Running on ice clearly demonstrates POSE running. Landing has to be perfect with each foots landing. We cannot stress enough the importance of landing on the BOF (balls of the feet) to run properly. When you land on time, you pull on time, and the cycle repeats. One improper landing can dwindle your technique and lead to common injuries like shin splints. Thus we would like to show Running on Ice Part II with the focus of slower playback to show the landing on the BOF under the GCM. If you have any questions/comments please post them!

  • i tried ball landing run for 15' and i experienced calves pain, so i had to stop running for 10 days

  • @danio2401 beginners tend to run on toes thinking it's same as BOF. Keep in mind - correct ball of foot landing includes landing with bent knee, landing under your body and allowing the heel to "kiss" the ground while keeping your bodyweight over your BOF.

  • sore calves are a sign of an adaptation period that normally lasts 1-3 weeks. However, you can help yourself by jumping rope, this exercise is really good for your feet and legs and your body in general and will help your transition to better running. Remember, balls of your feet are not your toes.

  • @danio2401 Its because now your calves are absorbing the chock that previously went straight up your knees, hip and back. Try running shorter distances more often, and like danio said, make sure you land on the ball of the foot and not on your toes.

  • no, but its the last thing to touch the ground. this dissolves all the impact from running into your calves and keeps everything above the knees safe.

  • Are sore calves normal when a runner is new to the pose technique, or are they a sign that the technique is being done incorrectly?

  • excessive impact to the ground with the heel will cause your running mechanics to form a collapsing motion

  • So pretty much your heels never come in contact with the ground?
