Hi James, I always watch your 5 min warm up and cool down videos, before and after my runs. I found them to be the best, quick and effective routines as a beginner runner myself. Thanks for making all these videos!

@animalpower7315 6 месяцев назад

Only truly perfect running form I've ever seen in my life is the ultra poor Larry d Atkins that was from west Virginia with just a little of these guys funding and he'd smash 3:43 mile and sub 1:40 800.

@MonteComeau 2 года назад

Watch the runner in green singlet behind Kipchoge....Severe heel striker. Glad you pointed out that this can be done with success with proper stride.

@JamesDunne 2 года назад

Not only that, Kitata (in the green singlet) went on to win London this year! Bit awkward as I’d given him a hard time for his over stride and pronounced heel strike in a previous vid 😂 Good example of world class performance in spite of his biomechanics being theoretically “sub optimal”!

@stephenkober4209 2 года назад

I'd argue if he had corrected his form, he might very well be the fastest marathon runner in the world. Regardless of how far you make it, correcting form will increase running economy, I'd bet my life that Kitata is far less economical than Kipchoge.

Pleasure to have you back, James! Jakob Ingebrigtsen's stride almost gives the impression that he's going to heel-strike, no? But he lands just that fraction bit later and his hips are aligned over his heels at the point of contact, that's quite amazing I think! Also, your cue about focusing on the arm movements to manage cadence when tired in the legs has helped me a lot personally, thanks! Once again, great to see you on again. Thanks for all your work!

@Trailrunner1978 2 года назад

Very good video. You great videos about these topics, especially for new runners like me. Most sub elite, but very good runners, for example 1.15 half maraton, can have technique that seems "off" like not proper heal lift. That doesnt mean that is the wrong technique for them. Higher speed means more stretch in hips, longer step and higher backkick. If I tried stretch in hips like Jakob Ingebrigtsen or healkick like Kipchoge it wouldnt benefit my thick bodybuilder legs , 220 pound frame or 5:10/km treshold pace. But off course I can be inspired to run with better technique.

@thedarkpassenger331 2 года назад

Hey James excellent content as usual. I am running a group of young fast middle distance guys and i just keep hammering to them the need to drive with hips and knee and aim to achieve kind of "cycling" leg running motion with a bit of heel pull back under the buttock. Apart from the standard dynamic drills, and being a bit "creative" with the s&c (we use bands, ankle weights and even a weight belt), what else is there to improve the hip/knee drive? There are a couple of tall guys who could cover so much more ground if they were able to drive their knees more. Sometimes is maddening... ))

@JamesDunne 2 года назад

Thanks!! Glad you’re enjoying the content. To be honest, in that setting where you might not be able to dedicate as much 1-on-1 technical work to each athlete as you like, I’d get them doing lots of form focused hill work. That’ll force the hip flexion (compared to flat running)! Also, you may already be familiar with it, but if not look up: “Arthur Lydiard Hill Training” for lots of technique focused work on hills to improve stride.

@cooltigermusic 2 года назад

3 things I'd like to add: 1/ it's super important to keep the shoulders relaxed, which is really hard at high pace. The tip is to think of extending the head, which will relax the shoulders. Hard to practice with the forward lean. 2/ The feeling under foot is never talked about but is super important. Imo (please correct me if I'm wrong) we need to "scratch the surface" with the foot and applying horizontal forces only, minimizing vertical forces 3/ the feet should have a circle or oval path at high paces

@srinivaskumarreddy120 2 месяца назад

👏✅✅💯 absolutely right. Shoulders have to be free but forearms movement have to be parallel for the points 2 and 3 you have mentioned to be followed. IMHO🇮🇳

@declanflynn559 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. What is your definition of long distance, 10km and higher?

@johnmatelski6413 2 года назад

One thing to keep in mind when watching footage of elite runners 'heel striking' is the stack height of the shoe. The heel _of the shoe_ might technically be hitting the ground first, but one might speculate that the earliest substantial force transfer is actually happening further up on the foot. Along the same lines, a runner might appear to have midfoot strike but actually be catching the ground further up on their feet.

@ratilalmakanji2372 2 года назад

It's very helpful Very difficult to follow though Very well explained Any more tip on keeping high hip

@tarunsamala7552 2 года назад

Yes this is amazing technique today i tried and better result is I get it

@henryandrews2011 2 года назад

Thanks. Not incompatible with Shane Benzie's book, which I have just finished, though he would add a "run tall" cue to promote an engaged core with a bow shape (from toe to forehead) to use the elasticity of fascia. With hips up and forward he says a tripod landing (on the three bases of the three foot arches in a triangle) results.

