How PRO runners run SLOW with amazing technique

When it comes to learning how to run properly with good running form, watching pro runners like Eliud Kipchoge running fast can be inspiring but pretty un-relatable. But watching how they run at slower paces, more realistic for most of us, can offer some insights into what perfect running form should really look like.

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.

Finally the video I was looking for. The world's first Youtube video explaining good running form for slow runs.

[sambithdas]

The fact that his recovery run is better than my marathon race day run shows how great he is!!

[bradmyers]

Nice video sir, I’m just a 3-4 day a week 52 yr old runner, been at it earnestly for a few years now, and I do believe my form and efficiency have improved from your work here. Nice to see what a “slow” day run should look like in comparison to faster paces, thanks!

[sander]

These analysis videos are such amazing value and exactly what i was looking for.

[FarmerDan]

James, Daniel here. Thank you very much for your feedback. Didn't realise how much my form was adding to my discomfort. While my PTT is mostly on the mend, i'm hoping these changes and exercises will continue to help with my ankle. Cheers!

[mugiwaranoshanks]

Exactly what i needed, as i wanna improve my running form on easy runs and suffer from Tib post Tendonitis

[OaxSport]

Great insights, James! Watching pro runners like Kipchoge at slower paces is invaluable for learning perfect form. Thanks for breaking down the technique and offering practical tips. Excited to try the exercises! 🏃‍♂💪 #RunningForm #StayInjuryFree

this is wat i been searching for, tqvm coach

[glatocha]

I like the video, but have three questions if you don't mind me asking:
1. Where is that mobility exercise video?
2. For both paces of Eliud run, possible to get cadence and stride length?
3. Which software are you using to draw and measure on the screen?

Cheers

These people are like celestial beings to me.
Absolutely unimaginable how fast they are while running a mile

Great analysis and explanation on the difference in running speed, will definitely help me on my long runs. Daniel looks to be slightly crossing his center line with his left foot, swinging from the outside to the inside. Right foot looks to be proper swing. Might just be camera angle.

Hello James - can you please talk about cadence numbers for kipchoge? What is when running fast and then slow. Many say want same about ~180 s/m for both paces. I have 170 at pace of 8min/mile and drop down to 155 at very slow pace of 11 min/mile. This not good? Kipchoge is same and not changers. Thank you much.

[vrombo]

I see Kipchoge is running "lean", effortless and so to say lazy. While my intervals are energetic, hard and intense (and thus short/pointless).
We all have smth to borrow from this Kenyan book.

Fore foot landing(Kipchoge)

Guy in blue looks to land on Heel

They call for different running technique. Great video

I have a full foot strike with flat feet. Once i started using wide toebox sneakers, probably 4 months and after i have ex0erienced less injury

[MidLifeRunner]

I noticed in some slow motion footage, I tend to flick that foot out in front of me, but then cover the ground. Is there a mental cue you recommend to not flick out? Thanks James!

[BigAl]

What was the cadence difference between the fast and slow pace please .. is that possible info to have ?

[GeneralCal]

Rolling the right foot actually hurt my feet while watching the 14:22 looks painful!

[marc_frank]

why is his interval pace the same as what he does for the 2h marathon?

[ArtSmalley]

Thanks for the analysis...Can you share what software you are using here to place the running clips side by side, draw lines, and measure the angle please? I think it is some version of Dartfish...I would like to do a simple form of this for some of my runners. Thank you.
