Many thanks for your posts. These have really helped me learn to run again. Question: I feel a whole new dynamic when I run, although it is taking time for my muscles to adapt. Is it preferable to run barefoot or with a thin soled shoe with this natural form of running?

@bubbazmfp a little of both

why does he say not to use hip flexors and quads? as an experienced runner i dont understand that part.

[njsportsmed]

@arkansaw001 learn change of support drill from PoseTech, then learn proper butt kicks (heel to buttock with hamstring) and proper high knees (hip flexor), and lastly bounding drills only for advanced (quads upon landing); you bike with quads, your engine for running are your 'hips' hamstring and hip flexors and then rotators and adductors for stability

All the fastest marathon runners and sprinters run in shoes. I'm Bill O'Reilly and you can't explain that.

@arkansaw001: from a layman's point of view, it might be easier to understand that the quads are muscles that are pushing the thighs up when the knees/calves are in front of the body (think squats) and the posture in the video requires the body to be inline with the knees. Therefore one needs the pulling action, from the hamstrings, pulling the calves/lower legs up to the gleuteal muscles. It's mainly stated to assist with proper form.

Running Nike free, LOL you are a wizard with words! My old trainers made my knees hurt. For a period I ditched them, switching to a flat converse knock-off from the supermarket, and my knees didn't hurt anymore... Any thoughts on this? Are flat fashion trainers actually better for running than traditional heel-padded shoes?