@byronrhodes1659 2 года назад

Great runners focus more on using torso torque to counter balance leg action rather than a heavy arm swing, a runner like Matthew Centrowitz is a great example of this, his arm swing is very controlled and less pronounced than most runners.

@todallard8791 Год назад

Short sprints (40 yards or meters) then striding out to ease the pace down while focusing on your form is great for form, you will notice the forward lean and landing on the forefoot will happen naturally when doing this. I also like hill repeats for strength, form and speed, you need longer hills and shorter hills for the repeats.

@AdrienLegendre Год назад

I find it easy to focus on one goal: planting foot on ground quickly into a perfect kick position for maximum force: 1) foot surface is planted horizontally on ground, land with entire bottom foot surface touching the ground, 2) knee is bent and vertically above the ankle, 3) lean forward with center of body mass only slightly behind planted leg. Ignore stride. Get the foot on the ground as fast as possible into a kick position so immediate kick is possible when foot touches the ground. Stride will adjust with running speed automatically. Kick forcefully to get heel just below my buttocks. Some core body rotation helps with hips and shoulders, but too much may slow down the kick; keep arms close to body for balance and minimize fatigue. Too maintain a certain speed I deliberately pause the kick to keep running speed down, but at the same time I can deliberately reduce this delay to run the fastest I can based on my endurance.

Re stride: Show your sole to the angles. This will force a natural pendulum swing and follow through propelling you on the front of your stride. Arms: Bend elbows >90° hand loose enough to hold a potato chip making small circles as they cross over the center of the body with each stride.

@CraigABuzzard 2 года назад

Is there a guide of things I can do to help keep conscious of my form when running and the sensation of it? For the forward lean, the tip of hips up and forward is helpful, but not sure how i should identify the sensation of where my foot is landing on an actual run, it feels different to the drill of hands against the wall and putting my feet up and down. Same question with how can I feel my core is engaging correctly with my arms and pelvis rotation.

@TerjeMathisen Год назад

Jacob has ben tested along with his older brothers from a very young age, as documented in the Ingebrigtsen reality series. As a junior he supposedly had the best running economy of any runner they had tested! I'm guessing that by always trying to keep up with those older brothers, he was simply forced to develop a technique which allowed him to keep up. 🙂 BTW, I strongly agree with your assertion about the need for core body strength: My own sport has always been orienteering, where we run cross-country while navigating, and I have done significantly better during those years where I have been able to fit in 3-4 hours of indoor rock climbing every week over the previous fall/winter/spring period.

Can You give some conseil To upgrade my level in running

@caseysmith544 2 года назад

Odd part for me I have been able to run with arms or an arm not moving at all often not fast though a few times fast more common with using just one arm. What this tells me from what you are saying is I am running with very little side to side or my core is rather stable despite not looking that way. The thing I have found is but kicks when running, this is trying to kick your butt with your heels while in a normal running gate. When doing this, I often tend to run like most of the elite runners including some ultra runner who are not doing super rugged terrain where they need to be more upright when running though often still good lower form of no over striding, no matter the speed I am going. The other thing the speed often gets a tick faster when doing/thinking about the butt kicks. This form often includes a proper lean naturally as simply you could have a high chance of falling or tripping if not using the lean during the but kicks. If you can kick the butt using the same leg as that butt cheek then you should not try this at all, trying to kick the butt.

@GbawlZ 2 года назад

A lot of this just comes with running fast and running a lot. The more often you run fast, the better you can fine tune things and the more comfortable you feel. When you try to run fast without being used to that pace, you will struggle a bit more and your form/posture/stride will suffer. Just keep running and don't worry about this stuff too much. The exception is learning how to use your arms when you run, the more you swing them, the more energy you waste.

@andyhaochizhang Год назад

Personally I think we amateurs should stop worrying about what top pros are doing. The the top 3 of Tokyo Olympics women's marathon, you have 3 distinct styles, from very forward leaning and long strides (Jepchirchir) to the middle of the spectrum (Kosgei) to very upright with shorter strides (Seidel). Yet they all achieved extraordinary results. It's quite possible their good looks are a result of their competence. All great runners look good in different ways, but not all good looking runners achieve great results.

@adamfeerst2575 2 года назад

A couple of important things I think you forgot to mention: 1) The direction the foot is moving relative to the ground when it strikes. In efficient running, the foot is “pawing” back so that it has momentum before exerting force. 2) Ankle mobility. In good form, the ankle will flex up in the recovery, the down as you are pushing off. This mobility can be trained. Those without it can’t seem to be almost hopping from heel to heel.

Still can’t believe how much bend is in the arms of these elite runners… my hands go numb and I have severe body twist when I bend my elbows this much… my hands are down at my hips. That’s the only form I’ve found to keep my shoulders steady and my upper body from twisting too much. Hands low and close to my body, just a slight bend in the elbow.
