3 Simple Running Form Tweaks That Make a Big Difference


Listen Later

We've been teaching running for well over a decade. Coach Dale's first gig in sport performance was teaching linear acceleration and top speed running mechanics. Running form can be over taught and over complicated, so we are bringing you 3 of the easiest things you can do to improve your running form.

The quick version:

1. Improve your line of sight

2. Power your legs with your arm movements

3. Let your hips and chest fall together while focusing on heel lift (kinda 2 things sorry)

Bonus: Stretch! But which muscles are the most important to running form? Have a listen to this short episode and find out.

The shout outs take up the first 8 minutes or so because we had one heck of a race weekend.
