After POSE......a changed woman!!

So here's the corrected form....getting better.... mind you this is the first day I learned it. I am WAY better at this technique now.

Improvements : Landing on the ball of my foot or mid foot, landing under my center of mass (hips), heel is coming up to my butt, no push off - I am PULLING my foot up. Arms are nice and tight and I am FALLING forward at my hip. No broken waist. Believe it or not I can run like this basically effortlessly. The cadence is much higher and your heartrate will get high quickly, but zero pain, zero muscle fatigue. My love affair with running has been reignited and I owe it all to Genetic Potential and Orange County Multi Sport - Brian MacKenzie, and Mike Collins for teaching me the POSE technique....and to Brian for being my online coach in this method. Watch out for me this race season - I'm coming back with a vengence!!! I have been working with Brian since late January and he's kicking my ass but I love every single minute of it!!!

Hope all's well!

katiegirlblue,
thanks for stopping by and reading. Hopefully I can be of some help. Starting this technique mid training for something as long as a marthon may be challenging but check out the web site for sure...google pose technique....you'll love it. good luck on your marathon. Which one are you running ?

Sakura,
I started running a long time ago.....when I was 3 months pregnate with my son, maybe 11 years ago or so. My mom is a marathon runner as well and so I just sorta fell into it. I've always exercised though. Thanks..
