Pose Method® of Running
I remember being in Coral Springs for The Total Immersion Coaches Workshop when a fellow TI and now Pose Coach Mark Wilson was showing a few people the Pose Method® of running that he had just become certified in. It seemed very intriguing and since I have always had the deepest respect for Mark I thought that this is something that I must try. Since as an athlete and a coach I was a late bloomer I didn’t have the opportunity, whether this was a good thing or not, to be taught correctly or incorrectly how to run. Since such terms as run naturally or run heal to toe have been thrown around the running world there didn’t seem to be any standard towards running that has made a lot of sense. Pose Running Makes Sense. Just as Total Immersion works.
That was January 2003. In March by the graciousness of Nicholas Romanov he allowed me to participate in the coaches clinic in Coral Gables at his home. I had not met the prerequisite of taking a workshop but explained to him that I was a USA Triathlon Certified Coach as well as a USA Cycling coach and a Total Immersion Coach. I think he realized that I was someone who was serious about what I do. Next thing I knew I was reading his book and trying to prepare for the clinic.
Upon arrival in Coral Gables I was instructed to report to Nicholas’ home and meet with him for a private session before everyone else got to the clinic. We sat and talked for about 4 hours which if you know Nicholas that goes very quickly. In came Svetlana (Nicholas wife) and said Nicholas you have had this poor man listening to you for hours. You need to see him run!!! Actually I was trying to avoid Nicholas seeing me run. God only knows what that would be like. Nicholas’ insight and direction was most educational and invigorating and a bit to say the least humbling. Over the next week I learned how to teach the Pose Method® and many other facets of athletics. Whether it be strength training or stretching or just a philosophy towards coaching athletes. Nicholas has given me much more than the best way to run he he gave me the ability to see things throw a different spectrum. I thank him for that.

SKILL TRAINING by Dr.Nicholas Romanov
What makes technique such a powerful factor for improving running performance? First of all, it eliminates possible injuries for all body tissues. Second, it reduces the fear of being injured, which gives the runner a freedom of training and racing, where the speed and volume of running are not so scary anymore. When these factors are eliminated, then our psychological and mental conditions are devoted to the quality of training and racing. Click to read »
