This forum has so many people who have benefited from Doug's amazing gift of teaching swimming technique through words. I think many would agree that his advice can be easily translated to the pool, and that he writes in such a way that can be easily visualized while swimming.
As I was on a run yesterday (I'm a slow runner), I realized I had no idea what I should be "visualizing" in order to improve my run technique. I spent most of my time just trying to achieve a "smooth" running style, but I really don't know what I should be thinking about as far as foot strike, body position, stride length, etc). There have been many good posts on these subjects, but none that have brought the same clear level of understanding as Doug's swimming posts.
Understanding that "everybody is different", is there anybody out there that can describe a "visualization process" of a perfect running stride?
