Making small adjustments to your stride can make a huge difference in your overall efficiency, and not to mention… prevent overuse injuries, like shin splints and knee pain. ⠀ Running is a controlled fall: you’re pushed down by gravity, and you push off the ground, fighting gravity. The more economically you do this, the easier running is. ⠀ Landing under your hips, with the intention of propelling forward, is easier with a high cadence and when you “kiss the ground” with your mid foot instead of landing with a hard heel drive. Even just doing a heel strike demo… I felt it in my meniscus I never got surgery on. Arm swing: keep it aerodynamic. Pretend there’s a wall on either side of your body. Hips: fall from the hips; don’t lean away. ⠀ Integrate small adjustments to see what works for you! Changing mechanics can take a while, not to mention can be frustrating, but it can help improve so many aspects of your gait and pace. #runningform #runningmechanics #newrunner #beginnerrunner #runningtips #shinsplints #kneepain #overuseinjuries #runningmotivation #runtok #runningtok #runningmotivation #distancerunner #racetraining #endurancerunning #runningexercises #cadence #plantarfasciitis
