How I FIXED my Running Form!

My form still isn't perfect by any means, but it has come such a long way and I'm so thankful to this book for helping me so much. Highly recommend checking it out!

"The Lost Art of Running" By: Shane Benzie

Another great read is Endure by Alex Hutchinson. It's not so much a how-to or tip giving book, but it gives you a better understanding of the physiology of running. It talks about fatigue, pain, thirst, nutrition, etc. It's not a very long book either and Hutchinson makes the information very digestible for people who are scientists or medical professionals. Highly recommend this book!

Born to Run was life changing. The Lost Art of Running is transformative

I've had the pleasure of working with Shane in person (he offers in person workshops in the UK) and I can testify to the effectiveness of his teachings. Applying his tips to my running form in the beginning made "easy" pace feel like a 100m dash, but in the long run it has transformed my running. Great video! I'm very happy to see him getting more recognition in the running community.

I'm just on the same book, and there was something I read today, during Chamonix, and how he improved a runner's results just by fixing his form. And I do believe that running efficiently and at the same time effectively is what the difference between good form and great form. There seems to be a strong(er) focus on your engine (heart) rather than on your form. Both will have impact on your running, but you can stress your engine on the short run, but you'll get much better results on focusing on the proper form, and you'll stress less your engine in the long run. Just to note a thing, we all start running in a bad form, as long as we work on that in the slow runs we will surely have progress... Or at least that's we want to believe. Cheers!

Thanks for your review. Just ordered that book. Looking forward to get it and read it 🙂

Really interesting and educational! 🔥 I've never had my running form analyzed, although I do follow the principles of good running form. I really want to have it looked at, but I've never had the chance. Awesome video, may have to read the book 😊🙌

jokes on you I've already got a 42 pound head

Begin to run a year ago and being plagued with calf injuries, always left leg ( which I broke several years ago). Hopefully, reading this book can help me.

Between 8:12 and 8:32, it is hard to tell about your right arm because of the camera angle, but your left arm is swinging across your chest a lot. Your efficiency will improve if you concentrate on keeping your arms moving as straight forward and back with as little cross motion as possible. Try having someone film you from the front as well.

Crazy how 1 inch makes that much of a difference

This is so cool! I think I’ll get this. I’ve been working on my form for a few months now and the biggest thing I’ve changed is my ground contact time. Before my feet were almost stuck to the ground and I would bound forward with 150 ish cadence. Now I’m closer to 160 - 170 and I’m still improving. Did this book say anything about ground contact time and its relation to cadence or stride length at all? Also great video, new sub 🔥🔥

interesting video, running form is fundamental, maybe you could add some advice in a future video, or perhaps some injury prevention routines, I think these are interesting ideas! (I just bought the book, I'm curious)
