The Most Beautiful Running Stride Ever?

It sounds like he comes from a naturalist perspective. Just running and letting the body do everything else. I also love the music used. Great music to relax to.

"Let the body optimize itself" Awesome words

[Tubbysneederful]

Dude just listened to himself. How beautiful

[kerkeplank]

Great to see you in the short format! And I agree, that running form is pure beauty. Keep it up!

Be as relaxed as possible is the key to running fast and should be the major focus of your training. It doesn't only apply to distance runners but also to sprinters.

He looks like a graceful deer. Very balanced and relaxed as well.

That stride is so beautiful I’d dream of having that

Holy friggin crap! I intuitively began running more like this a few months ago and cut my mile time in half! I began consciously focusing on keeping my ankles and calves as relaxed as possible, because 90% of the time the muscle’s natural stretch reflex does the work for me. I focused more on keeping a properly braced core but not so tight, my shoulders back but relaxed, and I focus on pulling my knees up rather than pushing down. I find that it’s actually much easier and less overall work to run with a full range of motion.

He was Barefoot running. Perfect form from foot strike to head position.

Bro put some feathers on the book acting like it's from ancient times💀💀

[andersemil]

Mobility is key. Most bad forms I see are due to lack of mobility in hips and lower back

[rocky-qfii]

Barefoot and a shallow forefoot strike+very relaxed top half. Amazing

Developing your own running stride and form is a beautiful Journey and Experience. It is like finding self-mastery and discovering who you truly are, by undertaking a challenge.

The way those knees reach full extension on the forward swing, the hamstrings engaging just before contact is made, how the foot grabs the ground already in it's proper motion... good lord... It's no surprise at all that this guy set records. You could write a thesis on his form.

Love this short!! A series of running history/ information would be fascinating. Keep them coming!

So Inspirational! Running and swimming is all we need to stay healthy besides moderate foods. Be well everyone.

Notice how he doesn't put his heel down first in his stride, he almost lands on his toes. This is how humans were able to outrun (stamina) animals when we were still hunter-gatherers.

I’ve never seen someone look so relaxed while simultaneously running.

The current runner with a beautiful stride has to be ELUID KIPCHOGE. Poetry in motion.

[UniDeathRaven]

You know what, the music is beautiful.
