Summary

In this episode, Matthew Boyd discusses three common running technique errors: low cadence, overstriding, and knock knee running. He provides drills to address each of these errors and improve running performance.


The first drill focuses on increasing cadence, aiming for a step rate between 170 and 190 steps per minute.


The second drill helps reduce overstriding by running on the spot and gradually increasing speed while maintaining proper foot placement.


The third drill uses pogo jumps with a resistance band to discourage knock knee running.


These drills can help runners improve their technique and reduce the risk of injury.


Takeaways

  • Low cadence, overstriding, and knock knee running are common running technique errors that can impact performance and increase injury risk.
  • Increasing cadence to a range of 170-190 steps per minute can improve running economy and reduce energy expenditure.
  • Running on the spot and gradually increasing speed while maintaining proper foot placement can help reduce overstriding.
  • Pogo jumps with a resistance band can discourage knock knee running and improve running efficiency.
