Running form

Some guy over at runnersworld.com critiqued my form for me. This is what he had to say:

You don't seem to be releasing yourself quickly from your landing and you seem to be pushing and extending your feet and hips as your body moves over and past your foot(lean). My recommendation would be to learning to release your balance quicker and to learn how to lift you foot appropriately. Here are several vids to help explain this concept: Posture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2tdWy3MuHg Falling Posture(also known as leaning in running): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6573634917798930547# Proper way to pull/lift the feet: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2689856767868214443# and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHAc802EHy0

That's actually pretty cool. What did you do? Just post a video and someone who knows about form commented?

Hey, Em

Yeah. Jess took a video of me running 6:30 pace around a track last fall. Some people over on the Barefoot Running forum at runnersworld.com were posting videos of themselves running and he was critiquing. That's what caused me to do the same.

This is a video of him running on a treadmill at different paces so you can see pose at various speeds.
