On Saturday I went to a running clinic to get more information about the pose method from a coach who has been running the track workouts for OTC since March (Aaron Castillo). He had some good things to say and some drills that helped the group get faster and possibly prevent some injury. There was ten of us and we all had a really great time and learned a lot!
1. Relax upper body completely (this is a huge challenge for me IN LIFE not just in running)
2. 90 degrees arms (pocket to chin) with loose fists
3. Pull knee up vertically on recovery
4. Foot strike directly under center of gravity
Here's a picture of me running using the pose method:
Apparently, it's supposed to be "good form" that my entire body is in the air... and I'm pretty sure it's bad form to run with your eyes closed no matter what. Eyeye - haha! :)
