Pose running (before and after training)

Allready pretty good form. Errors (best seen in the fast running parts) is the excessive knee drive (use of hipflexors). In the swingphase the knee should come forward due use of muscle- and tendon elasticity of the hipflexors, gravity and coriolus "force". There is no need to activeley drive the knee forward and definitely not upward. Doing so will force a landing ahead of the body. Also it will keep the runner back from falling (leaning) efficiently (as the abdominal muscles will rotate the pelvis backward to stabilise it and create a solid punctum fixum). In the last runns, the knee swings forward in a more relaxed manner, the lean is better, the landing is more under the body and there's also less push off.

You're still heel striking...

@OMGedInStoresNearYou Old habits are hard to get rid of. He's still anticipating for landing instead of allowing the leg (foot) to drop passively. This seems to be the main reason for his delay to weight the BOF first. Nevertheless he showed nice improvements after one session on several aspects. His landing is closer under the body and he's able to transfer is bodyweight over support more efficient. Yes there's room for improvement. There always is. I guess that counts for most of us.

YOU DON'T ENGAGE YOUR BODY MAN.

@AK47like007 In the before part he doesn't, but IMO he does much better at the end of the session.

Note to self; gotta film myself running

About that knee drive... When I'm tired, I just about knee myself in the face. I wonder if its still possible to try and change my form, just a little bit?...

@OMGedInStoresNearYou I've seen some vids of mid-foot runners where the heel comes down first but they still hit the ground mid-foot - It kinda looks like that's what's going on here if you look hard.

@OMGedInStoresNearYou Blind?

I see most of these "natural" style runners contact the ground with the heel first, however, I don't think that they absorb the force of the impact with the heel. Most of the impact seems to be absorbed when the forefoot connects. There's a difference between heel STRIKE and heel CONTACT. Don't let the theory of a technique disrupt the pragmatic use of a technique.

If it aint broke...dont fix it

QUESTION: i read that you need shoes with thin soles and flexible to do pose running.. but how true is that? i imagine any running shoe works?

[HealthyLiving11]

he should just take off his shoes.

[TheLiberalSoup]

@OMGedInStoresNearYou um, no. He's noty heel striking, you just want to find something to correct in someone. He's NOT heel strikiing, he's practically landing on his toenails.

fire two parts at the beginning were fine in terms of lean, could be a tiiiny bit better but genreally ok. the last part in the first minute tho he leaned forward too much through the waist, he could fix up pretty much everything in his upper portions and some in his lower if he had a slight lean through his ankles
