3 Running Form Hacks No One Will Tell You About - How To Make Running Effortless 

Of the many MANY videos I've watched, I only just heard about the triangle in another of your videos. I tried it yesterday, and couldn't believe how natural it felt! Thank you!

Thank you ! … a little context: I am a 60 year old beginning runner. I plan to run a 25K in 6 weeks. I have been training for 2 months with slow progress. I have been strength training, but my runs (8 - 10K) have been challenging. I watched this video. I then went for my longest run yet (about 14K). I concentrated on cadence, stride, and “the triangle”. This was a huge difference! When I started to tire, it was usually the cadence and stride. I felt very good at the end of the run. For me, this video is priceless. Thank you !

Excellent advice..I’ve adopted a lot of the tips on here and definitely have improved endurance and comfort…I also ask myself ‘if someone was looking at me would they think I was tired?..’…if I can honestly say the answer is yes then I change something..usually my stride length or running form

That toe flick is key to engaging the entire kinetic chain. I see too many runners that don't do that. You don't even have to be running fast to do this. Great feedback Coach Parry!

Terrific advice and the 4 things I focus on throughout now. It has made a great difference helping to hold my form.

Amazing channel with brilliant content thanks so much for your advice.

Great advice as always, thank you!

This is a brilliant channel. Thanks so much. Feel I'm getting better just watching it

Thank you! Excellent content delivered with professionalism and sincerity. 👍

I’ve been using your training points for a year now. I’m 58 so was leery of making too many changes. My average heart rate has dropped dramatically as my efficiency has improved so that my volume has increased to a consistent 100 kms a week without injury. I’m now incorporating more strength training to improve my speed and hill climbing ability for trail running. The Triangle is a great visual. I also like toe tapping while running tall to ensure I’m not leaning back. I get lots of snow and ice to practice on up here 🇨🇦

Brilliant coaching delivered clearly and flawlessly once again. Inspirational for me - thanks hugely 👍

I love the format of your vidoes, it's like nothing that exists on youtube and so much great information but easily digestible.

Brilliant video! Thanks

So interesting and helpful. After surgery almost 2 years ago I have been trying to move more efficiently and making sure to not favour my stronger leg. During my weekend long run I remembered the “triangle” and it really is amazing how strong and balanced it made my foot strike and running movement feel. Thank you.

Thanks guys. Super useful!

Very useful to think about when I am outside for a long run 🏃‍♀️ Thank you so much.

I'm really excited to try this on my run tomorrow, thank you!

Would love to see a video of someone running with the correct posture and foot strike at different paces.

You guys give really good advices! Wondering if you are also touching on or planning to expand on trail running, and longer ultras like 100 miles?

The weather looks really2 nice in South Africa

Hi Lindsay, did a 22km LSD and concentrated on open chest, triangle foot landing on running stride and elongated spine. Found that I naturally leaned slightly forward. Felt very comfortable and very easy to visualise as you're running. Thanks for this. Paid for the Comrades so well into training now!

Did this this morning, and I think it significantly increased my pace, in a good way! I focused on landing on the triangle, keeping slightly forward but tall, and flicking my feet out the back. Felt more relaxed and covered more ground with each stride, while landing my feet below my body. Felt much more efficient. Thank you!

As an older runner the heel kick hurts my knees. How do I deal with that?

Great advice guys thank you - I’m a visual kinda person and perhaps some very basic animation would help those that see things better than translating verbal instruction would also be super helpful - I have an old knee injury that I work around and have developed a bit of a shuffle which does prohibit my speed work - there is only so fast you can shuffle right - the knee is better but am struggling to break the shuffle - I do also worry that the shuffle motion tends to limit my muscle movement and although preserving energy it does again limit speed work especially with trying to get PB’s at the 10km and 21km distances - works well at Marathon and ultra distances. Thanks for a great channel.

Will try the shorter stride length during my long run later today.

The woman runner at 3:44 has a very pronounced heel “strike”, during your advice to land the whole foot triangle at once. It may be that she is applying little weight at this stage, but it undermines the message as it stands. This is a common problem with RU-vid videos.

Brilliant info, but I wish you had some visual examples

Omg the reflection coming off of his glasses are hilarious and unnerving simultaneously.

Who’s operating the roto-squirrel in the background?

I have been watching running videos for years, and I'm fast becoming a coach Perry fan. I am trying to understand what you mean by flicking your foot behind you. could you maybe do a video and actually demonstrate somebody running with the techniques you describe in this video? That would be very helpful for me.

I don't understand why I should run "tall". It makes me slower when sprinting and less efficient when jogging 🤔

Some serious critters in the back ground 😂

a little off topic, but i have the feeling he could do a perfect Trump impro. :'D (comedy stuff)

I’ve been doing a fore-foot strike… and I injured my calf muscle. Is this why we don’t forefoot strike?

IF IT WAS EFFORTLESS EVERYONE WOULD BE RUNNING...

You are telling us about them 😂

Helpful presentation. However, anti-glare coating on the eyeglasses would result in mitigating distracting reflections.

effortless running is an oxymoron...

Poor video. Confusing. A couple of bad coaches. I am not a hater, just being honest.
