Everyone improves running the same way

Pick up speed and hold the speed reached is the obvious science for the first two stages of every run, speedup stage and steady stage. Now there is a secret gravity science to immediately improve running performance that nobody else knew existed. It is not the impossible Pose or Chi copycat gravity methods of slanting the body forward. A forward slanted body is not the lean for running. You can slant the body back and break sprint records as Michael Johnson did. Slant the body forward and you can find the body's center of weight is the point that is on the vertical line of gravity over the feet. Slant the body backward and you will find that center point is at the same point of the body over the feet as when you slant the body forward. Now you can see that the slant of the full body does not move you forward or backward. Records have been broken with forward slanted bodies and backward slanted bodies as well. The slant of the body's center is the way anyone can run at all. The degree of the slant of the body's center is what gives you changes in speed pick up and another slant to hold the speed reached for a steady pace.
Again everyone runs the same way. You can see when the authors of Pose and Chi methods run with another runner they are both running the same way as everyone else. Neither one is running with the Pose or Chi method, because it is impossible to do. They may have different slants of the full body but they have the same slant of the body's center. The top of the leg rotates around the foot on every stride so you cannot stay still to raise and lower the foot.
Other running techniques branded as sciences are equally insufferably idiotic. Lengthening or shortening a stride can be done running slow, so it does not affect your speed. Pushing harder into the ground also pushes the hip up too high. Air time is slowdown time. Pushing back at the ground flexes the leg, but the leg extends to toss you up. That technique is impossible to do. Training hard can be done with technique that will not speed you up. That is why most people do not improve speed with training methods.
There are differences in styles that make it harder or easier to run. One runner may be jumping higher than another, slant their body differently, turn their shoulders more, land on different parts of the foot, deep knee bend or straight leg landing. The slant of the body's center would have to be adjusted to maintain the same pace as their running partner. The way that a person runs is a science with a few or many imperfections. It is all learned by trial and error with unconscious automatic controls learned.
The way to run and win that everyone uses is from the book: Nirenstein's First Law of Running. You can get more information on running technique at: www.NirensteinsFirstLawOfRunning.info

Hi Myhke3, In a slow run a medium stride length is more comfortable than a very short stride. In a sprint the shortest stride you can do will allow you to pick up speed faster. At full speed in a sprint your hardest effort to keep the foot from flipping back and high is not enough to keep the foot down. You need to keep the toe up to avoid tripping. Reach down and touch the heel lightly and let the toe fall down for a flat landing. Land on toes in a sprint. Nirenstein's First Law of Running.

That question is best answered by your doctor who can examine the injury. Many runners including myself have taken chances in continuing to exercise lightly and found the circulation helped the injury moderate. Others have made it worse. I am not qualified to answer that question for you. I have injured my calf and hams which I saw was due to bad posture of slanting the body forward.

R u just saying to shorten your stride.... and in Your Opinion sir: How should the foot land? On the ball of the foot or heels first? Thank you for your insight on the previous question.

For a high Calf injury..is it best to to do No activity until it heals or to do active recovery...ice heat and maybe bike with seat lowered? I have time but want to heal up ASAP.
