Running is a pulling activity, not pushing!

It is much easier to pull your foot up than to push the ground down! Remember that when you run, it's all about pulling up, not pushing down.
Watch Nicolas Remires and learn.

This is brilliant! I only realised it - the pulling - after I recently injured my calf. Flicking my feet - pulling - actually relieves the pain for a short period of time while flicking up.

Running is a combination of many movements - including pushing and pulling (and many more).

[@zerog4261]

It's a very simple point but one which is overlooked. I've had tendon problems in my knees and that's where it comes from. Not pulling through the stride and relying on pushing forward only.

[@Intruderzz]

Excellent description of proper running ❤

[@DarkMountain4]

The heel coming up behind you is a reflexive action, not an active action. Don't purposely focus on pulling your heel up.

[@yaesmucho]

Pulling was the way to go.... if I could know if im doing okay, I will record myself running. short , simple and a great reminder.

[@geraldmorris7803]

Running is jumping on each foot alternately while falling forward.

I tried incorporating something similar to this when I learned the "Pose Method" technique. While I did find it comfortable and efficient it did aggravate my hamstring.

[@SprintTri57]

I just got through watching a bunch of videos from “learntorun” saying running is not a pulling but pushing activity. He said he taught the pose method for a while until he realized how wrong he was because of injuries people were getting. I’m not saying your wrong, but he is very convincing

Great video!

[@runforlife369]

Thank you sir

[@user-yb1xq3xd4i]

is it same while running uphill

[@cannibalmanimal2336]

No, the other can just be released & allowed to drop

[@faizarulrahman1167]

🤔 the other leg?

[@davidross8709]

Just run 😂

[@imdoc7872]

I disagree. Watch videos by Richard Diaz for correct running form.

[@munishyadav456]

Try this technique on a cement road and then make this video again.

[@JoseFernandez-sl2ek]

No it's not

Lmao so many random 2:50marathoners giving bullshit advice on KZbin😂😂😂😂

Actually you are confusing what help turn over rate with locamotion

[@keithedwards9498]

Pulling is running with less effort. Try pushing a wagon down the road, it is a lot harder. A front wheel drive car will move in the snow a rear wheel car just spins. If you are pushing you are always behind your next step and you are dragging yourself down the road or track. You are literally stepping over yourself.

[@siitan83]

well this is not true... every great runner is a pusher.. .more so "a jumper" see how much time they (50 kg Kipchoge, kiptum, Cheptegei etc) spend in the air, and how long their steps are..

[@DMGC529]

BS. If one leg is pulling the other one has to be pushing.

[@EricCartmanFTW]

yup the back/supporting leg is pushing off the ground and the front leg is pulling the knee forward, being conscious about it while running always hurts more than it helps

[@lowzyyy]

this is the worst explaining i have ever seen. Running is literally the opposite of that

[@abesakkaki3392]

funny accent....

[@macrocosmica6805]

I disagree. You emphasise pulling as a remedy of pushing down. Running is about pushing forward.

[@robm321]

Quads fatigue more easily "push". Glutes and Hamstrings will take you farther, "pull". He is right, IMHO, you are wrong.

i do not agree, you should not have to actively think about running to run it should be a natural motion

[@ppmppm7010]

Ix it natural to run 20ks not for most people I don't think
