Best video I’ve seen on improving running form lots of easily actionable advice and non of those vague abstract ideas that are difficult to actually apply!

[@weuek]

You haven't seen much

[@np2679]

I like the running gear everyone was wearing! Professional

[@andersmalmborg]

Thanks for very good and simple tips and no junk talk!

[@rileymartin22]

Super helpful info, thank you!

[@andrewopenside3224]

What is gong on in here? Makes a statement and then backs it up with a peer reviewed article from a respected article? Inconceivable! Liked and Sub'd!

[@dmitryb9708]

as for issue No 4, if i look at the horizon as you said, my head starts leaning back and my neck gets strained heavily. that's why i feel a lot more comfortable if i look down in front me (at 45 degrees) so my neck remained relaxed

[@nkandumaambo6779]

No wander I am having a swollen foot I almost gave up thinking as though I am not doing anything. Thank you

[@LexxysLifeDownUnder-kr8sb]

Why was I always told to lift my knees high when running? I feel like it’s a guaranteed way to land out front and put the brakes on??

[@NoName-o6t2i]

Finally! I thought i was the only one in this world to also notice the same exact thing!

[@LexxysLifeDownUnder-kr8sb]

@@NoName-o6t2i right?? Watching this makes so much sense but i know I’ve been running before and trying to pay attention to my form and ending up running like a special needs ostrich as a result because all I heard s as a kid was ‘lift your knees’.

[@Grzybek007]

your ankle must go afterwards, only slightly lift it.

[@jdalend]

So no zone 3......huh. Good to know... THANK YOU!

[@kasperkarup8640]

I just don’t find all of these very practical - or maybe it’s just me who’ll need a lot of convincing to go on a thread mill… or do those funky exercises to chance my running style. Also, didn’t you just say not to force a running style? Also in the previous video is says to let the heel show to the sky - just found it not so coherent, but could be just me 😀

heya! thaanks!! ❤️

Nice

[@musclelessfitness2045]

I know you have good intentions with this video. I agree with a lot of things, but here are a few things I disagree with : - Cadence: When it's an easy/recovery day, it's fine to go down to 160-165 steps per min, as long as your steps are quick and you don't stress your quads (or other muscles) - Butt kicks standing: It is not natural to force a butt-kick while standing and to base your running off of it. You will heavily tire your hamstrings which leads to your problem #3 - Foot landing: It should be natural, not forced, which means you should land flat (mid foot strike) in order to fully support your body. If you land on your toes or forefoot, you will stress and injure your metatarsal bones.

[@Grzybek007]

Maybe feet should land flat when you have 5cm under your heel. I run with 0 drop, and it is good for me to land on toes, and my heel touch ground aferwards. in this 2 cases feet is in the same position in first contact with ground, but for me the suspension works over a longer distance, because in shoes with foam the heel does not go down to 2 mm above the ground in the last phase. 1,5 year without any injury

[@kasperkarup8640]

Yes - I was missing that aspect also. Not everyone runs with standard shoes with 5 cm foam under the heel

[@emillsommer-kt4mb]

wrong information. heal striking is not natural. try going for a run without shoes and land on your heal. good luck.
