreatBlueKnight]

What a crock of shit!

[toiaish]

thankx i needed major help my leg muscle r sore from improper running...

[xx2RAHxx]

@murdzsuckit hahaha at first i just liked your comment cuz it was true but then when you said that part about the bathtub video i laughed so damn hard hahaha

[arriesgarse]

lol noobvillage

[jasonnz6]

Rubbish and all wrong

[artyman1200]

i'm sooooooooooooo glad she didn't get "technical" on me, let me see if i've got this right - don't run like a retard and always strike with your heel. great advice! and by great i mean crappy.

[themattburns]

she calls heel to toe natural. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

[Basketballer245]

I hate these stupid ass advertisement previews on youtube.

[stuntmunky264]

If you are new to running and are looking up information to get you started then please please please don't pay attention to this! VERY poor advice and no REAL information!

[sports444life]

she actually counts the breaths in between strides?

[VIDTHEYID]

She Is an Anti-Runner, giving dangerous & misleading advice.

[olie353]

It sad but true, she teaches people how to hurt themselves.

DO NOT LAND ON YOUR HEEL! The shock of each step will raise all the way to the top of your head.

[Theone1337hehe]

Fakexpertvillage

[TheBarry7777]

DUMB CUNT ,HEEL STRIKE IS JUST WRONG

TRY HEEL STRIKES RUNNING BAREFEET

[Sn4rk16]

She wanna tell the world that she just learned to run. Props.

[ZQPYU]

Interesting, she talks about proper form incorporating a heel strike, which is disturbing all by itself but when she runs, she lands mid-foot or on the ball. She needs some therapy. 

[enque01]

WARNING ALL VIEWERS! Do not take any advice from this woman! In this video and all others about running she gives completely false and misleading advice. Her advice will directly lead to injuries. She is a complete idiot. This video should be flagged as dangerous and inappropriate.

[amt913]

I think this lady should STOP making all these running videos because she's only giving bad advices. Just look at the number of dislikes on all her videos and you know why. She needs to find better things to do with her time.

[SoleBol]

did she say heal to toes?? oh oh there goes my back !!!

[herenciacarclub63]

my mom is 51 how long should she run ??she likes to run everyday but sometimes i think she's over doing it !the other day she almost passed out =(please help

[alyssalr]

When she was "overstriding" she landed on her forefoot with her left leg. Also, I'm pretty sure everything in her lower leg is atrophied. Time to go barefoot lady. What a terrible video.

[xmewsickx]

you have a horrible form.. you are a bad runner

[AddictedRunner]

she 'runs' like my old neighbors fuck

[cal011316]

have you ever noticed that elite kenyans always bring up their legs that far AND they forefoot/midfoot strike

[FourSeasonRunner]

She jogs like old people fuck... I wish I hadn't seen this video.

[daves106]

you can hear the impact through her microphone that is being gererated when she runs even at this gentle pace.

terrible video.

[vadiuj1]

@daves106 That's the point man! She is running with a huge impact, BUMM-BUMM-BUMM. And trying to sell it as proper running...

[belmontartwork]

bad form...:-O

[nperalta65]

Try to do it without Shoes!!!!

You wil brake your hills!!!!

Be carefull!!!!!

Internet is nice, but we need to post apropriate material!!

[dinglebird93]

she"s stupid you cant over stride



[ChaosKids512]

you NEVER want to run a heel to toe strike! Ridiculous

[justinkwl]

2 words bitch:

KIT-CHEN!!!!

[rawcoachjr]

This woman is trying to emulate ChiRunning technique without knowing or having any experience at all of this. Basically, she is in no place, nor has any experience to advise or teach what she tries to so very badly explain in these videos... Hey honey theres copyright on ChiRunning!

[MrBigdog1219]

saw a monkey at 3:00

[pipayMD]

WTF!

[Stellaleechung]

lol.. this is horrible. She has no proper form.

[gigirty1]

this is what happens when women get out of the kitchen.

[sundinm]

Who is this girl? She doesn't know what she is talking about.

[FourSeasonRunner]

Please disregard this video and everything you hear from this woman because she does not know what she is talking about. She may be good at chemistry or biology but running analysis is not her forte. Listening to her advice will definitely lead to getting injured.

[rockinsurfkid]

"your using your heel to toe strike" and just like that millions of runners are being injured. stupid little girl

[Johnasantiago]

I am not usually inclined to comment on things here, but what I think this person and what she is instructing is dangerous for people seeking help and guidance. While she speak in a tone that would convince someone she is educated on the subject matter, this person is completely unqualified to speak on the subject of running on any level. She is a fraud. You could possibly get injured, waste time and not enjoy running or fitness benefits. Please look elsewhere for advice.

