"BEGINNERS GUIDE TO LEARNING the POSE METHOD® of RUNNING"
- POSE -
To learn the Running Pose (Pose Stance) start with it in the static position , keeping your balance on one leg, bent at the knee, with the body weight located on the ball of the foot. (Drill 1. Pose Stance)
Keep the Pose for 4-5 seconds then change the support from one foot to the other. (Drill 4. Hop in Place) Repeat. Do 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps of each drill to let your body "memorize" the pose.
Then incorporate it in a few short (30-50 meters) runs at any comfortable for you speed.
Important! Keep your hips above the ball of your foot.
The most difficult thing to learn is to get a proper perception of holding the body weight on the ball of the foot.
You can use some additional support such as a wall, a fence, or your partner to get this right. You can do it in flat racing shoes or barefoot to get even more precise perception of being on the ball of the foot.
