The power of natural forces. They are always present whether you are aware of them or not. And those forces are always “ready to spring into action” so to say. And you are at the mercy of those forces.

Case in point - squirrel just going about it’s business of getting food and unwittingly “stepping” into the intersection of “physical body interacting with natural forces” without a clue of how they work and most likely no experience with this particular setup.

But we, as humans at this particular time in history, know a little bit about nature and its forces, and should use this knowledge to improve our skills.

When we run, we operate at the intersection of our “physical body interacting with natural forces”. There is a correct way to run.

The mechanism of running movement is the same for everyone. It is based on the mechanism of movement in general, where to move the entire body from point A to point B requires free falling in the desired direction of movement and change of support. This is a framework created and restricted by Earth’s gravity. Gravity does not discriminate. It also offers no shortcuts, tips or tricks. However, if you understand how it works - you can use it to your advantage.

Running happens in space and time where rhythm and precision are essential. Majority of people who run on regular basis, however, are unable to perform this simple drill. Try it.

A very common thing to see in recreational runners is what we call a K-bend - running with a slight or pronounced bend at the waist. If you have lower back pain when you run, chances are you are guilty of a K-bend! How to find out? Video analysis. Record yourself running and send it to a Pose Method Certified Running Technique Specialist (https://techniquespecialist.com)

This exercise will help you fix it.

📸 @jameswauchope @jameswauchope Are you bending at the waist when you run? 😳

Bending at the waist is a common mistake in running technique ❌ and usually happens towards the end of a run when fatigue creeps in 😴

You always want to be tall and upright when running 🏃🏽 This will help to ensure that you land underneath your body ✅

Bending at the waist can lead to over-striding as you often start reaching out in front of you.

This isn’t good for you or your joints ❌

Give this drill a go in your next run and FEEL the difference 🧠 🔋
