How I Fixed My Running Form

✅ Run Faster for Longer with Less Injuries

I took my 5k run time from 20 minutes down to sub 15 minutes after discovering 3 keys about my running form. So in this video I'm gonna show you two ways to assess your own running form so you that you can optimize your running form and start to run fast and injury free like I did.

✅ Let me give you 30 ways in 30 days to run faster for longer without training more:

I was running few years before I got internal meniscus injury in my knee, that basically ended any running for me at the time. I was very close to a surgery, but decided to go with physiotherapy. I've analyzed my body and technique. It appeared that I had very weak glutes, almost no activation and very weak hamstrings, on top of this I was overstriding a lot so generally I was killing my knees every run... now I'm slowly starting to recover, being able to run 1-2km pain-free.

Your material is super useful, I watched a LOT of videos on running technique and it's surprising how few of them mention glutes and hamstrings (generally back of your legs) as a huge factor of healthy run.

15mins 5k is a really good time. Good to hear you've found something that works for you. These are good things for all runners to try, obviously varying biomechanics which mean what works for you ins't true for others. There are a lot of variations in the running styles of elite runners across long and short distances. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

This video covers a ton of important, and most often overlooked, details of good running. So clear, so efficient in presentation. I am really impressed. I am a runner, writer, health expert and now a subscriber. Reach out to collab.

I changed my running form from overstride too. Increased my cadence. Before i was running around 5min/km. After the fix im closer to 4min/km. It makes you so much faster.

Wow! Very informative video! You make me realize that the big difference between you and me is that you actually do and apply correctly what you know while I simply limit myself to reading and understand the running mechanic. My body has it's way to remind me that it is a slow learner.

Thank you for your highly motivating video. From now on I will do my running drills as part of my warm-up each time I go running.

I will do some old running shoe sole reading to assess how bad the current situation is. I tend to have plantas fasciatis which mean I do not run well at all.

Have a pleasant day.

Great information. I wish I knew this 20 years ago but it's not too late. I've taken up running again at 50.

Very interesting point about lifting the toes. There’s loads of information about dorsiflexion potentially causing injuries, but not much about the toes. I tend to strike with midfoot or forefoot (depending on the pace and the shoes), but I also tend to lift the toes. I feel I’m not entirely relaxed during the run because of this, my shins are constantly activated and my extensor tendon is often sore. I’ll try to focus more on keeping them flat

[MrWadeBarrett]

Im a habitual toe lifter myself and often have shin splints... Time to work on that! Thank you

[oglover]

Wow, tutorial of super quality, bravo!

Really enjoyed this video, would love going deeper on all the drills, stretches and exercises.

It's been a year since I started running. I followed every tip there is to proper running form. I can now run sub30 5k regularly. However, my biggest regret is not fixing my cadence. So I am going back to the basics to fix it.

[soyanchd]

18min 5 k is still 10 minutes faster than my 5k 😂

What I saw on the side view of the treadmill regarding where your foot strikes the ground is that, above all, the change especially came from leaning forward more.

[cristian-adrianfrasineanu]

5:26 - It's about excess dorsiflexion (as you showed in the treadmill video) not about the absence of it. Dorsiflexion is an essential part of the landing phase followed by pronation and adduction.

[kristy]

Great video! Always wondered why my trainers end up with holes in the toes (time to make some serious improvements)

Great video. I've worked hard on improving my running form, and cadence, which has already helped, especially with fewer injuries. My shoes have very even wear now as well. BUT, I do have that big toe problem, and get holes in the top of my shoes! I've never heard anyone mention this, so great to know I need to sort it out! Is it really just a case of active awareness and relaxing my toes??

[Warinx]

Nice points, would have liked a list or some more point by point, aswell as a short summary in the end. In writing or voiced summary.

[yakiweiss]

Well done, a great video, I subscribed to your channel!

Thanks for sharing!
From the side view it often looks like your landing on your heel like at the 5:16 part. But you have the data to proof its not like that 👍
