[@kenmare16]

Great video James. Illustrates concisely how to run both fast and economically by applying superior running technique, in particular running with the whole body.

[@goodyeoman4534]

With these amazing runners, it looks at first glance like they are "over-striding", but ofc they aren't - their leg lands in just the right place in relation to the hip. For me, the tricky thing is finding the sweet spot between cadence, knee lift and hip extension, especially when these factors alter depending on your pace.

[@kenmare16]

Pretty much all elite 800M and 1500M runners look like they are over-striding. But they aren't because at the fast pace they run at they are over their centre of body mass by mid stride, when the weight comes on after a midfoot touchdown. Bit different to your average weekend plodders at the pace we run? ;-)

[@jonplumb5516]

Thank you James. Great analysis of superb running form. I love how he naturally pronates , so it always annoys me when running shops sell supportive shoes to stop pronation as if its a bad thing. JFI, I run barefoot or with minimilist shoes.

[@mathieunorry]

Superb analysis as ever James

[@JamesDunne]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@st14]

Great material!

[@73jayzee]

The most interesting thing to me is that there is internal rotation of the feet during his back swing . Would like to hear you talk about this

[@ricf9592]

I've a picture of an Olympic 5000m doing just this, when running a hill session. Pictured from behind it seemed odd to me, not now.

[@peterbacklund44]

Thanks ❤

[@tazeev]

Great video, thank you.

[@JamesDunne]

Thank you! I appreciate the support 🙂 Who else would you like to see a running form breakdown of?

[@itz_shadow_albus4418]

David Rudisha ​@@JamesDunne

[@ricf9592]

I have the mobility, the style, the leg speed, even a VO2 Max in the 70's but there's a reason I don't run at 5 minute mile pace. It's that at 64 years of age, even though I have not one ache or pain anywhere, my structures lack the elastic bounce of forty years ago. The modern carbon soled shoes help a lot. But cannot replace the elastic return of muscles and tendons.

[@st14]

I have a question. When running, should he perceive himself as being "shorter" than he is when standing? His eye-level seems to be lower when he runs than when he stands, correct? At landing, his leg is bent and when his body moves over the planted leg, the leg does not straighten. So that's lower than standing on straight legs. His leg only straightens at toe-off, but at that point the body is ahead of the leg already, right? Plus, he maintains a fwd lean. Adding these two together, he should be "shorter" when running by about 2 to 3 inches maybe? When he is airborne, his body seems to hardly be bobbing up at all, but maybe he does re-gain an inch or two in the flight phase? But on average, his eye level should be a bit lower relative to his standing position. Does this sound correct?

[@dionisiominano7485]

his foot landing on front view looks similar to kipchoge

[@AG_UofT]

Hey James. Cool analysis but how can we apply this info into our own running?

[@jseales86]

Yes. How does this translate to say, ultra running in the mountains?

[@fitnessbhabesh7159]

Gd information ❤💯👌👌👌

[@JamesDunne]

Thank you!

[@itz_shadow_albus4418]

​@@JamesDunne David Rudisha

[@MrJohnno89]

He has a pretry decent hip drop

[@PetrShred]

Am I seeing ipsialateral hip drop? Ie. weak gluteus medius immediately post toe off with follow-on drop of [especially his] right pelvis by mid stride?

[@brittanybee5257]

After watching so many videos I finally found one that point, gets to the d@mn

[@cristian-adrianfrasineanu9855]

12:16 - Is the upper body movement similar to Kiptum's torso coiling?

[@JamesDunne]

Yeah absolutely. Very similar!

[@itz_shadow_albus4418]

​@@JamesDunne pls make a video on how to increase hip extension and running power

[@itz_shadow_albus4418]

​@@JamesDunneplss

[@itz_shadow_albus4418]

Actually you hv made a video 4 years ago

[@chrism589]

​@@itz_shadow_albus4418can you share link to that? Please.

[@JustRed916]

When I try to lengthen my stride like this, I get exhausted so fast, will I ever be able to run 3+ miles at a sub 12 min pace? It feels impossible

[@konradponiewierski7907]

Kool. Some more techniques to work with.

[@GbawlZ]

How much do you want to bet he doesn't focus on or put any effort into his running form? It's just the way he naturally runs, he's just more used to running faster, so he looks more comfortable doing it. Professional and collegiate athletes look at these types of videos and laugh.

[@NoName-o6t2i]

My friend! And i thought i was the only one who thinks the same exact thing!

[@T1D_Fitness.Health]

Genetics play a huge role in

[@ForzaOwnz]

I would bet a lot of money that at some point in his career he has worked on his technique. I spent a lot of time around sprinters to ultras, and every single one of them stated that they have worked on their technique at some point

[@GbawlZ]

@@T1D_Fitness.Health How about having a parent start you running before the age of 10 and having brothers that your dad raised into Olympians? In that sense, it's genetics -- he was born to a father who instilled the value of hard work into his kids. If you are implying that the most gifted genetic runners just happen to end up in track and field by divine providence, you're a lunatic. By that logic, do you know how many of the world's most genetically gifted runners never got into the sport and never will? This logic takes away from the achievements these athletes make. The reality is 95% of an elite runner's success is from hard work, and you can see this by looking at the parents of EVERY SINGLE OLYMPIC RUNNER. In almost every single instance, one or both of their parents were former collegiate or professional runners -- just as almost every top chess player's parents were high rated chess players. The "genetics" argument is such a lazy copout.

[@CTGJumpMaster]

Genetics and “talent” absolutely help. Frankly, one cannot reach elite levels without it. But as a former elite T&F athlete and current coach, one would be mistaken to think elite T&F athletes simply rely on talent and pay no attention to technical development. At the elite levels, EVERYONE is talented and comes from an extreme end of the genetic pool. Of course, some focus on technical details more than others. But I can promise you that if one neglects technical training, they simply will not be able to realize their potential… Even if they are talented. In fact, the demand is (in some ways) greater… Because they have a higher genetic ceiling and are capable of achieving positions and expressing movements that “normal” people cannot. Technical training for Jacob Ingebrigtsen or Noah Lyles is different from the technical training of a novice. Even if the core principles are the same. The elite athlete doesn’t necessarily have to focus on every aspect of the “sausage making” per se (that is the coach’s job)… But they certainly eat the meal.

[@_chimera_]

Is he covered in spots?! Or those are bruises??? Definitely bruises. I don't see how it's healthy..he is running on or above his hardware limits

[@statixsc3013]

u actually check notifications mid run? also if ur not 10yo you check ur phone 10-20 times a day.
