@rossthacker10: Changing how I run has led to the biggest improvements in running performance. More efficient. Less wasted energy. Running faster paces at lower effort. Here’s what I changed: 1️⃣ Overstriding In the first clip I’m over striding and heavily heel striking, this was effectively slamming the brakes on with every step and increasing my risk of injury. To fix it, I worked on knee drive and feeling like I was landing under my centre of mass. The cue that worked for me was to feel like my legs were moving in a cycling motion. This improved my foot strike naturally without having to force it. 2️⃣ Posture/body tension In the first clip I’m excessively leaning forward with a very tense upper body, causing me to sway side to side. Keeping tall and relaxing my shoulders, arms and hands eliminated tension and allowed me to transfer power through every stride. Think ”chest tall, shoulders relaxed” 3️⃣ Arm drive My arms used to move across my body, which created unnecessary rotation and wasted energy. Focusing on driving my elbows backwards and matching my arm drive with my stride made it feel a lot smoother and more coordinated. Making the same effort feel a lot easier. Small changes, massive improvement in performance. #Running #runningtips #runningform #marathon
