Running technique check Jurriaan (2010)

Checking technique during an interval session on a hot summer day.
Jur (10) is doing fine. Left leg a little late pulling as he seems like pushing off a bit. Therefore landing a little more ahead of the body over left than over right. I believe he could be more compact with more relaxation. "Doing less is more".
His transfer to minimalistic shoes did well on his landing which shows a more neutral weighting over the ball of the foot than before when it was more supinated. Also, when absorbing the impact from landing, the heel drops to the ground more naturally as these flexible low heeled Puma's allow the heel to drop. This in contrast to his former, "bulky" shoes, that hardly allowed him to land the heel and thus load elastic tissues of the achillis tendon and the plantar fascia in a proper way. Jur still shows a kind off "springy" running style (toeing off) which you see more often with youngsters. His shoulders looked a little tense (elevated) at the last sprints.
Last weekend Jur ran a 3.19 on 1K ;-).

@pabanil The angle of lean (and the ability to pull the support leg on time) will determine speed, range of motion of limbs, cadence and stride lenght. Compared to a smaller person, people being tall will need less lean to run the same speed ;-).
