RUNNING TRAINING TECHNIQUE

With an ever increasing number of people interested and having a go at running, there is a greater need for running analysis, investment in good trainers and making sure that the right muscles groups are long and strong enough for the journey.  All these are factors help to not only improve performance but also to minimise injury and problems such as knee, shin or ankle pain. I have found this clip which gives some useful hints on good running technique together with some exercises and thought you might find it helpful too.  One point to note however is that the technique of forefoot running is associated with a faster running pace and in my experience this is the not the majority of the population who should focus on getting a heel strike when their foot hits the ground.
