Pose Running Reduces Economy...

Check out this study.



Pose Running reduces running economy...the missing study

About 4 weeks ago, we ran a six-part series on running technique, evaluating the Pose and Chi methods for running. In that series, we looked at:
  • Whether there is a basis for teaching running as an activity, as opposed to letting "natural" technique evolve?
  • The philosophy of how we run
  • The biomechanics of Pose running
  • The Scientific evidence for changing a running technique
  • Some practical tips for improving your running without trying to make "wholesale" changes
  • Whether running techniques like Pose are marketed as medical products?
