Ideal running posture

[HeavyFoot]

This was on BBC website this morning. I hope I haven’t infringed any copyright, but I’m intrigued to know how many VRBs run like this. 🥴

I saw that photo, too. She looks as if she's jumping across a beck or something. I definitely don't look like that, even trying to leap across an obstacle, but I would love to be able to get my legs that far apart!

Would love those legs 🤣

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

I think she’d need them 😁

🤣

I think generic photos of runners often look like this. It adds to the misinformation about how people are supposed to look when they run. Take this one for a start 🏃‍♀️

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Speedy60]

🚶‍♂️these are more like it 🧎‍♀️

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

Not very dramatic though, is it 😏

[Annieapple Administrator in reply to HeavyFoot]

😂🤣

[Roxdog Graduate10]

Whaaat! That's no good!

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

She looks like she's going into the splits.

On another note was just out with the dog and seen a young guy running in ' adidas samba shoes🙄

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

I've seen some quite odd running gear and posture this weekend. I think people have just realised it's about time they got moving because there's nothing else to do.

The injury couch will be pretty busy next week

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Speedy60]

Listen to us the running experts 🤣🤣

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Oh, let me have it. It's the first time I've ever been able to gloat out running. Usually, I'm beging lapped by the skinny gazelles and their ponytails 😆

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Speedy60]

Oh yes I forgot I needed to hide my pony tail from you🤣🤣

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

🏃‍♀️ 😡 💇‍♀️ 😆

[RunaroundSue Graduate10]

I thought that. Count me out.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

I too questioned that, looks more like a weird long jump. 🤗

[ktsok]

I’m not sure many of us would be able to get upright again from that position.

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to ktsok]

😁😁

[Runningroni Graduate10]

Yep me, Penelope pitstop and spotty dog run like that all the time, as if

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

She’s pushing hard for sure... can’t see the ground. If she inches off it it’s not ideal, looking at the back foot, she’s gonna do well to get her front foot back enough. I saw this article about running the race distance despite the race being off, and can’t help thinking this picture was staged. I’d put her in for 400m hurdle training though, powerful looking lady.

[Sparkey5000 60minGraduate]

It’s a funny one for sure.....I don’t know the lady but the place is Leamington....just up the road from me. Got to be staged as you couldn’t go round that corner in a hurry as usually busy with people 🤣

[Annieapple Administrator]

🤣 I would never move again!! Would kill me off long before Corona 😂🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

She might be in the first stage of either the long or high jump, even the triple jump.

[Saxart Graduate10]

No, I can't see how you could run like this for long. Definitely looks like she is jumping over something
