This is brilliant! I only realised it - the pulling - after I recently injured my calf. Flicking my feet - pulling - actually relieves the pain for a short period of time while flicking up.

It's a very simple point but one which is overlooked. I've had tendon problems in my knees and that's where it comes from. Not pulling through the stride and relying on pushing forward only.

Excellent description of proper running ❤

The heel coming up behind you is a reflexive action, not an active action. Don't purposely focus on pulling your heel up.

I tried incorporating something similar to this when I learned the "Pose Method" technique. While I did find it comfortable and efficient it did aggravate my hamstring.

Running is a combination of many movements - including pushing and pulling (and many more).

I just got through watching a bunch of videos from “learntorun” saying running is not a pulling but pushing activity. He said he taught the pose method for a while until he realized how wrong he was because of injuries people were getting. I’m not saying your wrong, but he is very convincing

Pulling was the way to go.... if I could know if im doing okay, I will record myself running. short , simple and a great reminder.

terrific, worthy Running tips nicholas dude ty man, High fives Sasu and Nicholas

Running is jumping on each foot alternately while falling forward.

is it same while running uphill

Great video!

🤔 the other leg?

No, the other can just be released & allowed to drop

Thank you sir

I disagree. Watch videos by Richard Diaz for correct running form.

No it's not

BS. If one leg is pulling the other one has to be pushing.

Actually you are confusing what help turn over rate with locamotion

Try this technique on a cement road and then make this video again.

Just run 😂

well this is not true... every great runner is a pusher.. .more so "a jumper" see how much time they (50 kg Kipchoge, kiptum, Cheptegei etc) spend in the air, and how long their steps are..

Lmao so many random 2:50marathoners giving bullshit advice on KZfaq😂😂😂😂

Pulling is running with less effort. Try pushing a wagon down the road, it is a lot harder. A front wheel drive car will move in the snow a rear wheel car just spins. If you are pushing you are always behind your next step and you are dragging yourself down the road or track. You are literally stepping over yourself.

This is outright wrong. And there is so much you are doing that showcases pushing.

I disagree. You emphasise pulling as a remedy of pushing down. Running is about pushing forward.

this is the worst explaining i have ever seen. Running is literally the opposite of that

i do not agree, you should not have to actively think about running to run it should be a natural motion

funny accent....
