We were always told to run by keeping our body upright and straight . But when I seen Irishprincess post I thought I'd give it a go and it's worked on the last 3 runs π
Brilliant effort, still jealous of your hills especially now youβve discovered the secretπ€£ now try leaning forward on the downward slope, takes guts and balance but saves the knees jarring from braking on each stride. Canβt say I manage it very often. I prefer to break and be in control. Happy running π€
Good run for you today Buddy34 and great advice from Irishprincess as well regarding running up hills, I will remember that when tomorrow I run that Virtual "Vitality 'London' 10,000" (10k) run tomorrow that Dexy5 has invited people to join.
Really pleased it helped Buddy πββοΈπ Iβm now practising looking at my shadow as I run just to keep checking that Iβm leaning forward π
Ha ha Irish Princess, you were asking me about my beard on another post, as far as shadows, from about 4 months growth of it, when the sun shines I can see the shadow of my beard when I walk, run or cycle jutting out of my chin. π
When I run up a hill I am aware looking at my shadow that I am leaning forward when running, unless the hill is very steep, then I will πΆ walkπ
Morning IP, it was very majestic this morning when I ran that "Virtual Vitality London 10,000" for Dexy5 around my local loch in a time of 73,21, I could see the shadow of my beard all the time as the sun was shining, a good run for me, that was my 6th 10K.
Hi buddy34 , I agree although I find it awkward at times , you need to look up Jae Gruenke β Balanced runner β on YouTube some interesting advice / tips about form and techniques . Plus she backs it up with body science and personal experience!
I was going to post and ask if anyone knew where I could find JuJu's post about hill running. She posted a video on one of her Magic 10 posts but I didn't have time to view and now I can't find it but this bit of information will do the trick! I'll give this a try on Thursday π
