Looking at run videos and got a pop-up ad for video-based12wk running program called Pose Running on Vimeo.
The content aligns very much with some of my thinking on the subject. I signed up for it ($50 or so).
The Pose concept first establishes how and why we are able to run, then re-distributes training program priorities.
Skills & drills followed by a mix of distance and intervals. I'm currently in love with intervals and it's in most sessions.
OK so the Pose concept is:
We can run because of gravity (forward lean)
The fundamental running movement is leg contraction, or picking up the foot to your ~ knee level.
The reflex action is getting the other leg down so you don't fall on your face
Posture, balance, lower leg springiness, resulting in forefoot landings. Efficiency.
They also suggest thin sole, zero drop footwear et al and working on developing feel through the soles of feet.
Now it all rings true to me and makes a lot of sense. If you have spent the better part of your life like me "pushing" as in cycling, skating, skiing - you are going to be a crap runner out of the gate. And this past few weeks doing butt kicks my one leg even gave up (due to nerve issues).
