ABOUT ME: I'm James Dunne, a runner, sports rehabilitation therapist (similar to physical therapist) and coach based in the UK (Norwich and London).

Since 2007 I've been working with athletes focusing specifically on helping distance runners and triathletes overcome injury and improve performance through developing their individual running technique.

Running biomechanics and physical therapy are real passions of mine. I love to help runners run strong and stay injury free.

Thank you James, This is Scott. You are spot on. I have had QL pain on and off and now I understand why.

[hongwu]

This type of “case analysis” is very effective. Thank you

[blair]

This is gold! Straighten that leg - free speed!

I have hip drop and focused on squeezing and hiking the hip on the landing side this morning and it helped! Although I fatigued quicker. Great tips!

working in a running specialist store and from my perspective after around 2000 customers (usually an Appointment takes 1hour) In can say, that 80% of the people I saw have huuuge deficits in the gluteus medius. Even some 3:10h hours where it is basically non existent.

The QL is something I will definitely take another look on, amazing video!

[jonatanolsen]

My form is very similar to scotts, and i can get some runners knee on my right knee.

Man, I am back for running and after years working on my golfswing, drawing lines all over my body on the screen, I am surprised how difficult running is. I am 60 now, but I am really glad I am doing Yoga for years and this will help me a lot to learn a proper running technique.

[cheery-hex]

this really helped me tweak my form, thank you!

[bobgamble]

Outstanding. You've got an incredibly detailed eye.

[kenspencer]

Totally agree with your views. Learn to drill correctly will correct the posture.

[Haitham___ww]

Fantastic series! Thank you so much! I will probably make my own submission soon :)

[Archheretc]

Very good video! I experience sore, this usually manifest on longer runs.

I've not been able to film my technique yet, but I also experience exhaustion in lower back, so I have strong suspicion that glute medius activation is part of my issue.

What a Great analysis and Ressource !!

[stephenpiccolo]

These are great. What would also help with these videos is if you pointed us in the direction of simple exercises that could be done to address these problems. You mention them by name, but I am not sure what they are.

[DK-ltnk]

This is amazing. Thank you so much for such amazing analysis. Do you think the same mechanics of fully extended the back leg apply to slower jogging paces?

[mark]

Hi James! If I sign up for your bulletproof runners program can I get a a video analysis like this?

[JosephHughDucasse]

Fantastic video! I need to get a video of my poor form as not only is my GT balance so uneven, .I waste a lot of energy going up and down. Loved this video and the plethora of useful advice accompanying it.

Hi James. Can you make a video on hamstring pull/tear starting at the sit bone. It’s been 3 months for me now and every time I run, my sit bone still hurts. Help me to run normal again. Ty

If he is experiencing knew needs to exercise on a elliptical and do 5 to 10 minute backwards peddling. You may think I'm stupid....but, my invention of getting rid of knee pain after tearing my meniscuses from about 1/8 inch on left knee and 3/8 inch on right knew. The right has healed faster than the smaller tear on the left knee. But, after doctors approach and injections of steroids and sugar jells only made the tear pains worse -- I figured out peddling backwards backwards on the elliptical I'm now up to 10 units of resistance backwards with 25 degree tilt. I alternate more or less degree and resistance all the time to give myself a great work out with usually 5 to 10 minutes twice an hour of elliptical workout. Meaning 5 to 10 min per half hour in the Mid-Range of the Elliptical. It really helps me bystep the pain and exercise more effectively.
