Running - How to Reduce Vertical Oscillation! BL Physio (RIF REV Series)

[@actionforanimals4862]

I've been running for almost 20 years. Jogging, actually. This is the best THE BEST video on running position I've come across in 10 years. All the subtlety and the tweaks and small changes to change your running style from that of a jogger to that of a fast runner are included. I'm sharing this with friends. Thank you so much.

You are completely accurately right in your analyze. The only issue I find by running for a while is just that the heart rate is far greater while running with that nice efficient angle you are promoting. I hope that I will be able to evolve to always run like you suggest..... ;-)

Great video - Just what I was looking for in terms of an explanation of vertical oscillation and how to improve form

[@kcl6641]

Simple and clear. I would take note when running.

[@Pwil5555a]

Thanks - very useful; informative and well presented

[@JonMo94]

Are you running the same speed in both videos? When I jog I feel like the first one because I want to go slow, but i feel that if a go to fast, my lungs will burn up.

[@narucy56]

Nah, this video made a lot of misconception. Right side video guy is way too far tilt forward. Missing optimal pushing round timing window and late heel lift timing also overuse calves/ankle muscle.

This was succinct & to the point ~Best ever! Thank you, RIFREV :)

[@mrbritesideoftheroad]

Thanks, well explained in this video 😊👍

[@daniels1191]

Gracias. Ya lo estoy aplicando y tiene resultados positivos evidentes, mas alcance con el mismo esfuerzo en mi caso.

[@xelionizer]

Thanks for the video. But how do you improve it? I didn't really see any conclusion as to what to do to correct the angle; Do you lean more forward? Do you take shorter steps thereby increasing cadence alone? Do you straighten your knees more? Or do you actually just try to kick back and then the rest follows? I'm confused!

[@kristinabobrova7355]

The same here ..😬I tried last day ,it just felt so unnatural ,as you should lean forward as much as you feel falling ,that’s your oscillation angle should be

[@dingding6627]

Super super good!

[@kylahholland4415]

I can't seem to lean from the ankles! I really try to, but when I watch videos of myself running, it just looks like my normal running... either that or I'm leaning from the waist. Also, my hips lengthen and shorten, lengthen and shorten.. and so I pick up my rib cage and chest to try and pick up my hips, but it's to no avail. :-( I am going to be a sophomore in HS this year, and XC starts in August so I really need to get my form down! My stride is extremely long too, and I land with my knees really bent. :-/ So far, your videos are the best at explaining some of the things I have trouble with, but my legs and hips still don't seem to get with the program--- lean!! Any advice is appreciated!

Good to know, thanks!

[@ayfraginal]

Great video! Thanks! :)

[@michaelbell9402]

What is a good vert oscillation measurement amount? My Garmin measures it.

[@bodyleadership]

Usually around 5-10cm but we would prefer closer to 5. Sometimes it is expressed as a ration of VO divided by stride length, in that case aim for under 10%. If you're too high, you are wasting energy going up instead of forward and put more force through knees etc. Often see patella tendon issues (among other things) with that stuff over time.

[@jasonrawlings5650]

Hey Will. Great video, thanks. Do you have a recommended ideal vertical oscillation (obviously 0cm in a perfect world)? I've bought a Garmin FR620 which measures this, so would like to reduce my usual 10cm.

[@xelionizer]

Only Chuck Norris (and maybe John Cleese as well?) can run with 0cm VO! xD

[@stluciestrength]

My problem , now, is if I lean from my ankles I end up on my tippy toes, literally falling down, especially on my right side! Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@sillymesilly]

Tippy toes excellent. Invest in shoes that have zero drop( no heel height). This kind of running will be closer to barefoot running. Will reduce and prevent future injuries.

[@jeffpicken5057]

You don’t want to be on your toes; that’s actually what the video’s author is doing. This will result in vertical energy capture and storage that will be released vertically on push off. Running on your toes will also tax your calves and Achilles. I would also be careful with going to zero drop shoes, as MrDeadlift suggests. This *may* be right for you, but maybe not. It won’t solve your tiptoeing issue and will likely make it worse.
