    Holy crap... I tried this today. (I have always struggled with being quad-dominant and glute-weak.) I instantly jumped 20 steps in cadence! Thinking I couldn't hold it for a full 10 miles, I experimented and found I could, thus reducing my avg pace over 10 miles from my expected 14 min/mi to about 12 min/mi. I'm blown away by the experiment and wanted to share. Granted not everybody has an anterior pelvic tilt/posterior chain weakness... but something to consider it you do! :)
    Specifically, I tried the 'leading with your hips' suggestion imagining the rubber band pulling my hips forward, seen during the drill at 8:35 in this video.

    @sirgurt2483 2 года назад +8

    So simple and effective. I used this quick exercise before and after a 2 mile run and I can already feel a huge difference. I ran slightly quicker than normal but using the same amount of energy output. I’ve probably been working against myself by not utilizing my hips, can’t wait to keep practicing this and improving my form. Thanks coach!

    Great video! Deep belly breathing when I'm running is what I always use to reset my hips and re-engage my core. The visualization of running and pushing my hips forward is something I've also found really useful.

    @FLamar-ki3ik 4 года назад +4

    Thank you so much for this video. I've been experiencing lower back tightness and pain since I started running again. I had been trying to push through the pain. I was hurting so bad the last time I almost had to crawl home. I tried motion control shoes and a bunch of other tactics and nothing worked. I found this video on my off day and did two reps plus some more core exercises. Then I did the exercises again before my run. While on my run I visualized a fisherman at the finish line. The fisherman had his fishing line hooked into my bellybutton and was pulling me towards the finish. The visualization help me maintain a more neutral pelvic tilt the entire time. I finished the run entirely pain free. That was only after 3 sessions of the recommended experience! My mind is blown 🤯.

Does not feel good but I have noticed that 3/4 way to finishing, I start to get tired and sloppy in the way I carry myself, slouching over for example. This video has confirmed what i have been trying to do which is standing up straight. I will try the exercise of encouraging my core to be stronger with the breaths. Thanks!

    Does anyone know how form and posture from other disciplines play into running form or healthy mobility in general? Specifically I'd like to know how classically trained ballet dancers vs surfers vs swimmers would compare in a side by side analysis of things like core glutes hips posture. Maybe using a toddler as a control lol, their posture is perfect and unspoilt.

As my longer runs have increased I have been having a ton of hip flexor/psoas issues.

      Posture. Squat and lunge with good hip knee and ankle alignment. Practice single leg 1/4 squats and squat jumps and then tying that back into your running. Have you seen any of our programs? We could really help you get there...therunexperience.com/

I have a slight curvature in my lower back so my hip stability, knocked knees, and ankle mobility are all areas of opportunity. Is there a program that you recommend starting with first?

    @patriciaharrison9790 5 лет назад

    No! When the glutes were squeezed the lady pushed her hips forward, the hips have to be in neutral then squeeze, the only way is to brace lower abs. You need to establish neutral spine. When lying down in the 100 position - Pilates - no pressing into ground there has to be a slight gap to reflect lordotic curve.

    I think the breath is not done properly to secure the exercice, because it does not respect the fact that the exercice should be done with the focuse of the pressure of the back on the ground. The adapted way of breathing with the focus of the maintain of the back is the pilate one : on inspiration, the belly has to stay hollowed and only the chest is moving !

    • @TheRunExperience
      @TheRunExperience  6 лет назад

      Hey Joy! When you say flick, are you saying your toes spin outward (heels coming in closer to each other), or the other way around? And we'd be so excited to have you train with us. No doubt we could fix up your stride and overall running endurance and strength in no time :)

      Sounds like you've got some tight adductors and hips, and potentially a little room to improve your outer quad strength. We have some good videos on single leg strength work as well as on mobility and foam rolling for the legs. Give those a look :)
