This video demonstrates proper form of the running stride. See the full coaching page: bit.ly/11nJasw. Access all of NYRR's free resources at runningstart.nyrr.org.
It is definitely great, but I think they could add some more info around how to get that improvement. For example he says to make sure when you land, that your foot is pulling back, I finally realized how you do that is to over stride and start the pulling motion before your foot hits the ground.
@@neznuga4859 I'm preaty sure humar origins in Africa involved chasing animals to exaustion. So yep we are actually made for running, and may original tribes like the Mexican tataumara or others in Africa still run long distances at veary efitient pace eaven competing in marathons and mega marathons barefoot
@Golden Joy cheetahs are made for sprinting. At distance running pretty much only horses best humans. We have this evolutionary hack called sweating. It's only that we're so devolved and soft from sitting all day at the computer that we can't run. Otherwise humans are top tier running animal.
The best video for runners having poor technique. Thanks a lot for the video. Demonstration was superb. You told me how to correct the faults. I was desperately looking for that. Thanks🙏🙏
I always have the feeling that with these form videos, the runner has quite a substantial pace. Would be great to see a good running form for a slow jog. (a pace most beginning runners will go by)
Exactly, I think this running style can't be performed when running slowly, such video would be more useful as a lot of people can't reach such a speed for long distance run
I'm no expert. Maybe it's best to run at whatever pace you can maintain good technique and just increase your endurance over time? Like the video says, running this way is definitely the best to prevent the risk of injury.
Absolutely informative, well illustrated and simple. As a beginner I feel this is holy grail for running (again im a beginner but the form looks correct to the eye)
I've been running for 5 months now (from zero) and I'm loving it. But I have to work in my pace and especially in my form and techniques. I'm so excited to put this all into action.
when youre in the air, the body has the least amount of friction so the more explosive your hips fire and quickly touch the ground and push off, the longer you stay in the air and faster.
Best video for everyone. Must see for anyone trying to resume running and if you aren’t satisfied with your performance and to avoid injuries of your joints after you have warmed up
Excellent video about running technique that I finally found. My modest contribution for easier jumping to each topic :) #1 1:02 Take off and land on the midfoot or the balls of the feet #2 1:42 Run lightly on the feet; don't pound or plod #3 2:20 Land with the foot and knee pointed in the intended running direction #4 2:45 Avoid leg collapse, which is the sinking of the hips and knees as the feet stike th ground #5 3:39 Actively paw the ground upon landing and push off quickly with each step #6 3:58 Straighten the ankle, knee, and hip joints upon takeoff #7 4:34 Lift the foot toward the butt quickly after pushing off the ground #8 5:19 Drive the knee forward and upward as the leg swings forward #9 6:08 Pull the toes toward the shin as the leg swings forward and prepares to land #10 6:51 Choose a stride lenght that feels natural and confortable; ideally, the feet should land beneath the hips or as close to it as possible
I saw usain bolt trianing and he said all the same things that they are talking about in the video , but these guys explained them like really nice. Thanks
I agree on all, exceptionally on point. I have reservation on #5, #6, and #7 #5 - Moving the feet back as they land and pushing after landing is a wrong advice for sprinters. That may work for normal walking. Sprinters should drive their foot down with much force under their CM with flexed ankle while staying tall. Much of the force should come from the glutes and hamstrings starting from a high foot point (Knee high point). After the forceful foot and ground contact good sprinters should work to lift the foot back up (using reflexes). Forward propellent force is achieved this way, not by clawing on the ground and then pushing the ground using the frontal thigh muscles. #6 For the same reason is a wrong advice for sprinters. All downward forceful action should build while the foot is in the air and should end quickly after foot contact and be replaced by a lifting and throwing the knee forward reflexive action. #7 - bringing the foot (heel) to butt. This is wrong because it advices spriters to fold their Knee joint first and then their hip joint. Instead sprinters should flex their knee and hip joint together, so the advice should be heel to hamstring.
