Personally, on very technical trails like what you might find in the White Mts., I would rather not use poles if I'm running, but as I was running down Boot Spur last month, I pretended I had poles in my hands. This offered more focus and balance to lean fwd. Thanks for your fantastic advice!

Very interesting. A friend of mine might benefit from this.

This was extremely helpful. Thank you!!!

Thank you. Been dealing with Achilles tendon issues since March 2023. I think I’ve been way overstriding. This, especially number one, was helpful. Like the 4 inch snow analogy

Thanks!!

Thank you very much

Awesome video. As a 30 year runner, I have these issues...and happen to have a foam roller, the same orb ball you're using, a 3-inch orb ball, and so, so many tools. You just taught me new ways to use the orb ball, and I live that Im literally about to ise the orb ball this way pre-run. Thanks! *subscribes to your channel*

Okay Radiohead

I have an issue that apart from my knees looking in my feet look out. So when I try to run "knees out" my feet end up looking even more out. If i try to keep them straight by flexing tibialis my feet end up hurting after any run bigger than 5k. Any advice on what I am missing? Thank you

Is there a specific reason you call this a 'strategy' instead of a 'technique'?

Is this Pose running

I completely agree with this, but if I implement this in low pace (e.g., pace 7min/km & slower) I found my heart rates spike up higher (compared to if I use shuffling technique). Why is that so? Any recommendation ?

i am glad I watched and did it at the same time because I only remembered the basic moves and forgot about some of it. I can do the other one you told me to, but forgot the chair one.

Vielen dank

Thank you! Very helpful!

even at 10 min pace--i am guessing yes but not so way exagerated

It’s very difficult to change your style of running

So, well explained. Thank you.

Good video. Running is the combination of a vertical jump and a fall forward. The sudden explosive raised knee and the calve of the opposite leg provide the vertical jump and the lean forward from the ankle joint provide the fall (by shifting the center of mass). The faster the exchange of the legs and the more you lean forward from the ankles, the more airtime you have and the faster you can run. To practice the lean fall forward from the ankles keeping your torso straight and stop your fall by extending a bent leg. To practice the jump. Do high knee running jump ropes or high knee running in place as fast as you can. Box jumps are good too. Now put the two together run in place with high knees then start leading forward from the ankles. Once you are running, try to pull your legs up so that your feet are touching the ground for the shortest possible time, making sure that your heel is pointed up. Voila, you are running in proper form! To engrain the hip lift into muscle memory, practice power skipping before sprinting. Make sure that you warm up first. Happy trails!👟

Ignore all manbuns.

Sorry, but all i can do is look at those legs. Could eat them 😅

Does this apply when you are very slow? I'm talking 10+ (in my case 11:30 - 12:30) minutes per mile. I am a new. 15 MPW, 4 months in. 170 Cadence at these speeds. I try to think "vertically", but my feet just dont come that far off the ground. My knees bend, but they basically come up to let my leg swing back to center, and go down. There is no "drive" unless I force it and run inefficiently for that slow speed. Is this to be expected? Or should I try to change something about that. I'll post a video (if you're still a small enough channel to do these things), I feel like I can't be the only new-ish runner whos had trouble translating technique videos to a 10+ minute mile pace.

Nice vid! Can I ask what shoes you're using? Look good.

Really liked this video, thank you!

Great video decomposing the running move into horizontal and vertical strategies. I am often confused which strategy to use as I change speed. Is the vertical strategy more, or only, applicable to faster runs? On long and slow zone 2 runs, it feels more natural not to lift the feet much, especially if I keep the cadence >160. Should lower the cadence but keep the hip-lift and stride?

does this apply to all running paces? For example to a light, slow jog as well as speed training?

!!!

I need this! Spraining ankles for 40 years. Stiff ankle causing problems up the chain. Great explanation and visuals.

Love these videos but it would be great to hear all this without any jargon as explained to a towel newb. Flexing and driving are abstract concepts so as a beginner I’m not 100 percent sure what those things actually mean in practice if that makes sense.

Similtaneous: Hip flexor driving upward extending glut, Pushoff driving upward and extending other hip flexor, Opposite arm driving upward extending shoulder.. Then all extended body parts spring into flexion simultaneously, and all flexed Opposite body parts begin to spring and drive into extension. Alternating vectored plyometric jumps, facilitating and being facilitated by the opposite side

Best form video on UA-cam, maybe the whole internet.

Thank you for tapping into my inner nerd of always needing to know WHY the posture is the most efficient! This was a game-changer for my running technique and posture on trails! I was able to adjust my running within a few runs before it has become natural. This is a very subtle tilt driven entirely from the hips, not from the shoulders or waist. Try running like this on a long flat, and you will feel a huge uptick in propulsion, a sustainable high cadence, and far less impact on your joints. This posture also finally solved my confusion about how to run downhill efficiently; with a little practice, the hip hinge allows you to sink the hips back on the downhill without deflating into the hill or over-bending the knees.

Have you got any drills for that?

I have limited external rotation on my left hip and hip impingement when I drive my hips up. I also notice I shuffle when I’m running and have issues doing leg raises. I also have a light lower back pain on my left and I think this is the root cause of my issue. My hip flexors are hella weak 😔

Born to run has a drill standing in front of a wall doing this to a song which beats to 180 cadence

Youre pushing off the toes instead of the heel; is there a reason for this? Calf engagement?

Thanks for your video !

For how long should we do this drill?

The best explanation I have seen so far in youtube. Thank you.

Thanks Joe, discovered you site yesterday when researching my knee problem. Early days but your information really hits the mark. I believe I fit the unholy rotation criteria. Starting your indoor exercises today with deadlift and ice skater. Next run will be mindful of any crossover, that I don’t think I have, but I do toe out, and flick my heal around. Strait line, hacky sack, and bow legging here I come! 👍

You don't need to lift the leg and foot that high when jogging in zone 2 like most of us should do 80% of the time

This is absolutely gold!

thanks very interesting.. can i ask you what shoes are you wearing in the video?

Wow . This is exactly whats wrong with my right ankle . Painful for 10 years of trail running. I've been through 500 shoes trying to fix it. I wish I could make an appointment.

Thanks for this information! This is some great advice for ankle therapy and much appreciated. I have a history of ankle sprains and injuries and am currently recovering from a fairly nasty sprain about 8 weeks ago. I still have some pain in the ankle after running but not much while running. The pain is primarily on the inside and front of the ankle. I'm wondering how soon these exercises should start after an ankle sprain or injury? I tried the stretch and it was pretty intense. You can really feel it. I did have some pain in the front of the ankle while doing the stretch. Any additional advice along these lines would be greatly appreciated.

Correct answer 💯 This is made my running different level Thanks

Thank you for this! I'm starting to memorize the movements and feeling better after the routine each day I do it. 👍🏻

is this exercise recommended to do with ankle weights?

this channel is so underrated, anyway i could work with you online?
