I have been trying to run tall and push my hips forward, after an hour run yesterday I went out today for a walk and the top of my hip bone seems to hurt?

Im having pain in my tibialis anterior after several minutes of slow running. I've watched youtube on the proper form, i forgot the youtuber and instructed to run like you are cycling. I just did that and the pain was gone. I execute it like in your video, not over striding. I also noticed that when i slightly lean foward, i was able to land on my forefoot. Thanks for sharing

Can you please provide the links to the videos you mentioned here. (BTW you explain things so well and entertaining)

Interesting. I'm running barefoot shoes and I've never ever had such thinking. I just run normally. Train long enough and your feet will harden but I've neve seen any reason for myself to try to run in such bizzarre manner :D.

THANK YOU!! I used to love running when I was younger, and was quite fast. During Covid, I took a deep dive into RUclips running channels and changed my form slightly, head to toe. I also slowed down. A lot. I figured it was age. All the analyzing, and the inexplicably much slower pace, (we're talking 1-3 minutes a mile slower) sucked the fun out of running. I can't wait to go for a run today, and just run like the relaxed carefree kid i was!

Dear mister Zillén, you're kind of a wizard. I started running a month ago at a weight of 265 pounds with a 1h05 10k. Applying advices from many of your videos i just ran a 54min 10k at 230 pounds, and it felt effortless. Thank you.

So happy I wasted my time, I always wanted to know how basketball players jumped….

For a beginner like me who has only been running for a month and a half, I can only manage a pace of six minutes per kilometer for a ten-kilometer run. Lifting my legs higher would mean increasing my speed, which would only make me more tired.

maybe you don't understand it fully. breaking forces are not so muchdependent on how much the recovery leg lifts or how long the distance in front of the COM. What matters most is that the front food most accelerates back horizontal quickly enough. Some call it negative foot velocity.. This so called slizing the ground is key for fast running. But this is only possible if the recovery leg also accelerate forward. I think the limiting factor is the forward acceleration/ hip flexion of the recovery leg. At the end it's a scissoring motion wich comes from the core.

or just get a metronome app and set the cadence you like :P

Thank you for simplifying the concept. Regards Giri

... canter and gallop

One legged box jumps 👍

Nice hops.

Don't know swedish but song rocks regardless.

Never had these type of discussions with other runners. I simply accept my cadence that varies depending on my speed. I am actually more concerned about my running technique. A good one applied to high and low cadence.

Accelerationen bestämmer lutningen, inte farten. En kropp med konstant fart är i vila i fysikalisk mening och borde inte ha någon märkbar lutning i höga farter. Nästa intressanta fråga är hur du skall luta i backar, om du springer i nerförsbacke ganska snabbt utan bromsande krafter så borde lutningen vara vinkelrätt mot marken och springer du långsammare så borde lutningen vara närmare lodrätt men gissar att det bästa är att lita på att balansorganet och inte tänka för mycket. När man springer uppför så är ju varje steg en liten acceleration för att övervinna tyngdkraften så då får man luta lite framåt i förhållande till marken.

it is actually easy to feel the extra effort it takes to run with feet close to the ground, and also you risk to trip over as well.

Great videos!! - thanks for taking the time to make these in English!!!

Does going from a 180 cadence to 225 make you faster? It has for me. (16mph to 22mph) my stride only varies from 1.1 to 1.4 , I’m 5’6” tall. I’m 48yrs old & now run a faster 200m than in high school, (26sec)

谢谢

Which camera/drone do you use to take such great moving images?

So, this is a classical problem of cause and effect. We don't want overstriding, but what is the cause? Running is notorious difficult to analyze. Still, I believe that if you ask a person that overstrides to slightly increase the stride frequency, you will see a general improvement.

45° will achieve the greatest R value. Can't believe i never thought of the

I Do The Wall Running drill for Sprinters and it helped me with the Forward Lean Posture..

Hey, which threadmill are you using?

Hey dude, ty so much for this video. I've learnt a lot and for the first time in years I finally ran, and using your techniques and tips it felt pretty good and I loved it, although I did tire from it hahaha But ty so much for helping me to get into shape one step at a time

Grymt jobbat! Men är det verkligen godkända wall balls? I bottenläget ska väl höftvecket vara lägre än knät? Jag har sett många videos på tävlande som är långt ifrån detta i hyrox och domare verkar ändå ge godkänt. Vad är det som gäller?

What's your ave cadence and stride length on a 5k compared to half or full marathon? Could be an interesting video your results

Adopting a ridiculously crappy form when increasing your cadence doesn't prove shortening strides will increase overstriding! The only thing it proves is that you're not rigorous with logic and experimentation!

Love your channel, this one was somewhat unclear and maybe contradicting. In a previous podcast, more height implied less energy expenditure becasue of the enhanced ability to heel kick as opposed to slogging or shuffling. Can you please clarify?