Having watched this video I went for a run and thought about some of the advice. My thoughts are that when you run, you naturally do a lot of this stuff subconsciously, but I can see that if you were trying to teach someone who had a peculiar gait or posture and wanted to correct it, that it is useful to break the technique down.
Great video, thanks for sharing it! I'm not a high school runner, but just ambitious amateur, and watching it during a little injury I realized that I'm making many mistakes you have shown here :( But it filled me with the hope that I can make a lot of progress!
Hi, i would like to know if you have noticed any improvement since you incooporated these tips into your running, i am nursing foot pains due to my amateur running.
Woah- at 2:50 you mentioned how younger runners might sink and bend their knees too much- I have been looking online for 2 years about this. (I'm 16 now..) and my dad & I have never seen anything that further explains this flaw!! We've known this is a problem with my stride, but everything we've read says "make sure you bend your knee!.. blahblahblah" but if you look at good runners, they do not have tons of knee bend, they're pretty straight! This is awesome. We finally found something that shows how I run. I hope I can fix it, we've tried the past 2 years to no avail. (It's gotten better as I got older, but I still look like I lunge when I run.) Thank you for this video, I wish more people would talk about too much bend and sinking in the knees... but one thing: My problem is that I DO have strong quads (not so much hamstrings though..) but my quads are huge and defined compared to runners who don't run like me. So what's up with that?! Thanks!
omg, this is the best instructional video about running form I've ever watched, EVER!! There are lots of information floating around with some of them contradicting each other, so, I've been experimenting each and decide what to take and what not in the past few years. How come I haven't come across this one until now? But very glad to find this now!
I just like to run for leisure and After watching more than 10 videos, this is exactly what i am looking for. it is focused and shows exactly all the common mistakes.
I run 8 miles a day Focus on all exercise stretches ever thing when I finally focus on Engaging my Achilles by pawing the ground this works my times improved Remember to exhale long then you inhale this is the key been Coach little kids for 20 years It really comes them down
Thanks I will make sure to run rightly in the proper way to totally avoid injury and pain forever. This is crucial, fundamental and needed for a lifestyle running habit. Take care.
The video is fantastic, but I don't understand how to CONCRETELY incorporate all of this tips in my run style. I mean, I can't ask nobody to film me with a camera and watch my errors/progress. Maybe : 1) I can focus on ONE TIPS AT A TIME 2) Do it for a couple of weeks 3) Hope that my mind learned the concept, so that I AUTOMATICALLY execute that right movement 4) Focus on another tips, and so on.
Yea thats what i had to do. What helped me was to close my eyes and run in dark areas at night. let me completely focus on my body whilst running to build up the muscle memory and after id felt like i fixed one (i could usually tell because i stopped feeling pain in one area and it jumped to another area in the chain) thing id focus on another
@@p5rsona yeah i used to anyway havent been running at the same location for a while started running with my sister it also helps being a male so i dont have to worry as much
9.98 sec (unofficial) on your best day looks good on paper, but if you can't perform like that at the right time when officials are timing it... you need a lot of things to happen right - no injuries/set backs due to illness/ accidents etc, peaking at right time, right mindset, psychologically prepared, finance for the right equipment & nutrition. Might have been a fluke though, was halfway through plyometric speed & acceleration drills and decided to give it a shot cause was feeling pumped - body and mind were preparing for 100% so fight flight system must have kicked in.
@@errolpaul8043 This is the biggest bullshit i have ever read hahaha. Link us to your athletics profile so we can see your actual times? If you don't have a profile then we will know for sure that its BS, anyone who can run under 11 sec for 100m has one.
saurabh chaudhary it doesn’t matter how you breathe, unless it’s a light workout then you can go through your nose but breathing really has no effect as long as you go through your mouth because it takes in more oxygen
I have just started running and am doing my research on how to run with good technique. This video is without any doubt the best on the internet. Thanks for this.
Great great video - you describe and then demonstrate beautifully. Great work for your content, video ability, and athlete’s awareness of his body to show proper vs. inefficient run form. Top notch man!!!
