After seeing yet another post on social media about how runners should strive to move as little as possible up and down and as "proof" published a film of an elite runner where a line is drawn at the runner's head where it looks like it moves very little in height, I thought I would now clarify how it works. How much your head moves up and down when you run is not an indication of how much you move up and down. Of course, it depends on what we mean by 'you'. What costs energy is how much you move your centre of mass when you run. This is NOT the same as head movements as the position of your centre of mass can shift depending on how you move your arms and legs. Also - if you think your nice running watch you have that shows vertical oscillation is correct, you are wrong. Welcome to another video where I complicate things you thought were simple when it comes to energy efficient running technique.

"The best money I have ever spent. Great mix of humour, practical technique and theory. It’s brilliant and I have been telling all my friends about it. I’ve knocked 30 secs off my average pace to 4:30 and at 53 I’m absolutely astonished how relaxed I feel running. It’s also really helped my cycling my adapting similar techniques and visualisation. Thanks so much."
