In this episode, Coaches Caroline and Valerie respond to a recent comment about “knee drive” and break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in running form. From “stride length” to “foot strike” to “ankle action,” this is your guide to cutting through the noise and understanding how real running efficiency works.

If you’ve ever wondered what you should be doing with your knees, ankles, or feet while running—this conversation is for you.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • ✅ Why "knee drive" is a misunderstood cue that can actually harm your running form
  • ✅ The Pose Method of Running and how it simplifies movement to reduce injury
  • ✅ How pulling—not pushing—is the key to efficient, pain-free running
  • ✅ Why buzzwords like “foot strike” and “stride” are misleading without context
