BACK TO BASICS
Very often, may be more often than I want to see, I observe people running out of what could be considered an acceptable running technique. The thing is not so much about running technique itself, but about movement in general, which, to put it politely, could be described as lacking basic culture. The whole picture appears to be consisting of lots of different movements barely connected with the main movement – running. When you look at a good dancer, or any other skillful performer, you can see only the leading movement without noticing other small details accompanying the main one....

WHY DO WE NEED A TEACHER/COACH?
How do we learn everything? Obviously, in everyday life there are lots of things we can learn by - books, manuals, instructions, and sometimes just by common sense. It refers to learning to work on a computer, cooking food, assembling some simple gadgets at home, using some machinery, etc. Even exercises could be learnt by video/book instructions. Last several decades saw the development of ideas in health and wellness by using exercise and fitness which are now accepted as a part of everyday life.

ECONOMY IN RUNNING

The cause of this discussion was an article in Journal of Sports Sciences (J Sports Sci. 2005 Jul;23(7):757-64.) ”Effect of a global alteration of running technique on kinematics and economy”, Dallam GM, Wilber RL, Jadelis K, Fletcher G, Romanov N., with a conclusion that the global change in running mechanics associated with 12 weeks of instruction in the pose method resulted in a decrease in stride length, a reduced vertical oscillation in comparison with the...

FALLING NOT SQUEEZING
It is typical to have this kind of discussions around running and any other movement - how to use these or those muscles to make our movement/run, bike, swim, throwing, etc, better. There is a ton of advice to "squeeze" one group of muscles or the other. On Pose Tech's running forum in discussion "Butt Running" it goes to squeeze the butt or low abdominal during running and then it goes to development of these muscles. And each one is telling that this one "helped me" and perhaps "could help you". Who is right and who is wrong? May be...
