Proper Posture: – Maintain an upright stance with your head up and shoulders relaxed. – Keep your chest open and engage your core muscles for stability and balance. – Avoid leaning too far forward or backward while running.
Foot Strike and Stride Length: – Land softly on the midfoot or forefoot to reduce impact and prevent injury. – Aim for a natural and comfortable stride length, avoiding overstriding or taking excessively short steps
Arm Movement: – Maintain relaxed and bent arms, swinging them forward and backward, not across your body. – Ensure your arm swing is in sync with your leg movement to optimize efficiency and balance.
Cadence (Step Rate): – Aim for a moderately high cadence of around 170-180 steps per minute. – Focus on quick, light foot placement and shorter ground contact time to enhance speed and reduce stress on joints.
Hip and Core Engagement: – Engage your hip and core muscles for stability and power generation. – Strive for a neutral pelvic position and avoid excessive tilting or rotation of the hips.
