This is just for long distance running, sprinting requires running on the forefoot, kinda confusing to remember different techniques. But really good video, i knew i was doing it right.
Could someone please explain the "flex your ankles" part? Does it mean "don't point your foot too early"? I see there's a slightly flexed ankle while the foot rests, but I'm unsure how it applies to the actual toe-off. It's at 01:35
@Elantry Growing up with skis under my feet, the way I always think of it (while standing still) is to balance your upper body weight over the balls of your feet, but actually feel the weight of your body in the heels. You can practice this standing, with your knees a little bent and your feet at a comfortable, natural distance apart. Your ankles will be angled, creating a forward lean in your lower legs. After you get comfortable, try straightening your legs out. (continued)
... unless you are being propelled forward by your lower body. This will give you a straight posture with forward lean. I hope this post and my previous post are helpful with understanding what is meant in the video.
Talent is what makes some people fast, talent and then hard work. They aren't fast because they spend a lot of time improving their technique. They already have it, in addition to high VO2max, lactate threshold, and drive.
Feet straight ahead? What if you've always abducted your feet when you walk and run? Some of us are flat-footed and along with ankle eversion, we might need that extra flexibility that we don't have in our calf muscles... nor that we can get from stretching. For some of us, foot abduction and ankle eversion is just part of our natural gait. Should some of this technique be modified because... we're not all the same?
Great video, I would your comments on my running technique. I have runners knee or similar and feel a bit awkward when I am running. check my video 'How am I running 1'

@Elantry Im guessing they mean you should not bend your hips while running, u should use your ankles to lean forward.
