Back when I ran track in college, I had a decent amount of raw genetic talent to run faster. But as I graduated to endurance running, my inefficient overstriding led to some serious knee injuries. Imagine how fast I could have been if I actually focused on my form.

In the 80s it was mostly thought good running form was a natural talent and not a skill to be worked at and acquired. If you compare my run form from now to 20 years ago it's a world of difference.

Learn the 7 best tips to run your fastest and avoid injuries.

Episode Quotes

• Make sure your foot land behind the knee. If not it's a hip operation waiting to happen
• If your form works you don't need to change it. If you're getting injured or want to run efficient, then look at the better form
• Hitting the ground isn't what we want - We want to be up in the air for as much as possible
• Anyone that overstrides and lands with the foot in front of the knee, is braking and accelerating and this is a very inefficient way of running.
