I read various places how critical the proper pelvic tilt is for injury prevention and fast running. But when I ask experienced runners their understanding & implementation of pt is generally sketchy. Some say if you have a strong core the pt issue is resolved. Others get into the many nuances of hip action never actually embracing pt as a running concept. Do most elites and elite coaches subscribe to a big emphasis on pt?

So how important/useful is the pt concept for running in age-group triathlons? It seems to really help me to visualize having a band around my lower waist that is pulling my pelvis into the proper tilt and down the road. I've only tried this for the past week but I can see that the other running form maxims seem to be built on top of it and I'm hoping that I can avoid injuries by being sufficiently disciplined to maintain the proper pt from start to finish during races and challenging runs.