[ItsJustRhys]

Humans run on the balls of there feet, this is an awkward fast walk

[gvigorus]

No no no!!! Do not run using your heel to toe strike. That's just bad advice! Natural running is what one would run like barefoot. You would never run "using your heel to toe strike". This is just bad, i can't believe these people....

[JUNKGEE83]

All women are like that when it comes to training. Completely brain dead. My ex was like that too, the smartest girl I've ever known but she thought that situps would burn fat directly from her tummy. I don't know why they/you are like that..... weird....

[aoluo555]

Have you noticed how people try to make the simplest things more complicated than it really is? Running, even kids can do it.

Its not rocket science.

[aoluo555]

This is like a grade 5 kid teaching calculus to college students.

Painful, yet funny to watch.

[mettabee]

heel striking is terrible advice

[wineandlobos]

teach me how to make out



[jokergd]

What's extra funny is that when this dumbass runs, she's actually landing on the midfoot. Even after preaching HEEL TO TOE landing.

stop spreading misinformation and learn how to run properly before you try to feed your crap to others

[viperdude281]

@jokergd You are actually supposed to land on your midfoot even though she says not to. This video sucks.

[jokergd]

@viperdude281 You're not "supposed to land on your midfoot" it's one option. You can forefoot land too. The key is to avoid heel landing.

Again, I don't agree with her running. I think she sounds arrogant and pushy, and constantly trying to force her ideas on you.

You can also see, in her last demonstration at the end, her previous to last step.

Her left foot goes forward and her toes point down, as if she is intentionally focusing on pointing toes down, as runners with shoes have to do!

[viperdude281]

@jokergd ;-)

[bongapendo]

Bad advice. 

[Exorcist92]

"Jeannette Stojcevski has been an avid runner for over 15 years. Her track career started in middle school and spans through college." There's reason she doesn't have a wiki page :P

[theswindlecat]

how do you sleep at night?

[jesuslivesinmytoilet]

I don't know if this chick knows what she's talking about or not but she's so painfully boring to listen to it doesn't matter either way.

[quintensky]

lol? useless..... everyone knows how to run... and all the people i know, run like how you run... so...............

[HaileLoaf]

look away!!!!!!! she's got fetal alchohol syndrome!

[climbhardv10]

you are a dumb ass....let the body run naturally.....the best way to learn how to run is to turn off the brain and just run......heel toe garbage will only lead to serious injury.....this woman has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what she is talking about.

[purp13hayz3]

this is the worst video i've seen on running stride/form. in another video she teaches you to heel strike! how can an expert be any more wrong? you want to correct your running then research, pose method, heel striking, barefoot and how your conned into believing that more cushion etc in your trainer is better when its the exact opposite.

[AraratCenter]

100% agreed I saw that video too, she is a horrible running instructor. Doing what she does is the quickest way of getting an injury...

[abbgt]

Barefoot/minimalistic running does not mean you actually have to run without anything on your feet.

Go for basic light Keen, Teva sandals that can be tightened on your feet.

[poselsld00]

thx :) expertvillage

[mcmiljr]

I don't understand the obsession with "energy efficiency" when running. If you're not trying to win a race, why does it really matter? The whole point is to burn off that burger and fries, isn't it?

[skull1100]

Then how do you run properly avoiding any injuries?

[speedboarding100]

barefoot running

[marc0p0L079]

This fucking UGLY bitch should get kicked in the face with the HEEL strike as she recommends.

[nick4121188]

Are you joking? Strike heel first? Listen to this moron and enjoy frequent injuries!

[xxxDAPROBLEMxxx]

dumbfuckvillage

[roshanram]

This is some Stupid SHIT by some half-assed evening jogger giving absolutely unscientific advice.

Run barefoot.

[ralphinio4]

Fuck you, hippy!

[midwest9595]

wow, this is just wrong, using a heel to toe strike??? EXPERTvillage my ass...

[nullrouten]

I concur... this video is not a good representation of proper form... telling people to heel strike is not a good idea, even respecting the differing opinions of style.

[timreespt]

please go and study proper bio mechanics in running. DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS WOMEN. stop guessing and look at the science!

[sprkthead2]

Run barefoot.

[speedboarding100]

i agree

[ulisha01]

WHAT KINDA BULLSHIT ... yo you guys should but runing strides for long distance runners because dis is soo wrong

[rr92890]

I'm no pro runner, but this doesn't sound or look right...o_0

[fostever]

Proper stride is mid-foot strike. Many of us have more of a heel strike than we'd like. Teaching heel to toe stride is just plain Wrong. Ignore this advice!!

[Digitalbumpin]

You are absolutely correct.

Anyone telling you to strike with your heel are to be ignored.

