TREADMILL VERSUS OVERGROUND RUNNING TECHNIQUE
In response to an ongoing debate on Pose Tech's Forums Pieter, your hero, Benno Nigg, as you quoted, made a statement that "It is not yet understood how the human locomotor system adapts to a particular treadmill running situation". Nevertheless, you are questioning: "How can this be different in biomechanics?" Biomechanics is the science of applying the laws of mechanics to locomotor systems or biological systems. It is different from simple mechanics, because here we are talking of living beings and we also have to consider how to apply these laws through their psycho-emotional and mental systems. The next question...

INTERMEDIATE STAGE IN LEARNING POSE METHOD OF RUNNING
When the main perceptions of the body weight location on the ball of the foot, falling forward and pulling the support foot from the ground have been established (the beginning level), then the intermediate level starts. Alongside with extending the time of holding these elements for a longer distance, we need to bring along a new level of perception with its variations, when the speed, length, psychological and physiological conditions are changed. So, the next step will be to execute the main elements of running technique at a different level of difficulty: with resistance, for a example, with free weights...

HOW TO LEARN THE POSE METHOD OF RUNNING - Part II
In the Pose Method we learn the skills of falling and pulling, which are based on our perception of them. Falling means leaning forward from the vertical body position, where the GCM (General Center of Mass) of the body is located along the vertical line going through the ball of the foot on the ground (the support). Why is this so important? Because only from this position the body can fall forward and we can use gravity as a propulsive force to move the body forward. So in order to use gravity we need the body to be located directly...

In response to FRED WILT’S “TEN TIPS ON RUNNING FORM”
Fred Wilt was indeed an Olympic distance runner and became a famous writer and advocate of running in the 60-ies and 70-ies. His most known book "Run, run, run…" is an incredible collection of articles on science, history and methods of running and reflects his passion and desire to bring real knowledge to people. The value of his work is indisputable. However, not everything that he wrote on running technique still remains on the same level. It is necessary to introduce a modern understanding to his outstanding work and give to him appropriate credits. Below are our explanations of 10...
