You're wrooong... good form is instinctive, you just always have too many bad influences through your societal living conditions for your instinct to come through. Also the deforming of your foot through lifelong wearing of normal footwear and maybe bad sleeping posture. It's no wonder you lost your instinct for this and never gained awareness for it. Otherwise you wouldn't have to learn good form.... fish also don't have to teach each other how to swim most efficiently. It's pretty bizarre.

The 3 things that enabled me to massively improve my running capability were the following: 1) SLOW DOWN!!! I was running way too fast, which was exhausting me very early. I've found that they best way to go is to start slower, and naturally increase pace as you go along if you wish. I know that sounds strange but it seems to be the case for me 2) Get a better technique. This is very important too. With the correct technique (as shown in this video) you seem to just go faster with far less effort. Its amazing! 3) Eat healthier Ive stopped eating sweat treats (biscuits, cakes... I still have honey and a bit of sugar though) and drinking caffeine This may not work for you but I just thought it may be a useful read. Thanks for reading!

Train less and train better. I'm learning that overtraining leads to injuries and it makes harder to achieve your full potential. Now I don't use to work out two consecutive days, or I do different workouts like strength or stretching. I avoid training when my legs or joints are in pain from past workouts and I stop when I feel I'm about to get injured. The last statement might sound silly but it took some time to learn in my case.

Really appreciate that slow running form was actually demonstrated for newer runners. The bicycle analogy was especially helpful and after a few days I’m surprised how much farther I’m able to run. I added an additional mile in just two days - albeit I’m not setting any world records.

The problem is, that for newer runners if they have no condition at all and they try to do "strong legs", they die off within first 10 minutes, because all their energy is wasted on turning legs around. You can see it in the video too. It seems easy for Mark, because Mark has plenty of strenght to do it seemingly easy, but you can see in the video how a lot of his energy is pushing him up instead of forward and all the circular motion is wasted compared to lazy-legs, which are NOT effective in higher speeds but in pace like 8-9 minutes per km it is muuuuuch better choice.

@Gustavo L I see what you did there

I've been getting shooting pain from my kneecaps on my 10km+ daily run, and was feeling really bumped that i might need to scale back or stop running altogether. I chanced upon this video and realised I've been lazy running. I tried out the techniques this evening, imagining i'm cycling, with spine straight and lifting my feet up like running on hot lava. And yes, it felt really awkward at first, felt like i'm just running on the spot, up down, and yes, my speed was slightly slower than usual as I also took shorter strides, but wow, no pain throughout my run! I'm a happy runner again, this is such a lifesaver! 👍

Thank you for your good advices Mark! I really admire people, who get excited about what they do. It is obvious from every gesture you do, that you love what you are doing. Keep up the great work :)

I was amazed at how well Mark's advice worked on pointing your toes upward, using my Achilles heel as a spring , and mimicking the bicycle pedaling motion during running. I have been running consistently for fifteen months but often my form was extremely sluggish, slow and painful. I was literally dragging my feet. Yesterday, I incorporated these techniques and I was relatively pain free and a little faster. Honestly in the middle of the run I felt surprised and grateful on how well these techniques worked. As stated earlier in the video, even though running is a simple activity it is paramount to learn good technique to make the running motion more efficient and to avoid lingering injuries. Well done running presentation!

Thank you for demonstrating the bad form as well! I've had hard time trying to learn proper form as few youtubers seem to show the difference between the good and bad one

I ran 1.5 miles with "strong feet" and my calves / lower legs were on fire. "Strong feet" did absorb a lot of impact, which was nice, but my heart rate was higher than when using my normal crappy form because it took more energy to perform. I could see how this would not only make you a faster sprinter, but also would cause less damage to your joints. That being said, I assume it'll take quite a bit of training to strengthen my legs to utilize "strong feet" efficiently. I'll keep training, thanks for this tip, Brad Kearns!

Very very helpful!! Applying this as I run whilst watching- can already feel a profound difference! Thanks so much!

Thank you Brad! You’re the best.

Thanks a lot for great explanation, incredible to observe how my knee pain fades away after paying attention to this technique.

Omg thank you this was very helpful. I just came back from a short run and thanks to you I know I’ve been running bad and I will correct myself now.

Thank you mark. After 8 years of riding a bicycle for cardio, last month I took up running 3 times per week and realised that my technique sucked and the first few sessions were also using the wrong kind of footwear leading to a lot of foot pain. Videos like this one and many others have really helped me isolate and fix issues in my technique and I have been running pain free these last couple of sessions. Many thanks for this video. 🙏🏽

Honestly one of the best technique videos I've seen yet. Straight forward, not too much fluff, and I think I get it now. Can't wait to try it! I was under the impression for some reason that maybe my body should not bounce at all but that hips should almost stay parallel to the ground the entire time. So I avoided any "bounce" (like off my heel), thinking I was doing my knees a favor. We'll see next run. Thanks!

