    working in a running specialist store and from my perspective after around 2000 customers (usually an Appointment takes 1hour) In can say, that 80% of the people I saw have huuuge deficits in the gluteus medius. Even some 3:10h hours where it is basically non existent.
    The QL is something I will definitely take another look on, amazing video!

    If he is experiencing knew pain.....He needs to exercise on a elliptical and do 5 to 10 minute backwards peddling. You may think I'm stupid....but, my invention of getting rid of knee pain after tearing my meniscuses from about 1/8 inch on left knee and 3/8 inch on right knew. The right has healed faster than the smaller tear on the left knee. But, after doctors approach and injections of steroids and sugar jells only made the tear pains worse -- I figured out peddling backwards backwards on the elliptical I'm now up to 10 units of resistance backwards with 25 degree tilt. I alternate more or less degree and resistance all the time to give myself a great work out with usually 5 to 10 minutes twice an hour of elliptical workout. Meaning 5 to 10 min per half hour in the Mid-Range of the Elliptical. It really helps me bystep the pain and exercise more effectively.

      There's a video floating around, called something like Bullet Proof Your Knees. They recommend walking backwards on treadmills and Elliptical to engage the stabilizer muscles around the leg joints that often get overlooked when we run.

    I've not been able to film my technique yet, but I also experience exhaustion in lower back, so I have strong suspicion that glute medius activation is part of my issue.

  • @SteveSalisbury
    @SteveSalisbury 2 місяці тому

    I had bouts of knee pain getting back into running over the last couple of years (ITB I suspect). Recently I've been doing alot of snc (strength and conditioning) which has helped, however it was clear my running style changed naturally due to the pain, to be less bouncy and a lot less vertical and I would bet my running looks exactly like this. My calves feel like they do a lot of work when going hard and looking at this, I think I can see why; because I'm giving the extra propulsion through pushing horizontally through the back toes to propel laterally, rather than using the bigger quads to propel more like a jump as such. I'd be nervous to alter my running style to be more efficient, as suggested, yet potentially trade off risk of reinjury.

  • @joemoya9743
    @joemoya9743 2 місяці тому +1

    Nice eval. But, is it my imagination, or is there almost no lean from the ankle? Seems like the run is "all landing" and no push-off from glutes or forward lean from his ankles. Seems like "all landing" and no spring forward creates more vertical movement contributing to the hip collapse...???? BTW, these are great videos.

    • @omenvii242
      @omenvii242 12 днів тому

      He has some forward lean from his ankle. It's not much, but it's enough for the pace he seems to be running in this video. The amount to lean from the ankle, as well as how high your heel comes towards your butt is greatly determined by your pace. If you watch a video of Kipchoge running at his easy pace, you'll see that his forward lean isn't as drastic and the same with how high his heel lifts up. The pace you're running will a lot of the times naturally cause certain changes in your form. There is no "one running form." A lot will be determined by the pace you are running. It's why it's important to train at a variety of paces. You can take someone who has amazing sprint technique and form, but put them at say an 8 minute mile pace, and they'll often not have great form at that pace.

  • @MontrealsFinest
    @MontrealsFinest 2 місяці тому +1

    I wonder if the level of hip extension depends on running speed, at least a bit.
    We often see pictures of 'beautiful running form' with a straight leg during the push-off phase, but these are usually of elite runners.
    If someone runs at, say, an 11-minute mile pace, wouldn't their hip extension be smaller?

    • @brandonchism6960
      @brandonchism6960 Місяць тому +1

      To some degree, sure. But keep in mind that 90% effort doesn’t suddenly make you have outstanding form. There are a few elite and near elite runners that post their workouts on track. Even when they are moving at a much lower effort (still difficult for many of us) they maintain their form. That being said, I will concede that it’s possible that some speeds are too slow/low effort to make certain phases of the run gait as pronounced. BUT those phases shouldn’t come across as deficient in analysis.

  • @thethirstyscholar1

  • @markbyfield8190
    @markbyfield8190 2 місяці тому +1

    When elite distance runners run, there heel hits there arse. I fail to understand how they do this without bending their trailing leg. It won't happen stiffening it out. So, obviously, I am missing something here?

    • @JamesDunne
      @JamesDunne  2 місяці тому

      Indeed they do. It's not about *not* bending your knee... just about getting better triple extension as you come to the back-end of stance phase, before you then snap the heel up towards your bottom (if you're an elite!) during swing phase.

    Not a problem for me. I have good rear leg extension, and I focus on hiking my transition-side hip as I raise the leg to minimize the swing rotation. Power comes from the glutes and quads pushing, not the hamstrings by trying to peel my way forward. Finished 5K today feeling as fresh as when I started.