[deathsthirdhand]

you can't trust expert village, one of their "experts" says run with a midfoot strike, the other says heel toe, I say look somewhere else for advice,

[NationalPro]

retardvillage

[blue2kid3]

heel to toe is she retarted

[Runaholism]

LOL!

[grambo22]

Honestly does Expert Village do any due diligence on their experts? How can this person claim to have competing in track with such disgusting technique. Heel toe hahaha, and no, you don't have to heel toe on distance runs and your calves will be fine.

[speedyslime93]

I find it hard to believe shes been an 'avid runner for 15 years' with that technique and level of knowledge. I mean im no expert, but plain and simple she needs to learn to run properly herself.

[AlHumdrumP]

personally, I only watch these vids so I can look at the REAL advice from the comments.

[moviedude22]

novicevillage

[perkiomenville]

Anyone who wants to learn how to run properly is advised to check out Monty Python's Bureau of Silly Walks.

[wasinpoiuytrewq]

she no help me

[xxxgroningen]

maybe she's good in bed tough... she can teach me to run, i'll teach her to scream my name :D

[iaccn1f]

i think she need go lern how to run her self

[Skadi2k3]

yes looks like a bad running shape she has there

[JustinSane81490]

Ares is right. It's a good thing EV learned about this and took videos from 2 other people about running. Don't quit your day job dear!

[Ares310788]

why should i follow the "instruction in how to run"... what the fuck ???

by the way you're running NOT correctly, you should land the front part of the foot FIRST, than the back part... front-back front-back for every step... that's the right way to run...

[FOOTBALLER322012]

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!? front-back ARE YOU SHITTING ME LMAO. if anything it should be front ONLY while sprinting, distance runners have to fun heel-toe or it will fuck over your calves. do not listen to Ares everyone hes a joke

[kevbo47]

Ha ha how's the heal toe working for you? 25 min 5K or Shin Splints... what came first?

[Ares310788]

check out how marathon runner run.

obviously NOT completely to the back part... that's obvious...

you're a joke, my gym teacher teach that to us, and i've a parent that was a professionist athlet, what the fuck !

[rich187113]

This would not help me at all. I guess u do the 3000m I am a sprinter.

[AMOODYBLUES]

Disgrace to training.

[djjose2008]

This bitch does NOT know what she's talking about. shes only good in sucking a smelly cock....you stupid cunt..

[unclejoe1953]

Hilarious- The Anti-Pose! I love it! Her technique look perfectly fine for a run in the park with a nice pair of sneaks! Wake up little faddists! You DON"T have to learn to run- especially not posing like a ballerina!

[hivelocity100]

She's hot.

[slayerkid0196]

This women does NOT know what she is talking about. This actually makes running worse!

[Edsta922]

google up Pose Technique or Chi Running, and you're done. This lady's an amateur, sorry.

[nodnarbh9]

No one heed this advice, striking with the heel results in joint pain and shin splints, and eventually serious knee and hip injuries. Your foot should strike the ground between mid foot and the ball.

[Mmxz14]

Completely inefficient anyway, she walks on her heels like every other idiot.

[zambert008]

wow, thank u, please post some more.

[TheTranced]

isnt a 2 foot stride kind of under striding?

im about 163cm at 14 and i take walking strides considerably larger than these.

 her example of a good running style seemed to be an example of overstriding and her example of understiding would probably see you through a walking race without any problems from the judges.

[EM04EvErz]

this doesnt make sense and i didnt learn anything

[FergusPower]

I've flagged this video as Inappropriate: it promotes running in a harmful or dangerous fashion ie, following this woman's advice (other than on where to place your thumbs) will result in injury.

This woman does NOT know what she's talking about.

[nproximos]

this is horrible advice. all good runners know their cadence has to be at least 90 strides a min. distance runners stay closer to 90 while sprinters go up to 200.

advice from a real runner and triathlete

[Kurakashi]

actually i think that this is all incorrect. the most efficient way of running for each person is their own way. i believe that you should do what you do naturally or what you're given rather than get rid of it all for just some technique that is "supposed to be better"..

[Roshibear]

Wow, you've been running for 15 years with horrible destructive inefficeny.

The funny thing is stride length isn't different for different people. This because the optimal stride rate for efficent runnig is right around 181 foot strikes per minute. Which has to do with the elastic recoil from a proper foot strike, but since your other videos suggest heel stiking which by-passes the lower legs desinged elasticity, it's no surprise that you would then go on to get this wrong too.

[Jadore08]

Note that your whole running stride differs if you run mostly on a treadmill.

[Roshibear]

It shouldn't.

[Jadore08]

Mine did because I ran without any elevation resistance.

[petehuss]

Thanks.

[asalexx]

don't people start running with a natural gate?  this video makes running complicated when running is something natural.