Thanks for a great explanation it helped me a lot to improve and to reduce injuries... earlier I got a shin-splint due to the striking heel .....at first I didn't think it was because of wrong technique but yeah technique just made my problem solve

Thank you for sharing the techniques so clearly. I am getting ready for my run and will start implementing the techniques you have shown.

Thank you. This finally explains the heavy leg feeling I get whilst trying to get into running ... well jogging really. Makes a lot of sense 👍

I was actually just walking, and I also have been running for a couple of weeks and man let me just say I’ve been in excruciating pain, from Shin Splints all the way up to even feeling the Lower Back pain. I stumbled across this video and I began to refocus on what I was actually doing While I was walking and guess what ? It all went away like a magic trick. I was a lazy walker and a lazy runny but the bike pedal analogy really helped me refocus and even tho I’m far from perfect at this point this advice really helped out ! Thank you so much !!

So all these years I've always wondered why my plantar fascia hurts everytime I''m running, jogging, or walking too long. I thought I had plantar fasciitis. Turned out all I did was this "lazy running" where I propel my legs using my toes. This apparently took a toll on my plantar fascia and make blisters on my big toes. Now I am using my calf and surprise surprise, no more pain in the feet after a long session of walking or jogging.

I'm dealing with minor side knee pain after I'm done running. This video was very helpful. I'll be sure to do all of what you'd said next time I go running. Thank you

Thank you for the coaching tips, this is definitely helping me.

That’s me! Collapsing into the ground....I bike .... and often wondered why I’m not running like I bike...thanks for the tips.

I just realized that I've been doing the "Lazy Foot" running all this time. Thanks a lot for the correction! :D

Wow. I'm a long-time runner/sprinter, but I never realized I did lazy foot when just warming up with jogging. More conscious of correct form at all times now. Thanks!

Unbelievably helpful. Thanks again Kearns!

that's prefect. I understood that I was running WRONG my whole life. Thanks a lot.

I think I'm finally starting to understand the correct form. That springy-ness is key to run faster and more efficiently. So many components involved to practice, I would argue running is extremely technical.

Ohh my Godd!!!! Finally , i found a video that actually explains sprinting for a beginner like me. I now realize i always had poor form and thus always felt pain in knees and ankle every time i went for running. .. .. Glad to hear all these useful tips about proper form... Thanks .!!

One thing I always like to practice for better running technique is to run with a “quiet” upper body. If my visual horizon is bouncing then there is a good chance I am landing vs propelling myself forward, which is less efficient and more importantly more jarring to the body.

Hey! What about the infamous “heel-strike”? In your lazy foot example you clearly had the heel strike, and in the strong foot example you had the mid-foot landing. I also noticed the mid-foot landing in your clip of Usain Bolt. I was just hoping you’d address it, but I was still able to, at least, observe it. Anyway, good video, and thank you for sharing.

@@markorcena5579 This is a very good, informative video, however, I think Mark may be over-exaggerating the movements just a little. I don't think he's doing it on purpose, or because he actually runs that way. I think he's just trying to get the movements more visible for the camera. Thankfully, he's running in Vibram FiveFingers, so certainly helps him display proper technique, and we get to see how the human foot actually functions. I think a broader look at running form would show that form can range anywhere between what Mark calls "Lazy Feet" and what he shows, (and what we've seen) with elite sprinters, like Bolt and Allyson Felix. It depends on what kind of running you're doing at the moment AND on what your fitness level is. As for the "heel strike" question, you're not really heel striking in FF's at lazy foot speeds. It's still a midfoot strike, but it's more relaxed and almost a flat foot touch-down. You're not putting much force into the ground/road in this light type of running form, so the body doesn't have much forward lean, and you're just kinda cruising along softly. I think Mark has done an excellent job here. It's tough to show all aspects and what he's talked about and shown is good.

Wow..really answered the many questions that have been springung up in my head..seems like more springing is required in my lazy foot..lol Thanks tonnes.

I'm new to running--as a sport. I'm so glad to see this because I think I figured this out on my own and your video is great confirmation. To your point, I figured it from trying to beat my times on my Garmin watch. I was trying to get my Vo2 up (gimicky or not) and started sprinting. I realized that I ran and sprinted better by using quick choppy steps, not the dragging "casual jog 4:31" style I was using. That an sticking to a cadence of 160 actually helped me run faster. Great video, thanks!!!

Still hard to do that bicycle run technique since my thigh muscle is so weak.

But... it is so hard to not run like a lazy foot when the speed is slow. By the way, I relaxed my ankle in purpose because of the pose method of running, but it seems like it is wrong.

Great it is very helpful tips, thank you so much sir. Looking forward for your nxt tips..