Best running form advice on RUclips.

I thought the answer seemed to be yes but knew it had to be no because the answer is ALWAYS no on this channel, lol.

Does going from a cadence… Please 🙏

Hi, would you recommend the deviate nitro elite 2 (or deviate nitro 2)? Weight 88 kg, average pace in hyrox 4'30”/km! Or do you have any other better advice? Thank you in advance

I forced myself into 180 strides per minute and I am stuck at 20 min per 5k, seems that I am unable to lower the timing. Also I find it very difficult to run at 4 min/k since I could not relax. The problem is when I take longer steps I start noticing my knee after a short time... P.S. I am a heel strider converted to front foot strider and know I land on my whole (middle) foot. I converted forced by the fact that I destroyed my right knee by being a heel strider and low cadence runner.

Sanity at last. But why are people prepared to pay coaches who tell these untruths as if they stop to think for themselves they will see that most of the stuff coaches pedal as fact are in fact utter nonsense.

To run more mindfully, (focusing on one form-focus point at a time; eg: stretch at the heel, mid foot strike, etc), I find it easier to slow down my cadence. I’m 6’1” and I really run above 162-165 cadence, and when I try to deliberately increase my cadence it always feels forced, increasing heart-rate and perceived effort. I run more naturally with greater enjoyment when I’m actually not even thinking about cadence.

One leg should overstride while the other can take short fast steps thereby proving the flop method of swinging the feet forward will greatly simplify the explanation.

😯 What is an observational fact is that higher cadence means a runner will have a shorter period of time between each foot placement, resulting in a LOWER CHANCE of an average runner BEING ABLE to overstride. That does not mean a runner might not change their form to inadvertently force/cause an overstride. But, that's not common. In fact, it is rare. Worse yet, you even site the physics of higher cadence resulting in less vertical movement, which means the force is... forward and less vertical. And, the only way that can happen is... a) ...if there is less overstriding (called breaking force) ...and/or... b) ...if more of the foot landing is under the center of gravity allowing for a more horizontal push off. Plus, the results from a population of one runner does not reflect anything as a basis. I don't know of anyone that says increasing cadence ALWAYS decreases overstriding. It's confusing... because you've created a problem that doesn't exist, then have a solution that the physics you note says you increase the cadence. 🤷‍♂️

Those two examples have hugely different form, though. Would someone who lopes about like your slow cadence stride really switch to that insanely awkward high cadence stride? Of course, you're right that it COULD increase overstriding, but I could be the Queen of England. What are the actual odds that a more typical change from a natural 160 up to 170 or 180 would actually result in more overstriding?

I am not sure your examples are valid. The posture of you running with shorter strides was strange; it was like you were shuffling your legs while sitting on a stool. No wonder you were over striding. If you use the same posture in both cases, the result might be different.

So how do i correct overstriding ?

A lot of pro runners will do their easy runs at under 160 cadence and definitely not overstride, whereas you will never see a pro run their easy runs at 190 cadence.

The best way to increase cadence is to decrease vertical displacement?

Shout out to the camera man 😎

I try to not let my foot spend it's vacation in front of my knee. As far as I'm concerned it has no buisiness being there doing nothing. I really don't know if that's wrong (probably) or if its a good idea. I don't run around looking at my feet and I don't try to shorten my step. Instead i try to focus on having a sharp angle in my arms and drive with my elbows instead of my hands, i kind of like it that way, and I also find it easier to drive with my knees when i have my arms in a sharper angle. I recently filmed myself at a very slow pace where I thought the risk was bigger for me to move my feet like I'm kicking a football but as it turned out I had no idea how I ran. My foot was pretty much under my knee the whole time. Right or wrong? I'm not the one to tell but I certainly didn't overstride at low paces as I though and I landed midfoot and not heel even though I was 100% sure I was a heel runner at low paces and moved towards midfoot when I increased the pace. I was a bit surprised how wrong I was. To be honest I had no idea until I saw the video in slow motion. I probably watched one or two of your videos before I decided to take a good look. I'll never regret that! You are spot on in every video.

Energy savings aside, what about wear and tear on joints? Does running with feet closer to the ground produce less impact and less up and down bounce of the entire body?

I used to run to 185spm but now I run 175spm and still land under the center of mass. I just let my feet dangle back and keeping my body relaxed, not leaning too much forward and keeping a good shoulder - hips rhythm while focusing on my core for most of the run. When I feel like I am losing my form I stop for few seconds and retake again. I learned all these on this channel. Thank you Fredrik !

I guess problem is (as you demonstrated in video) when people focus on really short steps sometimes they can end up sucking themselves down to the ground. Then the only way to move forward at the same pace is to reach out with the foot even more to drag themselves along. So using bigger muscles expending more energy rather than utilising free elastic energy and creating some ‘air’ time or bounce so can maintain cadence and stride length.
