Pose running technique training (before and after)


Keep in mind that between the "before-" and "after" vid, we were busy for about two hour teaching pose method through the elements of Pose, Fall and Pull and understanding the concept of pose (the role of gravity in running, muscle-tendon elasticity, muscular action, etc.) Lots of drills, improving awareness (perception) of good movement, integration of good action in the running movement etc., etc.. I tried to be most accurate in my explanations of things happening in the vid. Nevertheless, be aware that wrong interpretation of written words (which often happens), may lead to wrong conclusions and actions. I you want to give "pose" a try, make sure to fully understand what pose is about by looking up a little more then alone this vid ;-).

Runningtechnique in slowmotion, filming 300fps which was further delayed for a certain percentage. Characteristics of the Pose method of running; 1.Landing as close as possible under the body over the BOF=ball of foot (with BOF, hip and shoulder aligned) 2.Using gravity as the motive force in running by falling forward, (allowing the COM=center of mass to move over support). Don't bent in the waist! 3.COS (change of support) by pulling the foot from the ground via hamstring activity. There is no active (conscious, intended) push-off on support. Use of tendon- and muscle elasticity of plantar fascia, achillis, calve muscles, quadriceps, ITB etc., helps the body to regain height to change support again. 4.Speed, ROM (range of motion) of limbs and cadence depends on the angle of lean and the ability of the runner to change support efficiently. The movement of the legs results from use of muscle- and tendon elasticity, gravity and momentum/inertia. An active landing should be avoided (extension of knee, dorsalflexion of foot, forced BOF landing). The thighs should stay relaxed in the swing-phase, so no active knee drive. BTW; To make good use of muscle-tendon elasticity, pose method recommends a minimal cadence of 180 spm.

Barefoot running technique Jacky (Pose method)


Barefoot running (Pose method) Last year, I uploaded this video footage in much better quality (see "More from Thjeko"; "Running different paces, (pose)"). It starts with a fast run on Puma H-streets. In the video messages you can find another, more recent and better quality video footage of barefoot (minimalistic shoe) running. BTW; This vid was one of my first vids uploaded on youtube. I used it to check on my efforts to improve my running technique (Pose) and had it analyzed by pose experts via the poseforum on the posetech website. Pose method teaches movement and it sees running as a skill of movement and not just something that comes naturally to us. Unfortunately we (well most of us) lost the natural skill of running efficiently long time ago. If the skill of barefoot running is on your wish list, you might consider to look into the pose method of running. It will help you to transition your running from shod to barefoot (or minimalistic shoe wear) in a safe way.

Carl Lewis & Pose Method Analysis


Carl Lewis is arguably one of the great runners of the 20th century, especially in form. Even he however, does not have all the components of great technique. Carl Lewis has good form with a few simple flaws. If you notice on the starting blocks, Carl Lewis pushes-off, completely extending his leg to no avail. When on support at the starting blocks, the majority of your body-weight rests on your hands. When you release your hands, your support shifts to your feet. This steep angle of incline cannot be maintained while running. It can however be used in order to gain momentum and speed very quickly. It is an advantageous position of acceleration because you do not have to lean into your run on the contrary, you start your run with a tremendous lean. Once you are airborne, how much can you push-off off the ground? Not very far. Try to imagine pushing out of the starting blocks similarly. What good does it do to extend the support foot if there is no body-weight to back it? All of your body-weight is now airborne, the only reason you still have a foot on support is because you arent moving fast enough to pull it off of the ground. Knowing that, there is no reason to exert any special efforts to push-off after the starting blocks. The focus needs to be on shifting support as quickly as possible: pull pull pull.

Pulling the foot (Pose method)


Note; When mentioning "Braking contact with the ground" in the vid, I mean "Breaking contact" etc. etc. The perception of "Relaxed thighs" (as mentioned in the vid) doesn't exclude hipflexor activity to add to recovery. A lot of people over complicate the element of pulling as meant by pose method. Both runners in the vid studied pose for a couple of months before I met them for their first pose session. They both show totally different movement patterns in running which clearly shows that the same "messages" are interpreted in very different ways. I hope that people, that are trying to optimize their running via pose method, will learn from the errors in pulling as demonstrated in the vid. This to avoid wrong actions and habits, which might as a consequence delay the process of becoming a more efficient runner. In request to my two clients, that were so kind to allow me to use the video footage of their running before starting the training session, I have to say that what helped them most to perceive good pulling was the "on hand" coaching which enabled them to to FEEL (becoming aware of) the meaning of "relaxed thighs" and pulling with hamstrings. The awareness of body movement (in all kind of aspects), through PERCEPTIONS, is the main tool used by pose coaches when teaching pose running. For the folks interested in more details; Without the pull the leg would not fold until after it starts to swing forward and so would trail more. With a pull you get a shorter pendulum <b>...</b>

