TIPS FOR PROPER RUNNING FORM
1. UNDERSTAND PHYSICAL TENSEGRITY MODELS
When we move, some parts of our body tense and some relax. It can be helpful to imagine the body like a sailboat: it moves when some ropes are drawn taut, some are left loose, and the wind fills the sail. This resembles how our muscles, ligaments, tendons, and breath propel us.

Running requires concurrent relaxation and tension throughout the body. Smooth running form occurs when we relax muscles that help promote breathing (like the neck) while tensing muscles that help with stability (like the glutes). Relaxing some muscles helps the body retain energy for more intense movements (like an unexpected hill climb). Physical tensegrity ensures that the ankles bounce off the ground efficiently (versus stomping like Frankenstein).(1)

2. ESTABLISH YOUR RUNNING POSTURE
Just as you can improve your posture in seated and standing positions, so can you improve your posture while running.
