"BEGINNERS GUIDE TO LEARNING POSE METHOD"
- PULL -
Pulling is very difficult, not physically but psychologically, because it goes against your paradigm and habits of running. The most difficult thing is to give up pushing off from the ground, because it was ingrained in your body and mind during all your life. ("Pose Method" book, Fig. 24.3-24.9, pp.125-130). (Pose Method DVD, Section I, Drills 5,7,8,11; Section III, Drills 2,3,4,5,7,8)
Try to develop your perception of the hamstring muscles pull through slow motion and weight or partner’s resistance ("Pose Method" book, Fig. 29.1-29.20, pp.190-197).
 Do 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps of each drill to let your body "memorize" the pull.
Remember that you can change your movement if you can change and develop your perception in order to get to a new level of your running skill.
Yes, running is a skill, which you have to develop, and all these drills, your new perception and thinking are your tools for this development.
All of this requires your commitment and time, and maybe a sacrifice of some priorities. It also means continuous work. Are you ready for this?
