Yes, what costs the most energy when you run is moving your weight up from the surface of the earth. Therefore, it is almost always good to try to reduce that movement to save energy. At least for recreational runners. But it's not so black and white. Especially if you want to run a little faster and are reasonably fit, you can think differently. Here I give you an example of how one of my clients who just wanted to get faster, not necessarily run longer or reduce strain on the body, was able to become more energy efficient despite moving 43 per cent more up and down when running. I'm not saying everyone should think this way. But I am saying that it's not as simple as saying that a little more up/down movement is automatically a bad thing. Accurate measurements are better than guesses.

"The best money I have ever spent. Great mix of humour, practical technique and theory. It’s brilliant and I have been telling all my friends about it. I’ve knocked 30 secs off my average pace to 4:30 and at 53 I’m absolutely astonished how relaxed I feel running. It’s also really helped my cycling my adapting similar techniques and visualisation. Thanks so much.
