Pawback motion in running. Yes or no? (Read description as well)

that is bullshit. energy wasting and slow!

Pure junk. Research has past this point a long time ago. Force application to the ground to offset reaction force ends half-way through the stance phase.

See if you can find any image that shows push-off exists...

Your videos are so great in understanding how effortless running can be. Do you have any step instruction videos for this method? Thank You !!!

@runnerugrich Well that is in fact a nice idea for a coming up vid. BTW; Always good to know the vids are appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you for the clarification, I was understanding it but then I started second guessing myself. I hope you continue putting out videos, yours are some of the best!!

I don't understand the purpose?

In my interpretation of pose, I didn't think the calves were activated for propulsion...or landing.

@bcolovas Hi,

No please don't think this drill as a pose drill. It's just an example of how we NOT drill and do when running pose. Did you read the info in the info block? It explains a little more about what's going on. In pose (as you said) we don't conciously activate calves or use them for push off action. It's all reactive, it doesn't need our concern. Yes? Hope it makes things more clear to you.

Happy running ;-).
