THE STRIDE FREQUENCY
Despite the fact that stride frequency is known as one of the most important parameters of running technique demonstrated by all elite runners, the difficulty with stride frequency or stride cadence is the most common problems in running. First of all, it is difficult and uncomfortable to do a change of support very often, because the rate of movement is unfamiliar to our muscles. Second, the stride frequency is perceived as an isolated movement, not related to the whole running process. Third, we don’t know how to achieve high stride frequency as a movement and command. In order to solve...

BACK PAIN IN RUNNING
This a common problem for many runners and very often with no solution except for the unlikable one - to get off of running to get healed. But your solution is inside running itself: you have to run proper. What exactly does it mean? First and foremost: do not work against gravity. Do not pound the ground with your heels Do not push the ground off with your legs The next important point is the body position in relation to support. If your body is not aligned along the straight line going through the shoulders, hips, and forefoot on support,...

Obviously we have to understand that our feet are the part of our body that is responsible for our contact with the ground. Therefore their strength, perception and skill determine the body's interaction with the ground. Our feet do not have their own separate function, they are only providing service for the body's movement over support. The problems start when our feet's activity goes beyond their main "job". This activity may be manifesting itself in many different ways, such as: landing with more tension then is necessary; landing (putting the body weight and keeping it long) on the part of...

POSE METHOD AS A WAY OF MOVEMENT
QUESTION: One unanswered item from my post "Marathon good, but when do I get my speed back?" is how can I work to use Pose effectively in sports such as football, soccer and basketball where starting, stopping, turning, and jumping are valued as much a raw speed? My concern is that while I'm using Pose as much a possible when running straight, I'm doing things that are normally not desirable (braking, pushing off, landing in front of GCM, etc...) when I need to stop, turn, etc. While I understand that I need to come out of Pose to stop, after...

FASTER RECOVERY AFTER MARATHON
What does it mean to finish a marathon? The finish line looks like a battlefield with runners wobbling and hobbling around with pain allover their bodies and mind. For most runners it also means continuous suffering from muscle soreness, ligament and tendon pain for days and even weeks, when walking up and down the stairs is a real torture. Are we really supposed to pay like this for the pleasure of running a marathon? Is there any way to avoid this or at least reduce these unpleasant consequences? What does muscle, ligament, and tendon soreness mean? It means that all...
