This is a very interesting analysis James. Here we have a top, elite athlete whose form is not perfect. She touches a little early on her heel, and her hips drop a tad (perhaps its late in this race?). But Shalane's lovely hip extension, knee drive, strong upper body and core overcome all other issues. Her knee drive is so powerful, look how high her heels get when she is bringing her back leg through! I can't imagine what kind of training she has invested to be able to sustain that kind of strength for 26.2 miles. Nevertheless, she is definitely someone with gorgeous aspects to her running form that we amateurs should strive to copy. Thanks for the cue suggestions near the end for maintaining the flexed knee as the lead leg prepares to land!

She runs like a Middle Distance runner...so a lot more muscles are engaged. Superior power and strength overcomes some inefficiency. But generally, what gives her the edge is powerful knee drive lever.

James - many thanks for this analysis (and the others so far!). I have just been out for a run with a running pal with the camera (he has a gimble for super smooth recording). We used Hudle Technique to slow it down ... we didn't need to worry about drawing lines to see where the improvement can come from! Frustratingly for both of us we know we have had better technique in the past. Your videos help us see where we can get improvements. Just need to work on the drills to get the improvements. We are both longer distance runners (Ironman, Ultra, etc) so small improvements can have a big impact - not just in speed but in efficiency and fatigue.

Interesting analysis. It would be useful to know what footwear she wore in her early years of running that might have contributed to the heelstriking. I still am sold on the idea that running is simply hopping whilst moving forward on alternating legs, and no way would I advise hopping and landing on my heel

James, thank you very much for your work! You are being very helpful! Could you please make a running technique analysis of a heavier runner? Not all of us runners are blessed with a perfect physique, sometimes we are a little bit bigger than a distance runner is supposed to be. There must be a difference from those elite running machines you are observing. Thanks in advance.

Have you seen this video I made a while ago, Guinea Pig?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4TZk4ZmiJmlgNk The runner 'James' in the video is a heavier-set guy (or at least was at the time of filming) and is a keen cyclist... rather than being a great runner - check out the size of his quads! Also, you may be interested to know that I'm a 6'6" 250+lbs runner, so absolutely know the reality of not being blessed with a "runner's body" :) I talked about this in some depth on the Strength Running Podcast with Jason Fitzgerald earlier this month.

Perhaps hip drop is a way of propelling more power into the stride. The ITB is used to store and release power rather than stabilise. It can become overloaded with lack of pelvis balance/control but ultimately hip drop may be another tool of propulsion same as loading the ant oblique sling. See this article; news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2015/08/understanding-the-it-band/

James thank you and agree on all principles shared here! Specifically, of course agree that a heel strike, in the position you observe (ankle under knee) would not be inefficient. Respectfully; however, it appears to me that, in the frames where you ID a heel strike, Shalane may still be airborne, so not actually heel striking. A potential challenge here could be that she is entering a tunnel / overpass area with a little less light. Is it possible then that this affects perception of exactly when she strikes?
@heikkisanelma66257 жыл бұрын
James there is no one optimal form nor technique for everyone. For instance there is natural preferance which will work better for a person for the placement of head or the direction (height) of the gaze/eyes and this preference helps one to engage her/his naturally stronger (more motoneuro efficient) muscles. But great videos, seen a few now and enjoying your insights on the top individuals technique and form :) I would encourage every coach and athlete to use their most natural form as it most likely will reduce the risk of overuse injuries or worse..

@eddyvideostar7 жыл бұрын
James: The lower leg and attire is nice and interesting. The mostly white running shoes and the new white long socks look good with this outfit. Question: Why do many female runners wear black socks (long or ankle length) and black shoes even in the dark while running in the streets -- in the 90 degree weather? Why don't they wear thick white ankle socks folded about 4 inches of show height in order to give them more visibility and a clean feminine look?

@eddyvideostar7 жыл бұрын
Devan Smith: I understand, but not every female runner is in the elite category. I see many ordinary, fair, good to very good runners in the parks during their regular fitness running. They run in the dark and in 90 degree heat with black socks which takes away from their visibility and produces olfactory perception. After this, especially a female, who wouldn't want to be perceived as having a clean femine look -- on all occasions, where they are running on dry pavement or concrete? Ironically, many are running in order to improve their physical asthetics, for some, to hopefully grab some attention. The above makes sense, don't you think?
@1violalass7 жыл бұрын
Plenty of women run to be healthier and/or for enjoyment, not in order to produce aesthetics that are pleasing to you. Maybe they run with black socks because that is what they have or that is what makes them comfortable. Why assume that they want to look pleasing? That is not their primary purpose.
@eddyvideostar7 жыл бұрын
1violalass: According to your moniker, I guess that you are a female studying the viola. If so, very good. I like the cello. As per my previous comments, a nice pair of thick bright, white ankle sock in the dim light will give more visibility to the drivers also assisting in producing a clean cut image, with light colored running shoes. This is not so difficult and would probably be lighter and comfortable in hot weather, as in basic science indicates that black colors tend to keep the heat in. A woman would not want this to her feet in 90-degree weather, as the perceived -- and real olfactory perceptions pervade. When a woman wears black socks, and ugly black sneakers/running shoes, I mentally relate this to a dude (bloke/man) and this is somewhat uninspiring for me and other males. On social media: there are many women who want to appeal to the opposite gender, not to get picked up, but for the pride and the narcissistic aspect, to utilize this as a gauge to how they are shaping up. They vigorously incorporate a nutitional regimen and exercise program in order to accomplish this, along with notating their progress. Why bother to look bumish for the sake of it when a couple of quid could buy a different image. A nice bright pair of leg warmer socks or thick ribbed ones would make all of the difference.

Generally speaking yes there is an ideal running form. However some runners (both amateurs and professionals) are not able to adjust to it no matter how hard they try because each body is different. For example I'm a hill strike runner with problems on my legs which do not allow me to adjust to foot strike no matter how hard I try.

My first thought looking at the two people he showed and looking at him and wondering what "advice" he's going to give, is that if I was built so fucking spindly as these runners - like a really light weight racing road bike - is that it would be very easy to run. Second, no matter what technique I had, it could not possibly overcome this weight issue. Maybe he mentions this, but I think this advice has to be put in context. I can't see the narrator's body, but his face makes me think he's not near as lean.
@alanwilkinson51797 жыл бұрын
Good stuff, thanks James. Saw another analysis of Shalane’s incredible running at kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3fbgZ-LgNeNhrM (starts 5:30). At mile 24 of Boston marathon when she is running at 3:30 min/km her stride is 95% of her height (5’2” stride vs 5’5”). Compare with my stride at 65% of my height when I am flat-out at 4 min/km (boohoo). Hence importance of hip extension and optimising the spring in your gait, as you explain.

She weighs like under 100 lbs on an already petite frame. She basically is a running skeleton. Skin and bones with very little muscle. That is what it takes to be a marathon champion. Emulating her running form on anything weighing more than 180lbs is less than ideal and might very well land you on the injured list. Learn the shuffle.
