Runningtechnique training I oct 2009

Running technique training using Pose method;
Nowadays, people often read about running and the benefits of a landing on the forefoot instead of a landing on the heel. Also they might have heard something about poserunning and a landing on the ball of the foot (BOF). Inspired by this "new" insights they switch their runningstyle from heel to the front part of the foot.
Now please take caution, as this might not work out well for you and may lead to injury (achillis, calves, ITB). A landing on (better over) BOF is the OUTCOME of a landing close under the body, nothing more or less. The heel may touch the ground, but with higher speed or/and quick unweighting it won't. For the majority of runners the proper landing and unweighting comes with improvement of SKILLS. If not paying attention to that, don't be surprised to end up with an achillis injury, calfsoreness, or ITB.
So......... don't just start running with a forced BOF landing (and a cadence of less then 180spm). Instead, truly invest in your running technique by learning the right skills and ...........enjoy the process!!!!

Great video, Jacky! How would you teach someone to lift up their heels behind them without using the EZ Belt?
