Fighting gravity while running (Running technique/Pose method)

Miniclinic pose in which we practiced the elements of Pose, "Fall " and Pull via drills followed by short runs (20-30m).
The video showed the running before and after the session. In the before footage it becomes clear that X is fighting gravity in multiple ways; Landing ahead of the body (thus braking forward movement), spending too long on support, excessive push-off action, anticipating for landing by extending the lower leg in front and dorsalflexing the foot.
Of course it's an illusion to think that all problems can be fixed in one session. It takes a lot of time, patience and dedication to get rid of old bad habits and feel comfortable with new learned movement patterns.
X. was suffering from pretty severe achillis injuries for several years (left more than right). When starting the session, the achillis was painfull when running old style. During the 90 min. session we did several drills to minimize tension in the lowerlegs and get rid of an over active achillis- and calf complex. She was able to train (drills combined with short runs) without pain.
The shoe she's wearing at the moment is not suitable for a forefoot running style. When running forefoot with high heeled shoes, the achillis (and structures surrounding it) might get injured due to pressure of the contrefort (back) of the shoe when taking support. Another negative aspect of the high heeled shoe, is that it prevents the natural lowering of the foot (heel) when absorbing the shock from impact. This will work negative on the loading of elastic tissues (achillis, plantar fascia e.o) under the force of gravity when taking support.

you were heel landing which is a recipe for knee injury later on. Google and/or look up barefoot running style and adapt that.
