[@cryan9376]

It is definitely great, but I think they could add some more info around how to get that improvement. For example he says to make sure when you land, that your foot is pulling back, I finally realized how you do that is to over stride and start the pulling motion before your foot hits the ground.

[@BlackyZE]

Excellent video about running technique that I finally found. My modest contribution for easier jumping to each topic :) #1 1:02 Take off and land on the midfoot or the balls of the feet #2 1:42 Run lightly on the feet; don't pound or plod #3 2:20 Land with the foot and knee pointed in the intended running direction #4 2:45 Avoid leg collapse, which is the sinking of the hips and knees as the feet stike th ground #5 3:39 Actively paw the ground upon landing and push off quickly with each step #6 3:58 Straighten the ankle, knee, and hip joints upon takeoff #7 4:34 Lift the foot toward the butt quickly after pushing off the ground #8 5:19 Drive the knee forward and upward as the leg swings forward #9 6:08 Pull the toes toward the shin as the leg swings forward and prepares to land #10 6:51 Choose a stride lenght that feels natural and confortable; ideally, the feet should land beneath the hips or as close to it as possible

Absolutely informative, well illustrated and simple. As a beginner I feel this is holy grail for running (again im a beginner but the form looks correct to the eye)

[@ThePupil]

I always have the feeling that with these form videos, the runner has quite a substantial pace. Would be great to see a good running form for a slow jog. (a pace most beginning runners will go by)

[@westlee1626]

ThePupil dude running at like 5:00 pace I swear lol

[@adam-cj1jf]

Exactly, I think this running style can't be performed when running slowly, such video would be more useful as a lot of people can't reach such a speed for long distance run

[@RigMaster_]

I'm no expert. Maybe it's best to run at whatever pace you can maintain good technique and just increase your endurance over time? Like the video says, running this way is definitely the best to prevent the risk of injury.

[@ADE1000SON]

I have seen many videos about this subject and this one is the best so far!!

[@tunghq]

Clear and useful instruction. Thank you

[@lamrof]

I agree on all, exceptionally on point. I have reservation on #5, #6, and #7 #5 - Moving the feet back as they land and pushing after landing is a wrong advice for sprinters. That may work for normal walking. Sprinters should drive their foot down with much force under their CM with flexed ankle while staying tall. Much of the force should come from the glutes and hamstrings starting from a high foot point (Knee high point). After the forceful foot and ground contact good sprinters should work to lift the foot back up (using reflexes). Forward propellent force is achieved this way, not by clawing on the ground and then pushing the ground using the frontal thigh muscles. #6 For the same reason is a wrong advice for sprinters. All downward forceful action should build while the foot is in the air and should end quickly after foot contact and be replaced by a lifting and throwing the knee forward reflexive action. #7 - bringing the foot (heel) to butt. This is wrong because it advices spriters to fold their Knee joint first and then their hip joint. Instead sprinters should flex their knee and hip joint together, so the advice should be heel to hamstring.

[@mineharutakahara4712]

omg, this is the best instructional video about running form I've ever watched, EVER!! There are lots of information floating around with some of them contradicting each other, so, I've been experimenting each and decide what to take and what not in the past few years. How come I haven't come across this one until now? But very glad to find this now!

As a track runner, I find these tips very useful to people who don’t have much experience or want to begin running. Good video, Keep up the good work.

[@PC-uz6cs]

Having watched this video I went for a run and thought about some of the advice. My thoughts are that when you run, you naturally do a lot of this stuff subconsciously, but I can see that if you were trying to teach someone who had a peculiar gait or posture and wanted to correct it, that it is useful to break the technique down.

[@kylahholland4415]

Woah- at 2:50 you mentioned how younger runners might sink and bend their knees too much- I have been looking online for 2 years about this. (I'm 16 now..) and my dad & I have never seen anything that further explains this flaw!! We've known this is a problem with my stride, but everything we've read says "make sure you bend your knee!.. blahblahblah" but if you look at good runners, they do not have tons of knee bend, they're pretty straight! This is awesome. We finally found something that shows how I run. I hope I can fix it, we've tried the past 2 years to no avail. (It's gotten better as I got older, but I still look like I lunge when I run.) Thank you for this video, I wish more people would talk about too much bend and sinking in the knees... but one thing: My problem is that I DO have strong quads (not so much hamstrings though..) but my quads are huge and defined compared to runners who don't run like me. So what's up with that?! Thanks!

[@JimmyTheProstitute]

Kylah Holland You probably have weak hips and glutes so your quads take over and your hamstrings are stretched and your hips are tight.

[@errolpaul8043]

9.98 sec (unofficial) on your best day looks good on paper, but if you can't perform like that at the right time when officials are timing it... you need a lot of things to happen right - no injuries/set backs due to illness/ accidents etc, peaking at right time, right mindset, psychologically prepared, finance for the right equipment & nutrition. Might have been a fluke though, was halfway through plyometric speed & acceleration drills and decided to give it a shot cause was feeling pumped - body and mind were preparing for 100% so fight flight system must have kicked in.