Pose running (before and after training)


Allready pretty good form. Errors (best seen in the fast running parts) is the excessive knee drive (use of hipflexors). In the swingphase the knee should come forward due use of muscle- and tendon elasticity of the hipflexors, gravity and coriolus "force". There is no need to activeley drive the knee forward and definitely not upward. Doing so will force a landing ahead of the body. Also it will keep the runner back from falling (leaning) efficiently (as the abdominal muscles will rotate the pelvis backward to stabilise it and create a solid punctum fixum). In the last runns, the knee swings forward in a more relaxed manner, the lean is better, the landing is more under the body and there's also less push off.

Overall not bad, but it ain't perfect yet. Fast running: First touch down a little ahead of the body, but about a frame later I'm falling. Timing of pull can be better and the pull needs to be directed under the hip a little more (fast run especially). Lot of horizontal movement, not too much braking as it seems. Little push-off action.

Running: Efficiency of Pose Method - George Dallam, Ph.D, former USA Triathlon Coach


Popular wisdom is that running and landing on the heel will actually reduce injuries. My personal experience has been to the contrary and this running model (Pose Running) has helped us create a model that we think will produce a more injury resistant athlete. A more injury resistant athlete is able to then train more effectively, train at higher volumes, and thats of benefit to us. A second element of the model that is extremely important is the athlete is able to have a more relaxed stride, because they are not attempting to force an increase in stride length by pushing very hard, lifting the knees high; they are able to reach a level of relaxation, that I as a coach know is one of the most critical elements of elite performance. Once an athlete achieves a higher amount of relaxation, the amount of work necessary to go at a given speed is reduced, we see that in all the things we measure: heart rate, lactate, etc. This model, in simplifying running and in being very succinct, enables an athlete to come to that point much quicker than is typically the case. Typically that relaxation comes only through a lot of years of running, and this is a way to get there much sooner.

Fighting gravity while running (Running technique/Pose method)


Miniclinic pose in which we practiced the elements of Pose, "Fall " and Pull via drills followed by short runs (20-30m). The video showed the running before and after the session. In the before footage it becomes clear that X is fighting gravity in multiple ways; Landing ahead of the body (thus braking forward movement), spending too long on support, excessive push-off action, anticipating for landing by extending the lower leg in front and dorsalflexing the foot. Of course it's an illusion to think that all problems can be fixed in one session. It takes a lot of time, patience and dedication to get rid of old bad habits and feel comfortable with new learned movement patterns. X. was suffering from pretty severe achillis injuries for several years (left more than right). When starting the session, the achillis was painfull when running old style. During the 90 min. session we did several drills to minimize tension in the lowerlegs and get rid of an over active achillis- and calf complex. She was able to train (drills combined with short runs) without pain. The shoe she's wearing at the moment is not suitable for a forefoot running style. When running forefoot with high heeled shoes, the achillis (and structures surrounding it) might get injured due to pressure of the contrefort (back) of the shoe when taking support. Another negative aspect of the high heeled shoe, is that it prevents the natural lowering of the foot (heel) when absorbing the shock from impact. This will <b>...</b>

Running Technique Romanov's Pose Method


Speed in running is determined by cadence and stride length. The goal in Pose Method is to have more efficient running technique. Rather than using an inefficient heel-toe landing, the aim is to land with the center of mass over the ball of the foot (hips above the ball of foot) with a bent knee in a position of alignment on "Support" known as the "Running Pose" (The fly-leg should be pulled to come underneath under hips.) This allows the general center of mass to accelerate horizontally via gravitational torque (forces-based), rather than going "up" vertically because of the use voluntary muscle contraction at the time of landing. A "push" causes vertical oscillation, one of the primary indicators of inefficient running technique. The running pose is the only position we can fall from so that we don't have to push or use voluntary muscle contraction a the time of support other than pulling the foot from the ground. The sooner we can reach the Pose during the support phase, the quicker we can fall (or lean) out of balance. Or put another way, as soon as the body weight comes into balance over the ball of the foot, we can begin falling past the vertical line. As we fall further from the point of balance, we move faster. Cadence being one of the major components of speed in running, the ability to quickly change of support is essential. Speed of falling determines cadence. The Running Pose comes together by "trigger" pulling the support foot in the direction of the COM <b>...</b>

