Running Form

Running form should be reviewed regularly. Basic concepts are:

• Run tall - don't lean too far back or forward.
• Run relaxed - head, face, shoulders, and arms should feel relaxed.
• Chin up and eyes forward.
• Arms swing straight ahead - not from side to side.
• Relaxed hands with thumbs up - no clenched fists.
• Start slowly.
• Exert the same effort going up or down hills as on flat ground.
• Do not overstride.
