What many runners get WRONG about LEANING forward

[@grgr6720]

In my mind I look like Kipchoge when I run. Do you imply I might be wrong?

[@aristodiga82]

no no, you're wrong. it is me that looks like kipchoge when I'm running.

[@LGTVQHD]

I look like Usain I run 5k

It’s called being delusional 😂

[@paxundpeace9970]

Maybe you are Kipchoge

[@insiderugbywithmark]

Hey Fredrik, great video thank you. In my case I thought I looked like Sir Mo Farah when I run, but after video observation the reality is I look more like Joe Biden jogging to the bakery to get a loaf of bread. Work to do.

A video about finger positioning of the hands, please sir! Should they be completely loose or a bit tight or not and the difference that goes along with it.

[@DroggelB]

It would be interesting to know if the shoe drop got some influence here….🤔

[@luimulder3768]

You are Kipchoge, what a beast you are!

[@Lennybird91]

Does this advice apply the same for Barefoot/minimalist running?

[@PureNRG2]

This is one part of running form that still eludes me. I try to focus on a leaning slightly from my hips, but I rarely if ever experience the sensation of falling. Just not sure what I’m not doing correctly.

[@luimulder3768]

Take a video of yourself running

[@PureNRG2]

@@luimulder3768 I have. And I still can’t pinpoint the flaw. The only thing I can think of is my center of gravity is still too high.

[@GrassFedKao]

Think about the lean coming from the ankles instead of the hips

[@PureNRG2]

@@GrassFedKao Hmmm. I’ve not tried that but I will. Thanx!

[@luimulder3768]

@@PureNRG2 yes the lean comes from the ankles. Let us know how that worked

[@alfrescodingdong7430]

If you’re 15 and beginning to run then it’s worth adjusting your form and tweaking it. Majority of times the way people run is how they have run for a big chick of their lives and that is their structure. They can try to change it but unless you’re a major athlete and not suffering from injuries, best to stick to your running form if it’s comfortable to you. If it ain’t broken…

I feel like my waist sinks when I go faster... this could be related to the fact that my strides are getting longer as indicated by Coros. As for the lean I feel like I need to lean background to maintain the pace since I have a tendency to lean far forward when I increase the pace

[@AaronBrand]

Thank you for sharing. I have lots to learn and this really helps me. I guess I need to set up a camera and record myself to see what I’m doing.

[@elad_sefarad]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, you've helped me a lot

[@williamamor9612]

Most articulate I've ever heard.. Awsome

[@jonb9194]

As you described, I always had the feeling I was leaning back when we started with the faster track workouts after cross country. In my experience, this goes away once I start using my hip flexors more strongly to quickly get my legs in front of my hips quicker during the stride.

[@dimitar297]

I'm well hung so it's very difficult to not lean forward when I run or walk.

[@thomasanderson9460]

Chi running is .... ? reading the book now and it's all lean centric

[@bp56789]

Hint's in the name.

[@KamalasNotLikeUs]

Noah Lyles just won gold with a lean forward. Guess your theory is hot air. 😂

Somehow this guy's videos are annoying to me, both the way of talking and the content.

[@dimitar297]

You are coming to terms with being attracted to him and getting over the shame of it.
