Seems the normal way of running isnt good enough and someone had to invent a new one?

Where have you been hiding?

never heard of it, just stumbled across it (trying to pose run and kicked myself in the ass)

Just sounds like a way of explaining what most good runners do.

Bit similar to this…

can I pose run barefoot or do I need to buy special posing trainers ?

Kev

I thought Pose Running was when you go prancing along with one of those daft arm-band iPod holder things?

Just sounds like a way of explaining what most good runners do.

Exactly, it’s basically the opposite of the “jogger’s plod”

Isn’t this just “running like a girl”? 😉

I think it’s more “running like a nancy” 😉

Mrs S converted to pose method a couple of years ago. Its not quite as simple as “not running with a jogger plod” and there’s lots of material on it. Her performance has dramatically improved on it though.

Isn’t this just “running like a girl”?

i’ve taught my girlfriend to run like this, so yes 🙂

she says ‘it’s not really running because it’s easier’…

Isn’t this about finding clever ways of making money from an activity which otherwise would be simple and free?!

How to spot bad science and fads- Determining whether an idea is worthwhile:

pose, barefoot, natural, chi running. lots of names. bloody hard to change your running style after 20 odd years, but i’m giving it a go

Hmmm. The ‘Pose’ runners still get hammered by all those little african fellas who’ve never had anyone teaching them that they are running in the wrong way….

From what I can see, “pose” is trzing to get runners to run like those little african fellas who’ve never had anyone teaching them that they are running in the wrong way….

…and what’s wrong with good old fashioned English running? THe running that worked so well in the Guns of Navarone, Colditz, the Great Escape and Chariots of Fire?

It was found to be less successful in Zulu.

It’s not like “those little African fellas” don’t have any training though is it ?

They don’t just nip over to Kenya with a box of Nike Running Spikes and hand them out randomly to get Olympians.

Thats because they didn’t run in any way. Unless you mean the Zulus in which case I don’t believe pose running is known to stop bullets.

I read Rose Prunning!!
Can’t help with running like a wrongun, can help prunning :O)

How is it a money making scheme, I know a number of runners who run pose and spent nothing on doing it? Largely it is just about avoiding heel strikes, which we all know helps out the knees of fatties like me. Go to an Ely club run and try to beat a guy called John, then tell me it doesn’t work 🙂