"Posing" to better running technique


This video shows a runner's form before and then an hour and a half later; after taking his first tuition using Pose Method. As you can see in the first video, the runner is landing with a heel strike and is spending too long on the ground. His body position is sat too far back which is causing the hips to drop down on landing. This is causing excess strain around the lower back, hips and glutes. After some basic tuition using Pose Method, the runner is now prioritising bodyweight for forward movement and is landing with a soft bent knee, loose ankles and on the ball of foot much closer under the body. The runner is visibly spending less time on the ground, meaning less braking and less muscle loading. His hips no longer drop down on landing which reduces the associated stress on the body. The runner is now gliding off the ground instead of clumping down into it with each step. As you can see it is quite comfortable to run on hard ground with no footwear - using Pose Method ;o)

This vid shows four (plus one) athletes running their own style and four (other) runners trained using Pose Method. The athletes running their own style show similiar characteristics namely; Landing in front of the body on the heel first Push off action (extended rear leg), excessive vertical oscillation (up and down motion, bouncing) Slow recovery of the swingleg (mainly passive as it is being dragged forward by the moving ahead body) The runningmotion looks like alot of effort and muscle work Te impact and load on joints, muscles and tendons is substantial (=high) The athletes wear cushioned shoes with pronounced heels The Pose trained runners show similarities aswell; Landing close under the body, over the ball of the foot No active push off (neutral foot and knee bend of the rear leg at take off). Minor vertical oscillation Quick recovery of the swingleg due to a timely and well directed hamstring pull (ankle under, towards the hip) The running motion looks continuous and smooth The load and impact on the joints, muscles and tendons seems minor and looks natural and healthy The pose runners wear minimalistic shoes with low heels BTW; It seems honest to mention that the runners running their own style were performing in a race, this is in contrast to the Pose trained runners. The Pose runners although all running well within Pose standards, don't consider themselves perfect. There's always something to work on ;-).

Bad Running Technique Analysis


Once you learn the Pose Method you begin to notice that many runners don't have good technique. Better yet, they have no technique. Since technique means the "skill of doing," they are not correctly doing anything in particular since there is no standard. However, with the Pose Method we do have a standard to compare to. Today we will look at an Olympic runner from the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Although she is an elite runner, she still has poor technique. In this video we'll dissect the many levels of poor technique.

Running Technique - High Turnover vs Quick Change of Support in Running


Many runners often suffer from sore calves and pain in the Achilles when switching to the Pose Method. This is largely due to the different muscles that are required to function in an entirely new way. However, there is also the case of not performing a quick change of support correctly. To put it simply, many runners might initially be guilty of 'spinning their wheels.' You see, a quick change of support can be described as a high turnover. Conversely, a high turnover does not necessarily mean you are performing a quick change of support, rendering your efforts useless. This leads to exhaustion and soreness, without much benefit. The real benefit for a cadence of 180+ comes when you perform a quick change of support correctly! If you're getting tired and sore, there's a good chance you need to re-evaluate your technique and make sure you're changing support correctly.

Running - Natural Method (POSE)


Many people run on their heels with their leg extended in front of them at the point of impact. This is effectively breaking their momentum and working against gravity, injuring their body with every step and using more internal energy than necessary. I created this video to help illustrate the natural method of running that has been scientifically proven as THE way to run and is often referred to as the Pose method as researched by Dr. Nicolas Romanov (www.posetech.com ). It's a method proven to reduce knee impact by 50%, used by Olympic National teams (including UK, USA and Russia) and endorsed by natural fitness experts such as Wild Fitness (http ). Leverage gravity to propel your body forward faster and more efficiently over any distance from 100m sprints to marathons! POSE running is not 'heel to toe', not 'midfoot', nor flat foot' running. Many people think they are POSE running by running on the balls of their feet but still bend at the hip, to avoid injuries and to help yourself run faster, stronger, longer I recommend professional POSE coaching. Through coaching you will gain a perception of body weight that will increase flexibility and strength as well as injury free running. In this way you are guaranteed to reduce injuries, and become more functionally fit in a way that transfers to any sport from Snowboarding to Golf. To run in the most efficient/functional way possible I recommend combining the POSE method of running together with the 'SPRINT' model of <b>...</b>

I started running with very flat feet, I was advised by a physio to get inserts otherwise I would get into trouble down the line. It was right at about the same time as I started looking into using Pose Method (early 2007). I decided to move straight to flat non-supportive shoes for running instead of the orthotics. Fast forward 3+ years and I still have never had a single problem with my flat arches, not only that, but the strengthening of the foot muscles running without arch supports has pulled the arch up.
