Whenever I look around at running form videos, it usually features people running at a good clip. They'll often show examples of Olympic marathon runners cranking out 4 minute miles, really driving their knees forward, their heels nearly hit their butts, and their stride looks fairly elongated. When I run fast intervals, I don't feel like my form looks that bad, but what about running easy 10 minute miles? I've always considered the dreaded shuffle to be a "bad" thing, but this guy claims it's more efficient. I know we've got some excellent runners and coaches on this board, does anyone have any thoughts on this?

It seems logical that you could do this for an endurance event and save energy. Engaging more of your body would only produce speed and his goal is efficiency. If I am dragging, and feel like I am relying on my arms too much, I focus on activating my calf muscles for a springier step. But I would never do that, naturally, for a long run/race. |
