I’m not an expert runner (always improving!) but I have learned a few things through the years…
?Turn the sound on for my play by play on what I’m doing wrong in each clip as I analyze my movement.
1) ❌Chin jut – believe me, this makes it really hard to breathe.
2) ❌Hunching forward – too much side to side movement.
3) ❌Leaving butt behind – this is subtle but once I learned how to engage my core and tuck my hips I felt way better in my runs.
4)❌Shoulder tension
5)❌Taking too big of steps
Have you ever filmed yourself running? Try it. Feel free to tag me for tips!
Some of these aren’t a simple fix, we often establish poor movement patterns and habits that are hard to break. BUT Strengthening the proper muscles, gaining proprioceptive feedback, and watching yourself in a mirror/video can really help.
