thanks for the help. an alumni of my school told me that i'm a great runner but i need to bring my pelvis forward. also, i need help with my "bounce" habit. My coach and everyone on my cross country team says that i "bounce" when i run. They say that i could be the 2nd or 3rd top runner on the team if it wasn't for my "bounce". I got everything right (and i'm trying to correct my pelvis issue), i just gotta stop bouncing.
Your psoas is short. Go see a rolfer/ structural integrator & learn why you run the way you run. Bringing your pelvis forward will make you overstride & heel strike causing braking. So, NO, don't listen to that alumni. They are judging based on what they see, not what they know. Your butt sticks out because your iliopsoas is short. You're bouncing because you're necessarily toeing off beneath you not behind you because of your anterior pelvic tilt. Toeing off dissipates energy vertically.
Thank you so much for the help. This is exactly what I needed and I appreciate the professional manner in which this was demonstrated. Hope to find more like this.
it may make u look like an imbecile but what REALLY counts that it helps u get better. BEING the better runner is wayyy better than LOOKING LIKE the better runner.
Interesting. You're onto something. Shoulders elevate/ protract to counterbalance swayback posture of upper thorax. Collapsed chest/ rounded spine + elevated/ protracted shoulders causes internal shoulder rotation & locking rhomboids long. Waiter drill emphasizes shoulder blade retraction/ external rotation. Leaning forward eliminates lower portion of swayback. Drills simulate good posture but w/. short psoas :-/. Short psoas causes swayback. Stretch to lengthen psoas, free torso, etc.
