I used to be a big athlete in high school (soccer, kicker for football, and basketball, cross country in middle school). In 2014 I was in a severe single car accident and spent 13 days in a coma. I had to relearn how to walk and everything. I signed up for a 5k in October because I want to learn how to run again. My chiropractic/functional neurologist suggested looking into this chi running technique. Thank you for laying things out so clearly in this video! I will definitely be coming back to this many times as I continue in my journey.

[@capitalb5889]

How did it go?

[@eklim2034]

yes these advices are easier for me to remember during running: (1) treat ground like eggshell don't break it (2) body straight slightly lean forward, chest up head up look far ahead like chest getting hanged 45 degree by crane ahead (3) handa relaxed like holding potatochips (4) use back leg and heel to propel ahead instead of front leg trying to reach furthest possible thanks

My coach taught me more about the Arms. He taught, and it works amazingly well, that the motion is more about pulling back on the elbow to throw the body forward. Also that while the hands do not cross your body, you bring them from the chest height to approx hips. He said that when you watch pro marathoners from the back, you can not see their hands...

Oh man, I'm so guilty of the heel strike.

[@mujin70]

It's not a big deal. Keep in mind that Sage is not a sports medicine person and he's just parroting what is the latest trend. I will say one of the fastest guys I know has a slow ass cadence and does fine. Just run the way you feel most comfortable. If you keep getting injured and have some sort of weirdness to your stride, then go get a stride analysis by real experts who won't pigeon hole you with a one size fits all approach.

[@AlphaDad]

me too...my shins are reminding me

[@okioki1131]

The heelstrike is a HUGE deal. It is proven, not a "trend." There have been some serious studies on this issue.

[@lazava5150]

Just a case of someone not knowing what their talking about. Heel strike is a no-no.

[@rtcartiecie2118]

I think you´ll find evidence for both points of view/both ways of running. This, for example, is evidence backing up heel strike; 1. Kleindienst F, Campe S, Graf E, et al. Dif­ferences between fore- and rearfoot strike running patterns based on kinetics and kine­matics. XXV ISBS Symposium 2007, Ouro Preto, Brazil. 2. Kleindienst, F.I. (2003). Gradierung funktioneller Sportschuhparameter am Laufschuh. Shaker. Aachen, 234-235. 3. Walther, M. (2005). Vorfußlaufen schützt nicht vor Überlastungsproblemen. Orthopädieschuhtechnik, 6, 34. ... and I'm guessing you'll find alot of evidence backing up mid/front foot landing too. As a physical therapist, my reasoning would be that if you do have a heel strike whilst running, the weight gets transfered over your ankle joint in a way that I would view as 'less intensive' compared to a front/mid foot landing. Then again, slight anatomic variations among people are something to keep in mind. If you have proper body awareness, you can actually feel what's less straining for your joints. Pain is a useful sign of our bodies, that some people are willing to neglect because someone else told them to run in a certain way.

Just what I needed. Years ago, bad form set me into a state of perpetual lower leg injury. Achilles, calf problems. Slowly - very slowly - I'm getting back into running and desperately trying to not f things up. Great work!

a few weeks ago i had bad hip pain from running terribly. the following two changes stopped my hip pain. firstly, i changed from heel striking to mid/forefoot striking by running barefoot/with barefoot style shoes with no heel drop. secondly, i increased my cadence to 180 by using a metronome as i ran. if you have skeletal pain from running i HIGHLY recommend making these changes. although, expect more muscle ache in the lower body.

[@Insolation1]

After 60 years of running here's some advice; One: run with zero drop shoes, no heel height (but not barefoot shoes) make sure you have cushioning. Two: don't run any further than 6 miles 3 times a week. Three: don't time yourself. Four: don’t do marathons. Five: the important one don’t join a running club; the reason, you’ll end up ignoring 2, 3 and 4. If that happens you’ll end up like me and 90% of other club runners, requiring new knees because your cartilage will be gone. Another bit of advice just ignore the above and get a bike.

I was not prepared for the combination of "thrusting your pelvis and your hips forward" and deepest penetration"" 😂 but I also didn't expect to hear Twenty One Pilots! ||-//

I think the best video on running posture! Simple and accurate! Thanks!

What about best breathing technique while running?

[@keithkruse2595]

Amir Zarif Breathe from the belly. Pull air deeper into lower sections of lungs.

[@AmirZarif47]

@@keithkruse2595 how often is the breathe in? every alternate step? Mouth open or close?

[@keithkruse2595]

Amir Zarif depends on how fast the feet are moving. Try inhaling in for 4 steps and exhaling in 3. Breathe in through nose and mouth and keep your jaw relaxed. As you run faster and farther, your body may end up needing to breathe for 3 count inhale and 2 count exhale. As the miles pile on, keep the jaw and wrists relaxed. Keep pulling in air from the belly.

Thank you for the video. Looking at some of the elite endurance runners, it seems like most of them not only keep their hands much higher, as you mentioned, but also swing their arms across their center line, up towards their chest.

Crash course for runners: Grab your eggs & potato chips and *RUN* as in 'the moment of deepest penetration'.

Thank you for this video! Took today to do an 'easy' run and focus on my technique after watching this. Smashed my personal best, so thank you!!!
