A Masterclass on Running Form

Published: June 21, 2023, 4:01 a.m.

Should runners be practicing their form?\xa0

Running is one of the few sports that we typically spend all our time training but not practicing. But running is a highly skilled movement, and while there is no perfect running form, should we look to optimize form to boost performance and reduce injuries?\xa0

Here to answer all these questions and provide a masterclass on the subject is Doug Adams

Doug is a Physical Therapist who has published and spoken at an international level on all things related to running, taught thousands of professionals his approach to running gait analysis, and designed and created a widely-adopted portable 3D Motion Analysis system called Helix 3D for analyzing and categorizing running form.

Specifically, we cover:

  1. how running gait impacts overall running performance
  2. common mistakes or inefficiencies in running form
  3. specific drills or exercises that can help improve running form?
  4. how optimizing running form can improve performance and reduce the risk of injuries
