Pose running technique principles in summary

Raise your ankle straight up under your hip, using the hamstrings

Keep your support time short

Your support is always on the balls of your feet

Do not touch the ground with your heels

Avoid shifting weight over your toes: raise your ankle when the weight is on the ball of your foot

Keep your ankle fixed at the same angle

Keep knees bent at all times

Feet remain behind the vertical line going through your knees

Keep stride length short

Keep knees and thighs down, close together, and relaxed

Always focus on pulling the foot from the ground, not on landing

Do not point or land on the toes

Gravity, not muscle action, controls the landing of the legs

Keep shoulder, hip and ankle in vertical alignment

Arm movement is for balance, not for force production
