Hi, a question about this video, in most material i read and watched up to now, one common suggestion is to use the lean (not extreme) to create the falling feeling that let u catch ur steps in a short strife, opposite to this video that says to stay straight up. i’m confused.

nice video, is great to find always new good tips on how to improve & keep a good form in running.

To be honest, I hate running on the treadmill! Will run in rain and freezing temps before I choose the treadmill just because it bores me to tears to run indoors. In my lab I have a Sole Fitness treadmill, works well, but I’m not an expert on brands/models.

It’s on my list of topics to tackle, need to get this one done! Maybe your request is the kick I need to put a guide together.

Yeh, I found out that was the case at the workshop. Good video, I’m like a sponge right now trying to read and digest as much info as I can!

“Thinks” is the critical word in your statement. My guess is that most people who claim to be mid or forefoot strikers are not :)

I’d disagree – it changes the stress applied to one that most people are not adapted to. Lots of people have gotten hurt in transition by pushing too hard too fast

Despite my great respect for Dr. Liebermann I disagree on his advice to “run vertical from the hip up” for (IMO) the wrong reason (fear of bending in the waist). Running strictly vertical will hold runners back from reaching their peak performance. The perception of the torso in space is almost vertical but NOT strictly vertical. A slight lean is fine and yes I agree it should NOT be done by bending in the waist. Check image. Happy running (-;

I live in Washington State. Although it is beautiful this time of year and I can run outside, I am looking at getting a treadmill for the fall/winter/wet spring months. With my current work schedule, kid’s soccer practice, etc., etc., it’s difficult to get into the gym so I’m going to get a treadmill for my home and continue to run when the cold and rain arrives. Any advice on which brand and model? What do you have? Also, any advice on maintaining good running form on a treadmill versus outdoors on the road and trail? Any downside to running on a treadmill for fitness?

running today, i payed attention to the lean factor, I suppose is more in my mind than in my body, I slightly lean from the ankle, with the body straight along itself, if this makes sense.

Just that, when you out running focusing on what you are doing (form, of course) maybe one or two things is more helpful. For me, thinking about vertical is most important, because that posture makes every footstep almost effortless. To that, total relaxed below the knee. Get the cadence right, and you can go on for hours.

So, the answer to Pete´s “what do you think? Lesser cues for your outings. And only Do´s. The Don’ts will be fixed.

Tip: The “thinking of someone pulling you straight up in the hair” for vertical posture makes it. Your feet will float.
