Beg forgiveness for abusing this famous quote: “It is better to look good…and darling, you look marvelous!”
While running, I have yet to pass a glass storefront without sneaking a look at my running form. Vane? Maybe but who of you hasn’t? Come on now, be honest.
I watch Marathons and distance running events every chance I get. I’m no Elite but I love watching their form. Similarly when out driving and I see a runner, I always make a mental note on their running form. Not to judge but just a note on how comfortably or uncomfortably they seem to be running.
So how does running form affect your running. Forefoot, barefoot, heel strike; arm motion; posture…all contribute to proper running form and impact your performance…and running pleasure. I recently came across this article on running form. It outlined the 6 things to think about to improve the efficiency of your running form: 6 Things to Improve your Running Form.
Looking good while running really does matter. So watch your form and see improvements in your running.
Until next time…
