Running Form helps you make key improvements in form, leading to optimal running performance with less risk for injury.
For many runners, running technique is an afterthought-one they don't think about until an injury or plateau keeps them from achieving their goals. Running Form underscores the importance of proper form and shows you how to elevate your performance to the greatest possible extent with the smallest risk of injury.
Owen Anderson, PhD, is a coach to elite runners from around the globe. In Running Form, he describes the common problem of runners moving on "square wheels" by braking with each step, adopting inefficient stances, or risking injury with excessive ground impact. He pinpoints the components of good form-foot-strike, shin and shank angle, stance time, cadence, body lean, and posture-to help you understand where you can make small changes that offer significant improvements.
Then, using a basic video camera or smartphone, you can analyze your own form and apply specific drills and exercises to correct any deficiencies. Numerous photos incorporate lines and arrows to help you clearly identify the appropriate angles and movements of sound technique. No expensive software or biomechanics degree is required to learn how to run faster and with more efficiency and to significantly reduce your risk of injury.
Get rid of those running patterns that hurt performance and destroy running economy. Running Form gives you the knowledge to perfect your running form so you can train consistently and improve with each stride.
