THE ROLE & POSITION OF ANKLES IN RUNNING
In Pose Running it is recommended to hold your ankle in a neutral position, meaning your ankle should not be flexed, locked or forced into any specific position at any specific angle. Just let it be. This alone will help you eliminate quite a few potential problems that inevitably lead to injuries.

THE POWER OF A KEY POSITION
When people talk about the Pose Method of Running, the tendency is to simply equate it to a forefoot landing.

ELITE RUNNERS & HEEL-STRIKING
One of the most common questions to come when discussing running technique is "how come elite runners heel-strike?" A very simple answer here - nobody taught them any better. First of all, not all elite runners land heel first. As a matter of fact, the best ones showcase forefoot or midfoot landing. It might seem otherwise because of the photos used in magazines, advertisements, etc. All of that is simply an orchestrated effort by the shoe manufacturers and their cohorts to sell the shoes that they make.
