Lynn is uniquely qualified to teach this skill-based approach to running, strength training and programming.

As a former national level runner, triathlete and duathlete she was personally coached by Dr. Romanov and as a result of his guidance, she achieved goals and PRs she'd never thought possible. Her first-hand experience with Pose programming and strength training gives her insider knowledge on how to coach other elite and age group athletes toward optimal performances -- progressively and methodical

ly. Pose endurance programming is based on fundamentally different principles than those traditionally followed in endurance running. Rather than the traditional focus on mileage, we prioritize skill, speed and strength as the foundations for endurance training. We teach strength-conditioning based on the revolutionary "speed-strength- change-of-support" concepts that are unique to the Pose Method Theory of movement. Pose concepts are useful for people of all ages and all fitness levels, from elite level athletes to those simply wanting to recapture the freedom to move freely and get stronger without injury or pain. Whether your goals involve walking, running, swimming, tennis, cycling, strength training, triathlon competition, or simply enjoying movement without injury, this technique-based movement instruction and strength training is the smartest path to all your movement goals. You will learn how to move in a way that eliminates pain so you can get back to enjoying an active life-style. If you are intent on becoming a more competitive athlete, you will discover newfound power and agility that will give you an incredible edge and high-level of confidence in all your racing pursuits. Finally, you will be on the path that will allow you to methodically and progressively reach your true potential as an athlete. Before she began working with the Pose Method, Lynn was chronically injured, for over 15 years, but, at the age of 40, she achieved dramatic improvements in consistency and speed and within a year her race results catapulted her to national levels in running. McFadden Training Systems proudly offers Pose Endurance Programming and Pose Strength Training, both of which are unique and essential components to rounding out your knowledge and experience of efficient, effortless, yet powerful movement for optimal performance.

The rate of body-weight-transfer from one support to the next support correlates with running speed and power. In other words, running speed is merely a derivative of the SKILL of changing support with speed.
If one wants to avail themselves of the existing gratuitous forces in running, (be efficient and more powerful with less effort), it is imperative that the change of support (the switch) from one leg to the other be done ON TIME - with SPEED. This takes skill and the good thing is that it can be learned. Speedy switch + fall = speedy running.

When you run faster, your stride length increases. But when you increase your stride length, you won't run faster.

Think about it.

To increase the distance you cover between each footfall without also increasing your speed, you would need to make an effort to reach forward with one of your legs (overstriding) and/or keep your support foot behind you longer than you should (triple extension or whatever you want to call it). Otherwise you'll be hopping instead of running.

But if you need to increase your speed in order to increase your stride length.... then where exactly does speed come from?

Recommended: Before entering this debate, please make a video of yourself running attempting to increase your stride length, as well as running as usual at various speeds, and review it to see what you are actually doing and what it looks like. Many runners have never seen their own running on video. It can be very eye opening and revelatory.

Runners usually describe their injuries in a manner that makes it sound like they got overloaded by running - "oh I did too much too soon", "it's an overuse injury", etc

Does your stomach wear out from daily food processing? It's the most natural activity, way ahead of running in its "naturalness"... No it does not. It might get stretched by too much food, but that falls under "eating incorrect amount". In the context of eating as an activity, your stomach gets physically damaged when you eat wrong stuff and when you eat the wrong way. We spend an entire lifetime learning how to eat and how to eat better.

Reality in running is very simple. Running is not usually looked at as a skill based activity, so runners simply misuse their feet, knees, etc Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body and it can work flawlessly your entire life but it is among the most common injuries.

Logic is simple. To prevent injuries you must first learn how to run.
