Obviously you can't run without gravity, you won't fall ahead of your foot

Everyone learned to walk and run as a baby by falling into their parent's arms. Then they learned to balance themselves for walking and running by falling and catching themselves. Those baby balancing techniques are what everyone uses because it is still the only way possible to walk, run and sprint. The speed comes from how you balance yourself for each pace.
Scientists and everyone else never saw the foot staying in place while the top of the leg swings from behind the foot to ahead of it. You can't see it in a movie or with individual clips. The movie looks like the leg pushes the upper body forward. Individual clips show each instant in a different spot. You can check out the real movement by leaving one foot in place and stepping from behind it to in front. You can see the leg acts like a vaulting pole. The vertical body rests on top of the leg and gets carried forward.
There is only one way to speed up to your pace. It is by keeping your feet dropping behind your upper body's center (approximately navel high), until you reach your pace. Run four steps forward and backward. Notice that your feet drop behind to go forward, and drop in front to go backward. It is easy to keep dropping your feet behind to run slow. As you saw you already do it unconsciously. To speed up to a very fast pace your sense of balance will hold you back to keep you from falling. You won't fall if you learn how to exchange your feet fast and get up and down fast. That is part of what the Jack Nirenstein Gravity Running Technique teaches.
Once you reach your pace there is only one way to stay at that pace. It is by reaching as little ahead of your upper body's center as you can for that pace. The longer you reach ahead the more you will slow down and stop. Nobody observed that on a treadmill you hit the same length ahead of your upper body's center with each landing. If you drop your feet to the rear you pick up speed and hit the front of the treadmill. If you extend your reach ahead you will lose speed and fall off the back.
This is all observable science but not easy to see unless you know what to look for. When I demonstrate how gravity moves you I almost always get this response. Wow it is so logical, I never thought of it. I tell them nobody else has. There are other people giving you running advice they learned from scientists next to mine on this media. See if they have one bit of running technique to move you one step forward. They don't. You can do all those running techniques while standing or hopping in place. To learn more visit: www.runningtechnique.net Nothing to buy.
You can make sure whether my gravity walking, running and sprinting technique is truly the one and only technique that you can actually use for all speeds of self transport. Check out the largest running publication. Ask the officials of Runners World magazine if they have another technique that will move you forward without using gravity. Im sure you will find that you cant even take one step forward without falling ahead of your foot. Thats what gravity does...makes you fall when standing off balance. Nobody noticed that the body moves from behind the foot a shorter distance than it does ahead of the foot. That is an off balance standing time. The jump lifts you to fall forward instead of down by gravitys force. I have gotten one response from them. It says that the editors have tried running with gravity and couldnt do it. Please let me know what technique they use instead, and if you think it will work at all without using gravity. Thank you. Jack Nirenstein email: runouterlimits@aol.com

  • You can jump but can't take one step forward in a gravity free environment. That proves that only gravity can move you forward, and not your legs. You learned to use gravity as a baby when you fell forward hopping to your parents' arms. You never learned it efficiently enough. You can learn it only with the Jack Nirenstein Gravity Running Technique. No other tells you how to even take one step forward, no less run fast.

  • dear oh dear another crap sprinting video. Your foot has to land underneath your hips on each stride, not behind it. When the foot lands underneath the hips you can push forward and upwards most efficiently (yes you have to push upwards to fight gravity so you don't run into the ground like this old retard does) your foot will also spend less time on the ground

  • vote up if u think dis guy speakzz like stephen hawking...hihi

  • I've worked on this method and it makes a great difference to my running. Takes time to understand what Jack is talking about but it really is simple and very effective. Some similarities to Pose in that there is no push off with the trailing foot, just a pull through with your leading leg and a much softer landing. Keep up the good work Jack!

  • just what the FUCK is the technique you're talking about ? For fucks sake I watched 3 of your videos and went to that site, and I STILL have NO CLUE what the hell you're saying here.

    Can't you just put 2 videos side by side, 1 with a normal runner and 1 with your super special technique ? fucking 10 second video needed, not a goddamn Encyclopedia.

    Jeez

  • this is the problem... some kids could really use coaching help

    and then they get coaches like this guy

    super

  • uuuhh DUUUUUHHHH idiots i swear

  • absolutely the most pointless shit i have ever seen on here

  • fysical truth at its best!

  • Gravity is the key to movement.
