I thought I’d come back and give feedback. After driving myself crazy watching so many videos to try and solve my running issues - it is this one that single-handedly made the most difference. I ignored the common internet forum advice that tall runners naturally have a low cadence and I set a cadence alert on my watch to force me to run with more steps per minute. At first I was very tired and wasn’t sure how I could sustain it. But after only a couple of weeks of this my running has improved significantly alongside my pace, I’m using the muscles I’m meant to and ALL my previous pains have gone.
Nicely explained. Increasing cadence is the single most impactful (and simplest) way to improve running form for almost every runner that has a cadence below 180 spm. I always think of 180 spm as a training goal that you learn to adapt to your fitness level and the particulars of the running environment.
I think giving people the idea that you can instantly change your running form is a very bad way to go about this. People who've been running with bad form will take a long time to adapt their form. If you do a certain movement wrong over and over again, which you do in running, you're not gonna fix something that is an automatic habbit in one session, or 2 or even 10 sessions. It's gonna take months or paying attention and constantly reminding yourself that to change this thing that your body is automatically doing wrong. It's like saying that you can change the way you breath in one go. You can't, because it's something you do subconsciously. Same with your running for, you're not constantly thinking about your running for, it's something you check on from time to time, but it's not a conscious thing you constantly have to mind. And if you want to change it, you might mind it more, but after a while, you'll do it again without thinking about it, and if you want to fix it, it's gonna take a long time of constantly reminding yourself not to fall into your old, automatic, bad form. You're setting people up for disappointment if you try to convince them that they can fix their form instantly, it's just impossible. You might fix it instantly... for those 2 minutes, but the second they stop paying attention to it, they'll return to their old form because it's what their body is used to, and you don't just change something you've been doing for years over and over again in one session. edit: at the end of the video, I see that the "instantly" in your title, was just clickbait 😅😅
Every video on youtube on the zone 2 topic: run slower. Every video in youtube on the running form topic: increase cadence. I feel kind of in a checkmate state here 😢
Ok, your dog sh*t cue helped me and my physio to determine the cause(s) of my psoas and shoulder issue after more than a month of misery. Thanks a lot!
Can you give us tips on how to analyze this with Stryd footpath using the 3 view angles?
14:43 5K. Man I have a loooong way to go.
hello, is there an option to make a video analysis with you online?
Where can I find more exercises for the strength training?
didn't you make 20 videos for this topic already?
How many thousands of runners have you coached?
8:30 what do you mean run normally. Run with my old form?
