39: Become a Runner Class, Day 4: Running Form

from Beginner Runner Village Hosted by Debbie Voiles

It's not unusual for coaches of beginner runners to disregard form in lieu of total emphasis on building endurance. I believe the opposite is the far better, more effective route, Why learn to run with bad form? Why? It makes no sense. The easiest time to focus on form is when you're only running a few steps at a time. Plus, the better the running form, the less the likelihood of injury – and the better the form, the more comfortable the runner will be, and the more coordinated the new runner will feel, and that is hugely important. In this podcast I take you from head to toe, quickly going over all the elements of running form. If you'd like a deeper, quite thorough look into running form, I've got that for you, too. I've actually done four episodes: BRV 009: Running Form Explained, Part 1 BRV 010: Running Form, Part 2 BRV 011: Running Form, Part 3, Foot Strike BRV 012: Running Form, Part 4, Runner-Watching Mojo for Running is my other podcast for intermediate runners.
