Now the concept of running "naturally" and hitting the ground on your midfoot instead of your heel is being advanced by university studies, biomechanists, stride gurus and shoe companies as a highly efficient way to run and prevent common running injuries.
One of the first technique gurus to preach midfoot running was Dr. Nicholas Romanov, a Russian biomechanist who in the mid-1970s developed and started teaching the Pose Method -- a running technique that stresses impact reduction and, its proponents claim, maximizes the use of gravity and momentum. More recently, ChiRunning, Evolution Running, Newton Running, Radiant Running and Stride Mechanics have espoused natural running techniques that include upright posture with a slight forward lean, short strides with a high cadence and feet striking directly under the hips.
But it wasn't until 2005 when he read Danny Dreyer's ChiRunning, which offers a holistic approach to running technique utilizing tenets of the Chinese martial art of Tai Chi, that Cucuzzella put it all together -- running with a high cadence, short strides, footstrikes under his hips and an upright posture, and deriving power from his core.
Run Naturally
Here are several basic tenets of natural running form espoused by various technique gurus:
- Regardless of your running pace, run with a fast cadence of 180 to 190 steps per minute or higher.
- Run with an upright posture and a slight forward lean.
- Strike the ground below your hips and not in front of them to reduce braking. (Wearing lightweight, low-to-the-ground shoes with minimal midsole cushioning helps reinforce this stride.)
- Strike the ground at the midfoot, not the heel or the toes -- the actual impact area will vary based on body type -- and allow your heel to naturally settle to the ground.
- When starting a new stride, develop the habit of picking up your leg instead of pushing off the ground.
- Use a compact and fluid arm swing, keeping your elbows bent at an acute angle and your hands close to your chest.
- Keep your head upright and steady and your eyes looking forward.
- Be "present in the moment" to allow yourself to concentrate on your stride but stay relaxed and don't overanalyze. The more you adhere to good form, the quicker it will become second nature.
- Consider getting custom insoles to further your gait enhancement.
- Land at the midfoot and allow the heel to settle to the ground.
- Instead of rolling through a stride and pushing off, lift your leg to begin a stride.
- A key to natural running form is high cadence with short strides, regardless of pace.
